Expert Cedar Shake Roofing in Ashburn, VA

Cedar shake roofing is a premium natural wood option for Ashburn homeowners who want a roof that stands apart from the standard asphalt look. It suits craftsman, colonial, and estate-style homes common across Loudoun County and the broader Northern Virginia area. Elements Home Remodeling handles cedar shake installation and repair for homes in Ashburn and surrounding communities including Fairfax, Chantilly, Sterling, Leesburg, Reston, Arlington, and South Riding. Northern Virginia's humid summers, freeze-thaw winters, and tree-heavy lots make cedar shake a specialty install. Proper ventilation, correct fastener placement, and appropriate underlayment all affect how long a cedar roof holds up in this climate. Moss, debris buildup, and moisture retention are real factors on shaded Ashburn lots, so installation details matter from day one. If your home's architecture calls for the warmth and texture of real wood, cedar shake delivers a look no manufactured product fully replicates. Contact Elements Home Remodeling to talk through whether cedar shake is the right fit for your home.

What's included

  • Natural wood texture gives craftsman, colonial, and estate homes a distinctive roof profile that asphalt cannot match
  • Cedar has inherent insulating properties that can help moderate attic temperatures during Ashburn's hot, humid summers
  • Properly installed cedar shakes shed water effectively and hold up to the wind and storm events common across Northern Virginia
  • A well-maintained cedar shake roof can serve Ashburn homeowners for decades, making it a long-term investment in the home
  • Real cedar weathers to a natural silver-gray tone over time, adding character that improves curb appeal on wooded lots
  • Cedar shake is a low-density material, placing less structural load on the roof deck compared to heavier premium roofing options

Cedar Shake Roofing FAQ

Common questions about cedar shake roofing in Ashburn, VA.

Cedar shake works well for Ashburn homes with the right architecture and roof exposure. Homes with good sun access and proper ventilation get the most out of cedar in Northern Virginia's climate.

Humidity is the main challenge for cedar shake in the Ashburn area. Shaded roof planes and damp conditions can speed up moss growth and moisture retention, so correct installation and regular upkeep are important.

Yes, Elements Home Remodeling serves Fairfax, Chantilly, and several other Northern Virginia communities for cedar shake roofing. Our service area includes Ashburn, Sterling, Leesburg, Reston, Arlington, and South Riding as well.

Cedar shake roofs in Ashburn benefit from periodic cleaning to clear debris and moss, keeping gutters free of buildup, and inspecting for split or cupped shakes. Homes under heavy tree cover in Loudoun County typically need more frequent attention.

Correctly fastened cedar shakes perform well against the wind and storm events that move through the Ashburn and Sterling area. Proper installation technique and good underlayment are the key factors in storm performance.

Homes with steep-pitch rooflines, craftsman or colonial architecture, and reasonable sun exposure tend to be strong candidates for cedar shake in Ashburn. A roof assessment helps determine whether the structure and setting suit the material.

Mike and his team are THE BEST! They did a few projects for my home (new floors throughout, paint and a full kitchen remodel). The work was done on the timeline he estimated in the beginning and the kitchen is BEAUTIFUL. I had a tentative design made up with the woman from the cabinet store he referred me to. Mike ended up making some tweaks to the layout/design based on some conversations I had with him in the initial consultation that were spot on and so glad he recommended them. Needed some minor repairs/touch-ups when the work was done and he had his team over the next day to get it all taken care of. Even after the work was completed, I reached out with a question and he responded almost immediately. He is amazing, his team is amazing, and their work is on point.

Finally a honest contractor who does exactly what he says he will … same price as quoted, same time frame. Michael replaced my rotten deck posts and did a beautiful job. What more can a homeowner want?!?

They did a great job on our deck rebuild. Our old wood deck was rotting and leaning heavily and Elements tore it down and installed a fantastic looking Composite deck with new footings. Michael DelSontro was great to work with -- fast with communication and resolved any issues immediately (we had 1 or 2 riser boards come with dents/scratches and they replaced them immediately)

Elements Home Remodel repaired part of my roof. Mike was very helpful and responsive, and was able to get a crew out to make the repair in a very timely manner. The entire team was professional and easy to work with. They are dedicated to their company and to their workmanship. I am grateful for their hard work.

Michael DelSontro and his staff at Elements Home Remodeling did a wonderful job on our new roof. Michael worked hard for us, dealing with our insurance company and stayed steadfast in having everything approved and taken care of. They were able to do it all quickly, properly and efficiently. We can’t begin to thank Michael and his staff for all they have done for us!

I am an Interior Designer and have worked with Mike of Elements Home Remodeling on a few projects. He has been excellent in his communications, organized and reliable. He is one of many contractors I have worked with but one of only a handful I would continue to work with when it comes to a home remodel. Christa Style Savvy Designs

Elements Home Remodeling Did a wonderful job with the home remodeling of my deck board replacement. They gave me a great price and scheduled me right away. They tracked the job from start to finish keeping me aware of any updates along the way. A+ across the board for them and Michael!

John Fox Google review · July 2024

If you are looking for a home remodel, the only business you need to call is Elements Home Remodeling. They have repeatedly exceeded our expectations in terms of communication, price, timeliness, and quality of work. We worked with Mike; he listened to what we wanted, informed us of options, and did not pressure us. The work completed so far includes an entirely new roof, painting the master bedroom, and enclosing our loft to make it a third bedroom. This room was also painted. The quality of work for each of these projects is superior. Much to our delight, the roof was completed a week earlier than planned. We have heard many crazy stories about incomplete and subpar work, lack of communication, and nightmare experiences. Therefore, finding a home remodel company like Elements Home Remodeling has been excellent. Consequently, we will have them work on the exterior of our house next. Elements Home Remodeling, an affordable, reliable, and superior business, is the way to go!
