Two cedar conversions, shown step by step

A new roof starts beneath the shingles.

These two homes had their cedar shakes removed, their roofs re-sheeted and new shingle systems installed. Follow each roof’s photographs together to see the work between the old covering and the new surface.

Cedar shake conversion · intersecting rooflines

From cedar shakes to a new shingle roof.

This cedar conversion follows the work across intersecting roof slopes: removing the old shakes, re-sheeting the deck and installing new shingles. The photographs bring the layers beneath the new roof into view.

The later photograph shows installation underway, with underlayment, loose materials and tools still visible in the foreground.

Cedar shake conversion · skylight-roof home

The work beneath a familiar roofline.

At this home, the cedar shakes were removed, the roof was re-sheeted and new shingles were installed. Views of the lower garage roof and the raised roof around the skylight show the preparation stages as well as the new shingle surface.

These photographs show successive roofing stages from different viewpoints. Work lines remain on the roof in the shingled view.

What these photographs show

The preparation
is part of the project.

Removing the cedar makes the deck accessible for the next stage of work.

At these homes, the scope included re-sheeting before the new shingle system. The photographs show the different layers and how the roof changes around chimneys, valleys and a skylight. Work can progress at different stages across separate roof slopes.

For your own home, we’ll discuss removal, the existing deck, re-sheeting and the shingle selection as part of the written scope. Any concealed damage and additional work should be reviewed and approved as the job progresses.
