Cedar Shake Roofs: Protection & Appeal For Ephrata Homes
Your home’s roof is your first line of defense against moisture damage—and without that safety net over your head, you’re risking stressful—and expensive—home repairs.
But with a new cedar shake roof, you’re securing your house—and reducing energy costs—for up to 60 years. All while appreciating the classic beauty and natural weathering of a roof made from durable, organic materials—installed by a reliable roofing partner in Ephrata, PA, with over a decade of local history.
Is Cedar Shake Roofing A Smart Choice For Ephrata?
While it’s true that cedar shake roofs require a higher upfront investment in Ephrata, PA (often double the price of asphalt shingle roofing), this premium style stays in high demand for several key reasons.
Below are the primary reasons why homeowners in Ephrata, PA, continue to select natural cedar shake for their roof replacements.
Longevity
With proper maintenance and routine inspections, cedar shake roofs can last for 30-60 years (ten years longer than asphalt shingles)
Energy Savings
Wood is a poor conductor of heat, making it up to two times more energy efficient than asphalt
Durability
Due to their density and thickness, cedar shakes are resistant to heavy rains, hail, snow, and winds up to 130 mph
Aesthetics
Cedar shakes offer stunning curb appeal—and over time age beautifully into a silver-gray or brownish-hued patina (depending on wood choice)
Due to the distinct benefits of cedar shake, this roofing style remains a top choice in Ephrata, even with today's synthetic alternatives. If you believe it’s the best fit for your home, contact us for an estimate today—from a local roofing contractor trusted for more than a decade.
Signs You Need a New Roof in Ephrata
The most effective way to gauge your roof’s health is through a complimentary assessment. That said, there are specific red flags you can identify—particularly if you are thinking about swapping out your current cedar shake shingles.
Some typical indicators of cedar shake shingle deterioration in Ephrata, PA, include:
Rot and Decay
Moisture trapped against the wood causes fungi, rotting the shingles from the inside, especially in the valleys of the roof.
Curling and Cupping
As shingles age, they may bend, leading to gaps that allow water to penetrate.
Splitting and Cracking
Constant wet-dry cycles and temperature changes cause the wood to split.
Moss and Mold
Moss and algae thrive in shaded, damp areas, trapping moisture against the wood, which inhibits drying and accelerates rot.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Severe weather or poor installation can lead to loose or missing shakes, leaving the underlayment exposed.
Ice Dams
Improper installation, specifically lacking proper ventilation, can lead to ice dam formation in winter.
If you spot any of the issues above—or simply desire an expert’s eyes—call us for a free inspection today. Because left unchecked, water damage inside the house is eventually inevitable. And, with an Ephrata roofing specialist with over ten years of experience in cedar shake systems, you can be sure you’re receiving the elite care you deserve!

Homeowners Loving Their Cedar Shake Roofs
Here’s what a few of your neighbors have to say about their new cedar roofs.
Full Roof, capping of all wood soffit and fascia, all new gutters and downspouts. I had some damage from a tree fall and significant rot or soffit and fascia boards and assumed that the roof underlayment plywood was in bad shape as well. The work was top shelf! They removed 2 layers of shingles in no time. They removed all the ‘water’ and ‘dry’ rotted sheeting taking probably ½ the roof down to the studs/rafters. No short-cut piece cut outs, full sheet replacements. My 30 year old roof was poorly ventilated and they correct with soffit and ridge vents. The carpentry work was very good. They capped all my trim and fascia boards with aluminum and or vinyl and came back and installed amazing seamless gutters and down spouts. Great cleanup and look! Whole team was friendly and answered all my questions; they are very skilled in their craft and were very efficient. A big Thanks to Amos and his team! I highly recommend.
I can’t overstate how great an experience we had working with Amos and his crew. On time, on budget, and top notch workmanship. Great attention to detail. Like clockwork and with hard work they were done in a day. Site clean up was impeccable. Best of all the roof looks awesome. Set for another 50 years.
Scenic View Roofing handled the installation of our new metal roof, replacement skylights and all new gutters (and guards) this past August. From our consult with sales, through the finalization of materials and project dates, to the crew arriving and all throughout the labor process - we were very pleased. Very friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating - and with fair pricing! You can absolutely place your trust in Scenic View Roofing, and I am happy to recommend them to my family, friends, and clients.
Scenic View Roofing did a fabulous job on our roof and gutters. We are extremely satisfied with the work that was done and when we mentioned there was a problem with a board on our deck they took care of it right away and sent us a check to replace the board. They guarantee their work and any damages and they truly meant it. I am pleased with the color Biscayne blue as it matches our shingles perfectly. I am highly satisfied with a job well done at a fair price. I highly recommend Scenic View Roofing.
We are so happy we chose Scenic View Roofing to replace our 25 year old roof! They gave us the best price, a beautiful roof, and all new skylights. Their crew ways always on time, courteous, skilled - and great at clean-up. They followed up on detailed finish work and stayed in communication with us all the way. Thanks for a great job. Highly recommended!
Scenic View was great, from the quick reasonable quote to the beautifully finished product. They are very professional and did a great job installing our shingle and metal roofs. I would highly recommend them.
Great experience from beginning to end. The crew did an excellent job; I applaud them for their perseverance in the bitter cold to install a metal roof. Scenic View came recommended from two different sources and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
Scenic View Roofing replaced the roof on my home in December 2025. It was a complicated job because there was a great deal of deferred maintenance that prior owners had neglected for years. I am so glad I chose this company for my roof. Many areas of the roof deck needed to be replaced and also an attic wall next to a chimney. This was done with skill and true craftsmanship. Bernardo, the lead supervisor in charge, was very experienced, knowledgeable and communicated each step of the way. He explained the issues found in a way that helped me understand and trust they were fixing the roof in a way that would keep the roof and home safe and secure in the decades to come - excellent communication. The crew that came, worked hard and consistently through the record cold December temperatures. They were hardworking, knowledgeable and polite. In my opinion, Scenic View gives the kind of customer service rarely seen in modern companies. They care about their clients, your home and stand behind their work. A true pleasure to work with. Besides all this, the new roof looks gorgeous!
