Are shake roofs allowed in Colorado Springs?
It depends on your neighborhood and local fire regulations. Traditional wood shake roofs may be restricted or prohibited in wildfire-prone zones. However, fire-rated synthetic shakes are often permitted and provide a safe, compliant alternative.
How do shake roofs hold up in Colorado’s hail storms?
Natural cedar shakes can be vulnerable to hail damage unless reinforced. For better durability, many homeowners in Colorado Springs choose impact-resistant synthetic shake roofing, which is engineered to withstand hail and severe weather.
Are shake roofs energy efficient for Colorado’s changing seasons?
Yes. Cedar shakes offer natural insulation, helping reduce energy loss in both hot summers and cold winters. Synthetic options also perform well in temperature extremes when properly installed with insulated underlayments.
What’s the difference between real cedar and synthetic shake roofs?
Real cedar shake offers authentic, rustic character but requires more upkeep and may not meet modern fire codes. Synthetic shakes mimic the look of cedar but offer fire resistance, low maintenance, and higher durability—ideal for Colorado climates.
How long does a shake roof last in Colorado?
With regular maintenance, cedar shake roofs typically last 20–30 years. Synthetic shake roofs can last 40–50 years with minimal upkeep, making them a long-term investment in areas like Colorado Springs.
