Why Preservation Matters

Every homeowner with a cedar roof shares the same hope: that the roof will stay beautiful and dependable for as long as possible. That doesn’t happen by chance — it happens with timely care.

Preserving a cedar roof early delivers the greatest long-term benefit. But whenever uncertainty sets in, the next step isn’t guessing — it’s evaluation. A professional roof evaluation confirms the roof’s current condition and what options still make sense moving forward.

Once a roof is evaluated — and if preservation makes sense — the process itself is straightforward and proven.

How the Process Works

Stage 1 — Cleaning: Preparing the Roof for Preservation

Cleaning isn’t the end goal — it’s the preparation that allows preservation to work.

Using a controlled, low-pressure process, we remove topical mold and mildew, oxidized wood fiber, and light surface buildup while protecting the cedar beneath. This reset opens the grain evenly and creates the conditions the preservation treatment needs to absorb deeply and perform as intended.

When preservation is appropriate for a roof’s condition, it follows the same proven sequence.

First, the cedar is prepared.

Then, it’s protected.

Together, these stages establish a healthy preservation cycle — whether this is your first treatment or a scheduled Re-Coat.

Stage 2 — Preservation: Restoring Oils and Protecting the Wood

On a separate day — once the roof is fully dry — we return to apply TWP-200, our high-solids, professional-grade preservative that repels water while remaining breathable, allowing the cedar to shed moisture without trapping it.

Applied with tuned, high-volume, low-pressure equipment, the treatment penetrates deeply into the cedar, stabilizing the wood, shielding it from UV exposure, and helping it manage moisture the way cedar was designed to.

This is the kind of protection that helps cedar roofs last longer, age more predictably, and maintain a more consistent, natural appearance over time.

Where the System Comes Together

Cleaning prepares the cedar by creating a clean, receptive surface.

Preservation follows by restoring oils, stabilizing the wood, and establishing long-term protection.

When these stages work together, the result is a roof that ages more slowly, more evenly, and more predictably over time.

This is the foundation of long-term cedar roof care.

Repairs Performed Within Each Preservation Cycle

Every preservation treatment — whether it’s your first Cleaning & Preservation or a scheduled Re-Coat — includes addressing the functional items that help a cedar roof continue performing as intended.

As we move through the roof, we handle clear, practical needs when they arise — such as slipped shakes, missing shingles, minor storm movement, or related functional issues — without disturbing surrounding cedar that’s still doing its job.

Addressing these items within the preservation cycle helps maintain stability, prevent larger issues, and avoid piecemeal repair visits later.

What Our Five-Year Leak & Repair Guarantee Means for You

A properly maintained cedar roof holds real value — and it deserves dependable support.

Our Five-Year Leak & Repair Guarantee reflects that commitment. When we clean, preserve, Re-Coat, or repair a cedar roof, we stand behind the work. If the roof needs attention during the preservation cycle, we respond promptly with predictable pricing and no surprises.

This coverage isn’t an add-on.

It isn’t something homeowners buy.

It’s included because standing behind our work is part of the job.

When the time comes to sell, a roof that’s been preserved on schedule is easier to document, easier to certify, and easier for buyers to trust — with the option to upgrade to a transferable warranty if desired.

That’s the point of the guarantee: steady, predictable care that protects your cedar roof now and helps preserve its value down the road.
