Goat Lake Forest Products has been beautifying its customer's homes since 1979. Goat Lake's shakes and shingles are cut from Western red cedar, the most durable of wood species. Western red cedar contains natural oils that prevent decay, so cedar shakes and shingles are a great choice for a lasting investment. Typical roofing warranties are between 20 and 50 years.

Shakes and shingles are also environmentally responsible. Nearly a 100% of logging production goes either into lumber, shakes and shingles or provides the fuel to run the mills that make those products. Wood is the only major building product that is renewable.
After harvest, logs are barged to the mill, where they are graded and selected for shakes (taper-sawn, hand-split or resawn) or shingle. To learn more about the harvesting process, from forest to roof, see the process page.
