Providing Quality since 1979

Shakes and Shingles Add Timeless Beauty

Any home is improved with western red cedar shakes and shingles, the most environmentally friendly roofing option on the market!  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.

• red cedar has a high resistance to thermal loss, so it keeps your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter
• since air is allowed to flow freely around the wood, mold growth is prevented
• shakes & shingles can have a preservative treatment that extends the natural durability 2-3X
• a properly installed and maintained cedar product roof can last from 20-50 years
• wood is highly resilient in earthquakes
• shakes and shingles provide low energy cost and high insulation value
• fire retardant product available
• wood roofing survives hurricane force winds
• wood is a renewable resource

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.
