A CLC Roofing Client's New Wood Shake Roof
An attractive and unique roof can add value to your home’s drive up appeal. That is one of key reasons that consumers consider wood shake shingles for their roof. However, it is important that you understand the pros and cons of using wood shake when planning your roof purchase.
The pros of Wood Shake Shingles are listed below:
- Unique and Attractive: Because wood varies in color and thickness, there are a variety of ways that your roof can stand out with wood shakes. Depending on the pattern used on the roof and thickness of shingles, a wood shake roof can be one of the most unique features of your home.
- Energy Efficient: Wood shingles allow a house to breathe by allowing air circulation beneath the shingles while still providing proper insulation. A properly installed wood shake roof should allow air flow in and out of the house letting fresh air in and toxins out while keeping your energy bills low.
- Eco-Friendly: Wood shakes are biodegradable and when the time comes to replace shingles or the roof, you can rest assured that you aren’t filling landfills with roofing materials that will sit there for years. In addition, there are recyclable shingles on the market giving you additional options in making a “green choice.”
- Long Lasting: With proper maintenance, your wood shake roof should last many years. Frequent roof checks are an important part of this maintenance and a service that CLC Roofing is happy to provide.
- Fire Retardant: Certain wood shake shingles are pressure treated to meet the National Fire Safety Standards. By using these shingles, your roof and home could be spared extensive damage in the tragic case of a house fire.
A Properly Installed Wood Shake Project by CLC Roofing
There are some cons to using Wood Shake Shingles that all customers should consider. Below are the two main drawbacks:
- Installation Cost: Proper installation of wood shakes takes skill and time. It is important to use a skilled roofer that will do an appropriate job and not a fly by night roofer looking to make a quick sale. CLC Roofing’s long standing reputation and list of happy consumers testifies to their ability to help you with your wood shake roofing project.
- Maintenance: As with anything worth having, a small amount of maintenance can go a long way. Wood shake shingles can be prone to wood rot, mold and insects. Regular roof checks can often catch these problems before they become larger ones. Remember that your roof is a large investment for you home, it shouldn’t be ignored.
CLC Roofing knows that a happy customer is an informed customer. If you have any questions about wood shake shingles or desire a free roof evaluation, call CLC today at 1-800-810-2510.

Hiring a contractor to work in your home can be overwhelming whether it is a roofer, a painter or even a handyman. CLC Roofing knows that you want reliable and safe people working in your home so we have complied a list of questions to help you when looking for any contractor.
- How long have you been in business? Don’t just take the contractor’s word for it. Do some detective work by looking at their business card for a physical address. Ask for two of the earliest references and follow up with these references to see if they delivered what they promised.
- Are you Licensed and Registered with the State? A reputable contractor will be licensed and registered. If you have any doubts, be sure to check with your State’s office. CLC Roofing prides themselves on being licensed and registered with the state of Texas and in the cities of Coppell and Dallas.
- Do you carry insurance? You would be surprised at the number of contractors who don’t carry the minimum amount of insurance. Ask to see their policy and educate yourself on what the minimum required is.
- Will there be a permit required for my job? Many cities require permits before work can be done on a residence. Permits generally cost an extra fee, and it is important that you are clear on what is required. Find out from the contractor how permits will be handled.
- Does your work or materials come with any warranties? Be sure that you have a clear understanding on what will void any warranties offered. Also, be sure to find out specifically what is covered and what is not. For instance, shingles may be covered but decking is not. Also find out what could void the warranty such as improper use of an appliance or improper installation or excessive wear and tear.
Stay tuned for Part Two of our post and remember you have the right to be an informed consumer. CLC Roofing will help you every step of the way. The Customer is always right at CLC Roofing!

An important aspect of any home roofing system is the amount and type of insulation in your attic. Even the best shingles can still absorb and retain heat that will seep into your home if you don’t have proper insulation. Insulation comes in many varieties from a fiberglass mat to loose fill that can be blown in the attic. Often homeowners recognize it by the “pink” stuff that gets all over their items stored in the attic.
Many homeowners mistakenly believe that the amount of insulation is the only factor in reducing their energy bills, but even if you have an attic full of insulation, if it isn’t efficient, the attic temperatures will still soar as will your energy bills. It is very important that your roofing system is evaluated as a whole by a roofing professional to determine the right insulation for your roofing needs.
CLC Roofing partners with Owens Corning when it comes to insulation and energy efficient roofing materials. Their long time partnership allows CLC to not only offer the best quality in insulation products but an extended warranty on many of the materials that Owens Corning offers.
Most importantly, CLC Roofing understand the needs for an energy efficient home and how it helps the homeowner enjoy his home more throughly. Contact CLC Roofing today for more information on making your home energy efficient and a free roof and attic check. CLC Roofing 1-800-810-2521

If you are considering putting your home on the market, don’t underestimate the importance of having your roof inspected. A quality roof in good shape can be an added bonus to your home’s value.
If your roof is in need of repair, it can create several different issues with selling. A solid roof communicates the seller’s dedication to regular home maintenance and eases the buyer’s minds that the home is well maintained. When the roof is in disrepair, the buyer might become concerned that there are hidden issues not easily found via inspection.
For instance, if there is evidence of water damage from a poorly maintained roof, the buyer could become fearful of mold and pull out of the sale. In addition, poor insulation leads to high energy bills which can be another cause for the buyer to walk. Finally, the roof might need to be replaced. It would be difficult to entice a buyer to purchase a home and then turn around and spend the additional money on a new roof.
The best solution? Have your roof inspected and repaired or replaced before placing your home on the market. Of all the improvements that you make, a new roof signifies to the buyer that you, as a homeowner, took your investment seriously, and that they are buying a home that will continue to be a good investment for them.
CLC Roofing is here to help with your roofing needs prior to your home sale.
