Tips and Tricks for Cedar Shake
Cedar shakes can increase the aesthetic of your home's exterior, but only when they are properly maintained and flow with the rest of the exterior features. Not sure if the shake on your home adds or takes away from the value? Here's some tips for how to ensure the former.
On this stunning Kingsway home, the cedar shake was in need of some maintenance. While the natural look of the shake suited the original colour scheme of the home, an updated look needed a different take on the cedar shake.
With this solid stained cedar shake, the texture of the shake continues to add dimension while allowing it to contrast the stunning stone featured across the body of the home. Using Sherwin Williams Iron Ore on both the trims and cedar shake was a perfect avenue to modernize the exterior.
The cedar shake on this stunning Muskoka cottage was also in need of some maintenance. However, contrary to the Kingsway home, the natural aesthetic of the cedar shake perfectly suits this cottage surrounded by the towering trees around Lake Joe. A power wash and cedar-toned stain were exactly what this cottage needed to update the cedar shake while maintaining the original character.
