## Price

$800-$1,600 roofing square (100 sq ft), installed. national aggregator data ($8-$16/sq ft installed) since no Everett-specific cedar total was found in research — actual price depends heavily on original-deck condition, which is why the inspection matters more on this material than any other.

## What's included

- Assessment of the original skip-sheathing or plank decking common under pre-1939 cedar roofs
- Honest restore-vs-replace recommendation based on actual deck and shake condition, not a default to full replacement
- Cedar shake matched to Historic Overlay Zone requirements where the property sits in Rucker-Grand, Norton-Grand, or Riverside
- Fire-treatment options where relevant to insurance or code
- New underlayment and flashing appropriate to a shake roof's ventilation needs
- Full cleanup and haul-away

## Process

01. **Free inspection** - We assess the original deck type (often skip-sheathing on pre-1939 homes) and the actual condition of the existing shake before recommending restore or replace.
02. **Historic-zone check** - For Rucker-Grand, Norton-Grand, or Riverside properties, we confirm the design-review requirement before ordering material.
03. **Restore or re-roof** - Individual shake replacement and treatment for a restoration, or full tear-off and re-roof with deck repair where the original decking can't be reused.
04. **Final walkthrough** - Cleanup and a walkthrough of the finished roof before we leave.

## When it's needed

- Original cedar shake roof on a pre-1939 Riverside, Bayside, or North Everett home
- Individual shakes cupping, splitting, or missing
- Uncertainty about whether the original roof deck is still sound
- Considering a material change on a historic-overlay property
- Moss or algae buildup between shake courses

## FAQ

**Can an original cedar shake roof be restored instead of replaced?**

Sometimes — see our dedicated restore-vs-replace guide. It depends on how much of the original shake and deck are still structurally sound, which is why we assess it in person rather than defaulting to a full tear-off.

**What's under a century-old cedar shake roof in Riverside or North Everett?**

Often skip-sheathing (spaced boards, not solid plywood decking) built for ventilation under wood shake. It changes how a re-roof or repair has to be approached — see our dedicated guide on century-home roof-deck conditions.

**Does a historic overlay zone affect what I can install?**

Yes, for properties in Rucker-Grand, Norton-Grand, or Riverside — design review can affect material and profile choice. We check this before ordering.
