Frequently Asked Questions

Are wood shake roofs allowed in Placerville?

Real wood shake is restricted in many Sacramento-area fire hazard zones and most HOAs now prohibit it. Synthetic shake (Brava and CeDUR) gives you the same look with a Class A fire rating, 50-year warranty, and full HOA acceptance.

How much does synthetic shake cost vs real shake?

Real cedar shake runs $11–$15 per square foot installed but lasts 20–30 years. Synthetic shake (Brava/CeDUR) runs $14–$20 per square foot but lasts 50+ years with no rot, no insects, and Class A fire rating — a better lifetime value in Placerville.

Will synthetic shake actually look like real wood?

Yes — the latest generation of Brava and CeDUR synthetic shakes are molded from real cedar, with multi-color blending and varied thicknesses. From the curb most people cannot tell the difference.
