CEDAR SHAKE WARNING

Cedar shakes are EXTREMELY VULNERABLE to damage from improper moss removal. Victoria has hundreds of ruined cedar roofs from contractors using:

  • ❌ Pressure washing - DESTROYS wood fibers, creates water intrusion, voids warranties
  • ❌ Wire brushes - SHREDS cedar surface, removes protective grain, accelerates rot
  • ❌ Harsh chemicals - BREAKS DOWN natural oils, dries out wood, causes splitting
  • ❌ Scraping/shoveling - GOUGES shakes, creates leak pathways, structural damage

Roof Labs uses ZERO-CONTACT molecular treatment that preserves cedar integrity.

WHY CEDAR SHAKES NEED SPECIAL CARE

Porous Wood Structure

The Challenge

Cedar is highly porous and absorbs moisture easily. Moss roots penetrate DEEP into wood grain, making removal challenging without damage.

Our Solution

Molecular treatment penetrates wood matrix to kill moss at root level without physical contact or fiber damage.

Natural Oil Content

The Challenge

Cedar's natural oils provide weather resistance. Harsh chemicals strip these protective oils, leaving wood vulnerable to UV and moisture damage.

Our Solution

pH-balanced formula preserves cedar's natural oils while eliminating moss. Wood protection maintained.

Heritage Value

The Challenge

Many Victoria homes have 40-80 year old original cedar shakes. Heritage buildings require preservation-focused treatment to maintain character.

Our Solution

Gentle molecular approach safe for historic cedar. Used on heritage homes across Greater Victoria without damage.
