Shakes and shingles should be fasten with a maximum of 2 fasteners. Only using one fastener makes curling on shingles easier than it already is. Moisture also contributes to curling, expanding, and contracting of the shingles. Curling on the shingles also allows more moisture to enter the house.
Shakes and shingles are very important to roof work. They contribute to moisture entering the house. Maintenence is very important also shingles should be pressure wash when cleaned. Shakes and shingles should be installed using interlayment, helps with the life span of the shingles. Wood shingles is just one type. Every type of shingle has its own way to be treated.
This is a close up under an overhang on a barn roof. This section of roof from the ground showed concerns of moisture being trapped in that the color of the wood shingles were much darker. The roof design is sending a lot of water down a valley to this location. Once close my concern was varafied. The shingles are damp and have signs of growth on them. In this particular inspection the rest of roof is dry and we have not had rain in several days just mostly sun. The shingles are in fairly ok condition except as you can see the small hole flaw at the seem which appears was like this since the start.
Living in Florida, I have never inspected a wood roof but saw a lot of them while I was in Colorado for training. Between this class and the house of horrors training I received, I now feel much more comfortable with the topic and inspecting them in the future.
The article I researched was “Wood Decay” by Nick Gromicko and Kenton Shepard. In the article it talks about what causes wood decay, types of wood decay, and how to prevent it from happening. In a humid climate like Florida, we see many occasions where wood decay does a lot of damage to a home and the article does a good job of giving the inspector a greater knowledge of what they would be looking at when inspecting it.
Material Defects Defined for Home Inspectors. Possibilities of countless material defects in every home inspection exist. As an Inspector saying it as it is without adding to the possibility or subtracting from the real can keep you in check. Let the photo speak most of the words. Fill your definition of whats going on in the photo by being direct without question but not over assuming. Discover, report, direct and let the qualified contractor of that field go into further details of how, when, why, and cost relations.
it’s common to see split on olderwood shakes, if the conditions are not widespread or the split is not within 1 1/2 of the gap between lower course, it should only be considered age related wear and tear, in most cases.
when I see one nail loose on the wood shingle roof, I can almost certain there are a lot more nails being pulled loose on the shingles as it’s much easier for nails on wood roof to come loose than asphalt shingles
I NH it is rare to see wood shake or wood shingle roofs. I am sure our weather, with many freeze thaw cycles, makes wood a less effective choice. I have seen asphalt shingles over older wood shakes. This is an inappropriate installation and will void the warranty of the asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles should be installed over a solid surface. This roof should be redone.
Wood shakes roofs require proper installation, good wood, and lots of maintenance. They are more susceptible to mold, rot, insect damage, UV degradation, and erosion. Wood is not fire resistive.
There are many new roofing products, including metal roofs that look like wood shakes. Real wood shakes would be my last choice or recommendation for a long lasting roof.
Cracking, cupping, missing shingles and organic growth are common defects endemic with wood shingle roof systems. Viewing/inspecting wood shingle roofs from ladders and elevated locations is the safest method to inspect this style of roofing. Recommending procurement of pest inspection is always a great idea.
Wood shingle roofs can provide added insulation and ventilation. However, this roofing material requires additional maintenance and care. Including adding additional fire protection. Fire retardation that is integral in the chosen material is preferred to surface applied products. The best wood to use for shingle is heartwood from large old growth cedar trees.

Be very careful walking wood roofs. They may be unsafe and damage may occur from stepping on these roofs. Look for splitting shingles. Moss and other organic growth on these roofs need to be addressed. Wood roofs often last between 20 and 60 years.

Shakes and shingles come in three grain exposures; edgegrain, flatgrain and slashgrain. The quality is different and you can recognize them by the appearance of the grain. Edgegrain shakes and shingles have tight, straight grain. Flatgrain shakes and shingles have heartwood visible on the face. Slashgrain shakes and shingles have wavy grain.
Grain exposure is determined by the part of the log from which the shake or shingle is cut. Grain exposure is important because it has a large influence on the stability of the shake or shingle. By stability, I mean how likely it is to check, split, erode or suffer distortion like curling and cupping.
Edgegrain and flatgrain are the most common types of shingles although its not unusual to find some flatgrain shingles in a roof which has mostly edgegrain.
Wood roofs Most wood shakes and shingles commercially available today are made from Western Red Cedar, and to a lesser extent, Southern Pine. You may also see them made from any one of a wide variety of local wood species. Whatever species is used should be durable, meaning resistant to decay and to splitting from moisture cycling… and it should resist splitting when its nailed. When a local wood species has been used, it may be difficult or expensive to get matching shakes or shingles for repairs.
Some wood species have been used that will not resist decay well and shakes and shingles made from those will fail prematurely compared to those made from more durable wood species.
