The wood roofing products of the JB General Construction include shakes and shingles. With a shake or shingle roof, you will add not only beauty to your home but also value. Roofs are durable and attractive! Choose from Heavy Split & Resawn, Medium Split & Resaw, and Tapersawn. Wood shake roofing is made from split logs and are used to cover the top of a house.  It offers a natural look with a lot of character because of variations like color, width, thickness, or cut of the wood. No two wood shake roofing will ever be the same. Wood shake roofing helps to insulate the attic and allows the house to breathe and also help to circulate air through the small openings under the felt rows on which wooden shakes are laid.

Many wood shakes and shingles have been replaced by composition or asphalt shingles. Nevertheless, wood shakes and shingles are still widely used on both commercial structures and residential housing. There are basically three different types of wood roofing products which include hand-split shakes, taper-sawn shakes and wood shingles. Most of them are made from the western red cedar tree and occasionally southern pine.
