Rustic Charm Meets Craftsmanship

Wood shingles and shakes have long been prized for their natural beauty, texture, and timeless appeal. At Tiley Roofing, we specialize in the installation and repair of cedar shake and wood shingle roofing systems, combining traditional techniques with modern performance standards.

We’ve installed wood roofs on everything from luxury mountain retreats to heritage homes—always with an eye on craftsmanship, structural compatibility, and compliance with Colorado’s evolving fire safety codes.

🌲 Wood Roofing Options We Offer

We install premium-grade western red cedar and treated wood systems, offering a variety of profiles and finishes:

▪️ Wood Shingles

• Machine-cut for uniform appearance

• Smooth and consistent thickness

• Refined look for traditional and Colonial-style homes

• Available in Class B or Class A fire-rated assemblies (with fire-treated material and underlayments)

▪️ Wood Shakes

• Hand-split or taper-sawn for a rustic, textured aesthetic

• Thicker and more rugged than shingles

• Ideal for mountain homes and craftsman-style architecture

• Available in heavy, medium, or light grade

⚖️ Colorado Building Codes & Wood Roof Restrictions

In Colorado—particularly in wildland-urban interface (WUI) zones—there are strict regulations concerning wood roofing due to wildfire risks.

Important Fire Code Considerations:

• Most counties (including Boulder, Jefferson, El Paso, and Summit) now prohibit untreated wood roofing on new construction or re-roofs

• Many municipalities require Class A fire-rated systems, which can be achieved using:

  • Fire-treated shakes

  • Fire-retardant underlayments (like DensDeck or VersaShield)

  • Overlay systems that combine wood aesthetics with synthetic or composite fireproofing

✅ Tiley Roofing is fully up to date on these regulations and will help you choose a wood or wood-alternative roof that meets your local building codes, HOA requirements, and design goals.

🛠️ Historic Restoration & Custom Installation

We are often selected for historic restoration projects, high-end custom homes, and aesthetic-focused builds due to our:

✔ Skilled wood installation crews with detail-focused techniques
✔ Custom flashing, valley, and edge detailing from our metal shop
✔ Integration of snow guards, gutters, and ice dam protection
✔ Structural assessment for weight distribution and ventilation
✔ Partnerships with architects and preservation boards

🔧 Wood Roofing Alternatives (When Code Prohibits Real Wood)

We also offer composite shake and synthetic wood roofing systems that replicate the look of real wood while meeting Class A fire code requirements. These include products from:

• Brava Roof Tile

• CeDUR

• Enviroshake

• DaVinci Roofscapes

These systems offer realistic textures with increased lifespan, lower maintenance, and compliance with wildfire mitigation laws.
