Pre-Dipped Cedar Shingles
Some homes are simply too extraordinary for traditional roofing solutions. When you own a home that is unique and that deserves the very best in its every feature, consider the remarkable beauty and plentiful benefits you get with pre-stained cedar shingles.
Pre-dipped cedar shingles can make a beautiful home come alive by complementing existing architecture and helping to enhance curb appeal. But the success of pre-stained cedar shakes and shingles is dependent on the quality of material used and the expertise of the service providers doing the installation. When you can find the right materials and the right team for installation, a roof made of pre-stained cedar shingles can make a dramatic impact for decades to come.
At Custom Shingles, we excel in the manufacturing and installation of pre-stained cedar shingles and shakes. While some roofing companies may suggest that they can handle the installation of a roof made of pre-dipped cedar shingles, this is the type of work that we’ve built a business on at Custom Shingles. We understand these projects inside and out — and no one can deliver results with prestained cedar shingles better than we can.
The Benefits of Pre-Dipped Cedar Shingles
What exactly are the benefits of choosing pre-stained cedar shingles for your home? Pre-stained cedar shakes and shingles are entirely covered with a seal that helps preserve the wood, extending its lifespan while also limiting the amount of maintenance it requires. When you apply stain after the roof is already installed, you only enjoy protection on the exposed portion of the shingles or shakes.
Our approach is different. We purposely choose pre-stained cedar shingles because it provides protection for the entire shingles and therefore the entire roof — both what is exposed and what is not. The result is a roof that lasts longer and is much more durable than it would have been otherwise. As an added benefit, choosing pre-stained cedar shingles allow you to choose a color blend or a solid color for your roof — whatever will look best at your unique property.
Semi-Solid Stained Vs. Solid Stained Shingles
Depending on the style you would prefer to have, all colors can come as either semi-stained or solid stained shingles. Semi-stained allows some of the wood grain to show through, and has some slight color variations that add texture and depth. The solid completely hides the grain, giving the roof or siding a smoother look:

Pre-Stained Cedar Shingles vs. Other Roofing Materials
There are plenty of reasons why pre-stained cedar shingles are superior to more commonly used roofing materials. First, you can’t match the attractiveness of a pre-stained cedar shingle roof. The cedar provides a naturally attractive appearance, and the opportunity to stain your shingles allows you to put your own impression on their look and feel. Pre-stained cedar shingles are the result of careful design and attention to detail — and that care really shines through in their final appearance once installed on your roof.
Also, pre-stained shingles deliver incredible durability. Cedar is already a far more durable material than traditional roofing components, and the sealant that fully covers pre-stained cedar shingles makes them even more long-lasting. You may pay a little more upfront on the price of pre-stained shingles, but the long-term value can’t be beat.
Is Your Home Right for Prefinished Shingles?
Pre-dipped cedar shingles look fantastic on a wide array of different homes and various home styles. Era-appropriate homes often work best with pre-stained cedar shingles. You may find that pre-painted cedar shingles work for you if you live in a Nantucket-style home, a coastal-inspired home or even a New England shingle home. In each case, your home’s unique architecture will help the pre-dipped cedar shingles fully realize their potential. When you combine your home’s innate characteristics with the many benefits of pre-stained cedar shingles, your home’s attractiveness reaches its peak.
