Why Timber Pro: Shake and Shingle Protector

Why Timber Pro: Shake and Shingle Protector

Your cedar roof is constantly exposed to sun, rain, moisture, and changing temperatures. Over time, this exposure dries out the wood, causes natural oils to fade, and accelerates aging. That’s why South-West Roof Restoration uses Timber Pro® Shake & Shingle Protector — a premium treatment designed to restore, protect, and extend the life of cedar roofs.

Timber Pro® helps keep your roof looking beautiful while providing long-term protection against weathering, moss growth, and premature deterioration.

Replenishes Natural Oils & Restores Beauty

Cedar shakes and shingles naturally contain protective oils that help preserve flexibility, strength, and appearance. As the roof ages, those oils gradually dry out due to UV exposure and weather conditions.

Timber Pro® replenishes these lost oils, helping your roof:

  • Restore its rich, natural appearance
  • Reduce dryness and brittleness
  • Maintain flexibility and durability
  • Look cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant

The result is a cedar roof that looks refreshed and well-maintained instead of faded and weathered.

Helps Slow Down Moss, Algae & Organic Growth

Moss, algae, and lichen thrive in damp West Coast conditions and can quickly damage cedar roofing if left untreated.

Timber Pro® helps slow moss growth by reducing moisture retention and protecting the wood surface. This helps:

  • Reduce moss buildup
  • Prevent excess moisture damage
  • Keep your roof cleaner for longer
  • Lower long-term maintenance costs

By protecting against organic growth, your roof maintains both its appearance and structural integrity.

Extends the Life of Your Cedar Roof

One of the biggest benefits of Timber Pro® is its ability to help extend roof life significantly.

The treatment creates a breathable protective barrier that:

  • Helps resist water penetration
  • Protects against UV damage
  • Reduces splitting, cracking, and curling
  • Slows down premature aging and decay

With proper maintenance and treatment, many cedar roofs can gain years of additional life — often delaying expensive roof replacement costs.
