Hi! Great video, thanks! I have a question… I am in the PNW and am planning to build shake awnings over my doors, can I get away with it because it’s not a whole roof and the pitch is different? Or are shake shingle just not good for anything in the PNW?

What is the recommended “to the weather” exposure for 3’ handsplits in extreme wind locations??

I have been searching for a video on how to repair the underlayment in a specific spot on my shake roof. the boards that cross under the underlayment are in great shape but one of them over my garage had a large knot hole in it and I stepped right on it, it broke the board at the knot hole and punctured the underlayment enough that it leaks in heavy rain and when snow sets on that spot in the winter. so far i am having zero luck. it seems obvious to me but also, sometimes things that seem obvious to me are a huge mistake waiting to happen. LOL I can get to the underneath part easy and the part on top but I am still unsure how to go about this as the board is broken and teh underlayment is pushed to the point of the tear, its about a 6 inch tear. I am still searching

What is the best way to clean cedar shakes once they start looking very gray and forming what looks like a dirt on the tips of them?

Many of the installation procedures displayed in this video are incorrect and will result in premature failure of the roofing system.

The asphalt roofing paper is not supposed to be exposed to the sun or the weather. You show this new shake roof with the black asphalt felt paper seen between the side gaps. . This is incorrect. This felt will deteriorate in just a few months if not by the end of the first year.
