What to know about Cedar roofing
A cedar roof is a set of small wooden boards arranged to shed water and then dry out again, and everything about how long it lasts follows from that second half. Western red cedar dominates the modern market, with eastern white pine and white oak still used on historic work, and the product splits into two families: shingles, which are sawn, and shakes, which are split. The National Park Service notes that manufacturers define shakes as split products while shingles refer to sawn products, and that shingle is the historic term for wooden roofing regardless of how it was made.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Roof size and the number of layers to remove
- Roofing material
- Slope and how steep the roof is to work on
- Access to the roof and the site
- Condition of the decking underneath
- Flashing, vents, skylights and chimneys to work around
- Amount of repair work compared with a full replacement
How to choose roofers in Ann Arbor
- Ask for a written quote that lists the materials, the scope of work and what happens if damaged decking is found once the old roof is off.
- Look for a roofer who inspects the roof in person, including the attic if possible, before giving you a price.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, since roof work is high-risk.
- Compare quotes on the same scope: tear-off or overlay, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup.
- Ask to see recent roofs they've done that are similar to yours in material and slope.
Questions to ask roofers before you hire
- Will you remove the old roofing or install over it, and why?
- How will you handle damaged decking or other surprises once the roof is open?
- Who will pull the permit if one is needed?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and how long does it last?
- How will you protect my yard, gutters and siding, and how will you clean up nails and debris?
- Will your own crew do the work, or will you use subcontractors?
Cedar roofing permits in Michigan
Some cedar roofing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Michigan
Consumer protection
Check any Michigan builder, electrician, plumber or mechanical contractor by name, business name or licence number in the state's licensee search before you sign anything. The bureau also investigates consumer complaints against the people and businesses it licenses, so there is somewhere to take a problem.
