Composite & Shake-Style Roofing in Mesa, AZ

Composite & Shake-Style Roofing Mesa homeowners choose gives a home the look of wood shake without the same upkeep. WPD Roofing helps Mesa, AZ property owners look at this option, compare it to other roof types, and decide if it fits their home. Mesa roofs deal with hard sun, high heat, and the occasional monsoon storm, so the material you pick matters.

What Composite & Shake-Style Roofing Involves

Composite and shake-style roofing is made to look like natural wood shake or slate. The pieces are made from engineered materials instead of real wood. That means the roof can have a rich, textured look while being built to handle weather and wear. The work usually starts with a look at your current roof and roof deck. Old material is removed if needed, the deck is checked, and the new roofing is installed in layers that shed water. Details like flashing, edges, and vents matter just as much as the visible shake-style pieces. If your home has attic ventilation concerns, those can be looked at at the same time, since airflow affects how a roof ages in a hot climate.

  • Want to compare shake-style options with tile, shingle, or metal roofs
  • Are building or remodeling and picking a new roof material
