WOOD ROOFING
Real cedar shingles and shakes — installed by certified specialists who understand cedar’s unique requirements.
Serving Milwaukee and Surrounding Communities
Cedar shake and shingle roofs deliver unmatched architectural character. They also require an installer who understands cedar — proper ventilation, fastener selection, and underlayment make the difference between a 30+ year roof and one that fails in a decade.
Real cedar provides unique advantages no synthetic product can match — natural beauty plus proven thermal and acoustic performance.
Real cedar develops a beautiful patina over time — no two roofs ever look alike.
Wood is naturally insulating — better thermal performance than asphalt.
Properly installed cedar roofing can withstand winds up to 245 mph.
Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau roofing can last 30+ years with proper maintenance.
Hand-split with a mallet and froe for a rough, uneven, naturally-textured surface that creates deep shadow lines.

PROCESS
Most roofing companies are built around a sales pitch. We’re built around a diagnosis. Here’s how a Guardian roofing project goes from first call to finished home.
First, we evaluate the actual problems you’re trying to solve. Drafts? Leaks? Energy bills? Outdated look? A thorough inspection reveals the true cause — and sometimes the answer is that you don’t even need a new roof.
We discuss the options based on what your home actually needs. We represent every major manufacturer, so we guide you through choosing the right product — you stay in control of the choice.
Most homeowners aren’t roofing experts, and reliable info is hard to find. We answer every question and explain how each option performs. We also walk you through your rights as a Wisconsin homeowner.
Once you’re confident in your choices, we produce a detailed proposal that documents exactly what’s being done, materials used, and exactly what it costs.
Strategic partnerships with trusted financial institutions give you direct, personalized access to multiple payment and finance options.
