Looking for cedar shake roofing in Charlotte to elevate your home with natural, architectural character? Our team installs these premium systems across the Charlotte metro this fall using manufacturer-approved methods and our robust workmanship warranty.
We begin every project for cedar shake roofing in Charlotte with a thorough assessment of the existing structure. Our team walks the entire roof surface to document conditions through high-resolution photography and detailed notes. We provide a clear explanation of our findings to ensure the structural integrity and aesthetic goals are fully understood before we recommend a specific course of action.
Our installation process follows strict manufacturer system specifications to ensure long-term performance and beauty. We select premium materials from specialty manufacturers such as Waldun or Watkins to provide the highest quality wood shakes available. Once the materials arrive, our crews install each course with precision, integrating proper flashing and ventilation components, followed by a meticulous cleanup of the entire property.
Fall weather in the Charlotte area brings specific challenges for natural wood materials due to increased moisture and debris from surrounding trees. For example, fallen leaves that collect in roof valleys can trap moisture against the shakes and lead to premature decay if not addressed. We design our installations to manage these seasonal shifts, backed by our robust workmanship warranty and comprehensive manufacturer material warranties.

Will came over to look at the roof and especially a soft spot that was leaking. He provided a full report on the roof and spot with pictures as well as quotes to repair the spot and replace everything. The pricing was extremely fair and less than other quotes I’d received in the past. We...

After talking to several roofing companies, it became obvious that very few actually knew how to work on a slate roof. From my first conversation with this company, I could tell they were different. They were knowledgeable, honest, and took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done without trying to upsell...

I’ve recommended Manchester Roofing without hesitation to friends and business owners, and they’ve taken great care of everyone I’ve sent their way.

Selecting cedar shake roofing in Charlotte requires a commitment to materials that define the most distinctive homes in the region. We specialize in the installation of systems that are not available through standard retail chains, focusing instead on architectural grade slate, copper, cedar shake, standing seam metal, and tile. These roofs are engineered as permanent assets designed to outlast the structures they protect.
Every installation follows the rigorous technical specifications required for a true manufacturer system. We integrate the correct underlayment, flashing, fasteners, and ventilation components exactly as specified by manufacturers like CertainTeed for asphalt shingle or our specialized suppliers for slate and cedar shake. This technical precision creates the vital distinction between a simple roof covering and a fully integrated roofing system.
Our projects carry a robust workmanship warranty alongside applicable manufacturer material warranties to ensure long-term performance. As the autumn season brings increased moisture and debris to the Charlotte area, the integrity of a cedar shake system becomes paramount for proper drainage and wood preservation. We do not chase high volume or submit bids without a comprehensive spec sheet, maintaining a standard that prioritizes architectural excellence over speed.
I started Manchester in 2021 because I wanted to build the kind of roofer I'd hire myself. Most of my early career was spent watching contractors mix-and-match materials, skip steps in the manufacturer system, and walk away when the warranty wouldn't honor the install. That isn't roofing. That's a transaction.
We do it differently. Every roof we install is built to true manufacturer system spec. Every project is staffed with crews trained on the materials they're handling. Every warranty we issue is one we plan to be around to honor.
We're not the cheapest call you'll make. We're the one you only have to make once.
We provide warranty-backed cedar shake roofing in Charlotte and the surrounding metro to protect upscale residences in Myers Park, Eastover, and Foxcroft against the heavy rainfall and wind typical of the autumn season.

“Will came over to look at the roof and especially a soft spot that was leaking. He provided a full report on the roof and spot with pictures as well as quotes to repair the spot and replace everything. The pricing was extremely fair and less than other quotes I’d received in the past. We ended up going with the repair for now, which the crew knocked out in just half a day. We’ll definitely be getting Will and his team back for the full replacement when we are ready. 10/10”
