Love Cedar Shake Style But Worried About Fire Risk and Maintenance?

Traditional cedar shake roofing creates a beautiful, rustic appearance that perfectly complements Branson's natural setting and lakefront properties. But real cedar comes with serious drawbacks that make it impractical and potentially dangerous for Missouri homeowners.



Natural cedar shake requires constant maintenance, attracts insects, splits and cracks in weather extremes, and creates significant fire hazard concerns - especially during Missouri's dry periods. Insurance companies often charge higher premiums or refuse coverage entirely for homes with cedar shake roofs due to fire risk.


Brava synthetic cedar shake eliminates every problem of natural cedar while providing identical aesthetic appeal. You get the classic cedar look with Class A fire rating, zero maintenance, 50+ year lifespan, and full insurance coverage approval.


Your family deserves the cedar shake beauty you want without compromising safety, insurance coverage, or spending weekends on roof maintenance. Synthetic cedar shake technology makes this possible.
