What is Shake and Shingle Siding?
Shake and shingle siding brings warmth, texture, and timeless craftsmanship to homes across the Inland Northwest. Inspired by traditional cedar designs, this style features individually cut pieces that create rich shadows and a handcrafted feel. Shakes are typically thicker and more rugged, while shingles are smoother and more uniform, offering different looks to suit any home’s character. Today, homeowners can choose from natural wood, fiber cement, or polymer options, each built to resist weather and hold color beautifully through every season.
Why do we use it?
Shake and shingle siding adds depth, charm, and personality that few materials can match. It’s often used to highlight gables, dormers, or entryways, but it also works beautifully as full-home siding for a cozy, high-end finish. In the Inland Northwest, it fits perfectly among forest backdrops, mountain views, and lakeside settings.
Homeowners love shake and shingle siding because it:
- Brings natural texture and visual warmth to any exterior.
- Provides strong insulation, helping homes stay comfortable year-round.
- Comes in multiple profiles and cuts, from rustic split shakes to refined uniform shingles.
- Performs well in damp or cold climates when properly installed and sealed.
- Pairs seamlessly with lap or board and batten for a custom design.
- Offers low-maintenance alternatives with modern engineered materials.
For homeowners who value character and craftsmanship, shake and shingle siding delivers an authentic Northwest look that never goes out of style.
