Shake or metal?
Both suit a mountain home. Shake has the look many of these houses were designed for; metal sheds snow faster and needs less upkeep. If you're deciding, we'll walk the roof and give you numbers for both. See metal and copper roofing.
Cedar shake is the roof a lot of Big Sky and canyon homes were designed around. It's a slower, more detailed install than shingle, and on the big, cut-up rooflines of a mountain estate the valleys, hips and chimney details are most of the job.
We pair shake with copper often: soldered copper valleys, copper flashing at stone chimneys and copper gutters, which outlast the shake around them.

It depends heavily on the shake grade, the install, ventilation and how much shade and moisture the roof sees. Good detailing at the valleys and chimneys matters as much as the shake itself.
Yes. Split and missing shakes, failed valleys and chimney flashing.
Yes. A lot of our shake work is in Big Sky and up the Gallatin Canyon. We schedule it in blocks so the crew isn't losing half a day driving.
Call or send the details. Sam gets back to you, usually the same day.
