Roof
6) Some wood shakes are slightly damaged and/or deteriorated. Over time, wood shakes typically curl, split, rot at the ends, "burn through", and/or become loose. Such failures typically result in exposed felt and/or possibly leaks. A qualified roofing contractor could evaluate and replace shakes as necessary and should clean the wood shake roof as necessary, and apply a preservative soon and every three to five years in the future.
