Cedar Shake Siding

Traditionally, cedar shakes were used on Cape Cod style cottages introduced in the 1700s. In modern times, shakes and scallops can be used on any style of home to give it a classic historical appearance. Adding shakes or scallops to your gables, window boxes, or eave edges will help your home stand out from the rest in your neighborhood and give it a cozy feel. If you live in the Des Moines area, contact the experts at Farm and Home Builders to check out premium shakes and scallops siding for your home.

What Are Shakes and Scallops Made Of?

Our teams of installers at Farm & Home Builders use Preservation shakes & scallops. These panels are crafted from real cedar to enhance performance and to give your home that authentic feel. Preservation uses only historically accurate patterns and dimensions found frequently on century-old Victorian homes. It is not only visually appealing but also quite durable due to its construction from natural cedarwood. It can withstand some of the harshest weather the midwest has to offer. This siding won’t:

• Crack
• Warp
• Rot
• Split

like traditional wood products. It also doesn’t have to be painted and comes in a variety of colors to fit your needs. All you have to do is rinse occasionally to prevent dirt buildup.
