For homeowners who prefer a more natural or rustic roof, wood shingles or shakes are recommended. Machine-sawed from southern pine, cedar, or redwood, wood shingles are great on log homes while wood shakes, with their irregular edges, add a contemporary look to a roof.

Wood shingles and shakes, however, require factory treatment to make them fire-resistant. Untreated wood shingles and shakes may not be permitted in some areas of the country.
