Old Cabins, Wood Shake, & Fire Liability
Kings Beach has a high concentration of older cabins with wood shake roofs, and those roofs are the single biggest fire risk on the North Shore. A wood shake roof in a wildland-urban interface is an ember magnet, and most insurers in the basin won't write a policy on one anymore — or they'll price it like they don't want your business. We've made a specialty of these shake replacements. The move is synthetic fire-safe shake: it's a Class A fire-rated composite that looks like real cedar, takes the high-altitude UV, and carries a Class 4 impact rating for hail. You keep the cabin aesthetic, you lose the fire liability, and your insurance company is happy. It's one of the highest-ROI upgrades we do in Kings Beach.
