Custom Cedar Shake & Wood Shingle Roofing in Cloquet, MN
Cloquet’s location along the St. Louis River near Jay Cooke State Park, surrounded by dense forest, creates a natural visual pairing with cedar shake and wood shingle roofing that few other materials can match. Beyond aesthetics, cedar’s natural resistance to rot and decay is a real asset here, where heavy tree cover keeps moisture sitting on rooftops longer than open areas, and homes near the historic mill district benefit from a roofing material built to handle sustained shade and moisture exposure.
Perrins Roofing installs hand split cedar shakes and taper sawn wood shingles built for Cloquet’s forested, moisture heavy climate. Whether your home sits near the historic mill district or closer to Jay Cooke State Park, we install a cedar system built for lasting performance.

Hand split cedar shakes offer a thick, textured profile that absorbs impact from falling branches and debris common in Cloquet’s forested setting. Native organic compounds in the wood grain resist rot and decay, a critical quality given the prolonged moisture exposure that comes with heavy tree cover.
Taper sawn wood shingles bring architectural precision to homes throughout Cloquet’s historic mill district. Smooth sawn on both sides, these shingles optimize water runoff completely, an especially important quality where prolonged shade slows natural drying and increases moisture exposure at the roof surface.
Cedar’s natural air pockets provide insulation value that helps Cloquet homeowners manage seasonal cold beneath the area’s dense tree cover. This natural barrier keeps heated air locked inside during winter while blocking summer heat, lowering utility costs throughout the year.
