Custom Cedar Shake & Wood Shingle Roofing in Proctor, MN
Proctor’s hillside streets near the historic rail yards are lined with modest, closely built homes from the town’s railroad heyday, many of which originally featured wood shake or shingle roofing before decades of asphalt replacements took over. Cedar’s natural durability against Proctor’s hillside wind funneling and freeze thaw cycling makes it a smart choice for homeowners looking to restore that original character without sacrificing performance.
Perrins Roofing installs hand split cedar shakes and taper sawn wood shingles built for Proctor’s hillside terrain and historic housing stock. Whether your home sits near the rail yards or up toward Spirit Mountain, we install a cedar system built for lasting performance.

Hand split cedar shakes offer a thick, textured profile that absorbs impact from wind driven debris common to Proctor’s hillside wind funnel. Native organic compounds in the wood grain resist rot and decay, an important quality for the town’s aging housing stock and decking.
Taper sawn wood shingles bring a refined, tailored appearance that suits Proctor’s traditional residential architecture. Smooth sawn on both sides, these shingles optimize water runoff completely, preventing wind driven rain from compromising the underlayment beneath during hillside storms.
Cedar’s natural air pockets provide insulation value that helps Proctor homeowners manage the area’s freeze thaw cycling and hillside cold. This natural barrier keeps heated air locked inside during winter while blocking summer heat, reducing utility costs throughout the year.
