I install cedar shakes about once a year for high end customers in California. We have to use the fire retardant shakes and underlayment. They look so beautiful when new but double the cost of comp shingles. I also enjoy installing them nothing like the smell of cedar in the morning!
It’s a niche market, high end homes and specific areas that want to keep that look. It’s not for your typical cookie cutter neighborhoods. It’s high end high dollar 💵 product for the wealthy designer homes

Love the color of cedar, specially when it turns silver, it's just awesome.

Cedar shake and shingle bureau! Say that fast 💨
Cedar helps keep your house cooler than shingles. Note that point!
I think cedar just makes better siding, it's great siding but wood just can't handle constant soaking water cycles
Good point. But we still build our saunas with cedar… just a thought
Is all about price
Rich people use cedar
Meddle class use asphalt roof
Cedar guy is drunk on his own supply.
Cedar looks great new, but the fire retardent does wear off. I'd opt for a higher fire rated product.
Couldn’t you spray apply a fire retardant after several years? Spray wash first? A lot of work but might be worth it.
