I had a home previously with true cedar shakes and I felt it was a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I agree. They don't look 100% like the real thing but I like the tradeoff for maintenance reasons. I think they look pretty darn good. Years ago they looks awful. I am all for maintenance free anything now.
