Shakes are a type of shingle made from split wood. Traditional shakes have a more rustic or natural look to them than a standard shingle siding because they are more grooved and have less uniformity in shape and size. Traditionally, they cost a bit less than shingles and will last longer because they are often split to be thicker in width.
