Fancy Cutt™ Shingles
Wooden shingles and shakes play an important role in the curb appeal of any property. If you’ve made the choice to opt for real wood products over conventional asphalt or fiberglass, you know this already. Why not take your design to the next level by choosing decorative shingles from the Fancy-Cutt™ line of products by Custom Shingles?
Your choice of material is only one consideration when shopping for shingles and shakes. The Fancy-Cutt™ product line includes several pre-cut profiles to match any aesthetic or historical requirement. Our most popular profiles are diamond, fish scale, half-round, arrow, sawtooth, dragon's tooth, octagonal and wavy. You can see for yourself what these various choices look like in real-world applications by visiting our online Portfolio Gallery.
Custom Shingles’ Fancy-Cutt™ products include:
Western Red, Alaskan Yellow or Eastern White Cedar shingles. We can provide shingles up to 48”, though in most cases 16”, 18” or 24” sizing is easiest to work with and most economical.
Teak shingles, custom cut to your project. Teak is a luxury product, and a prized hardwood with a tight grain, excellent durability and superior, extreme resistance to wind and weather. Most Teak Fancy-Cutt™ shingles we manufacture are 16” or 18” long.
Wallaba shingles, generally in 18” lengths. Wallaba is grown abundantly in South America and offers all the benefits of Teak, plus an attractive and rich red color that matures to silver over time.
Composite shingles made primarily from recycled materials. Composite shingles are the roofing product of choice when local building codes or fire regulations prohibit the use of wood. Our composite Fancy-Cutt™ shingles are virtually indistinguishable from Cedar and offer superior resistance to fungus and rot.

Different Types of Cut
As you might have guessed, Fancy-Cutt™ is just a category that includes different types of shingle cuts. While there are almost limitless styles and designs, here’s a look at three of our most popular patterns:
Sawtooth: Shingles used to create sawtooth patterns often have pointed ends (and the sawtooth effect is created when installed next to other point-ended shingles), or via shingles that have several teeth cut into the end, so that the sawtooth effect is inherent. Custom sawtooth cedar shingles are among the most popular designs.
Half-Round: Custom half-round cedar shingles are fully rounded with no corners on the exposed end. They appear like individual droplets of rain that are just about to fall. The half-round pattern is one of the most popular, and it's also one that's more likely to work with different styles of architecture than something as dramatic as the sawtooth pattern.
Fish-Scale: Custom fish-scale cedar shingles are close cousins to the half-round. Fish-scale shingles are similarly rounded at the ends, but they aren't as dramatically rounded — and they curve into corners that then extend into straight lines at the installation point. Custom cedar fish-scale shingles are a great way to go if you like the idea of rounded shingles but don’t want the effect to be too dramatic.
This is just a sampling of the patterns and designs we work with. You can also choose custom arrow cedar shingles, custom diamond cedar shingles, custom half cove cedar shingles and more.
