Cedar Roofing

What is cedar roofing?

Cedar roofing is, as its name suggest, made of wood. Cedar is one of the best performing materials when it comes to crafting shingles and shakes, and can offer protection against the elements.

An extra layer of protection

Cedar shingles and shakes act as an extra layer of installation for your home. Natural wood roofing – even though it is treated – can greatly reduce your heating and cooling costs because cedar prevents heat from escaping through the roof in the winter months. The wood fibers of a cedar roof also keep cool air in during the summer, keeping your home at the perfect temperature inside even when the sun is scorching outside.

The beauty of cedar

When it is first installed, cedar roofing appears light reddish-brown. As time passes, the color changes to a soft gray before finally settling on a muted silver tone. No matter what color stage your cedar roof is in, you’ll know you have a roof over your head that lasts. In fact, cedar roofing can last up to 50 years if maintained. However, if you do find that your aged roof is in need of repair, you need not worry- we also offer roof maintenance and repairs.
