Cedar wood contains unique cellular structures that provide up to twice the insulation value of asphalt shingles. This natural thermal barrier keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer during harsh winters.
Woven by nature to be tough, cedar shingles are naturally resistant to high winds and heavy hail. Their structural integrity allows them to withstand severe storms without the cracking or lifting common in synthetic materials.
As a renewable resource, cedar is the premier choice for environmentally conscious homeowners. When properly maintained, a cedar roof offers a decades-long lifespan and is completely biodegradable at the end of its use.

Cedar shingles are sawn on both sides and have a uniform thickness and smooth surface, providing a tailored, traditional look. Cedar shakes are typically hand-split on one side, giving them a thicker, more rugged and rustic texture.
Both options offer excellent durability, but shakes are often chosen for historical or coastal-style homes, while shingles are preferred for a cleaner, more contemporary architectural finish.
A well-maintained cedar roof can last between 30 and 50 years. The longevity depends heavily on the quality of the wood grade used, the climate, and whether the roof was installed with proper ventilation to allow the wood to dry.
Regular professional cleanings to remove debris and moss are essential to prevent moisture retention, which is the leading cause of premature wood decay in the Northeast.
Cedar is ideal for homeowners who prioritize architectural authenticity, natural beauty, and high insulation values. It is a favorite for historic restorations and luxury coastal estates where aesthetics are a top priority.
If you are looking for a roofing material that is both environmentally friendly and capable of increasing your home’s resale value significantly, cedar is an excellent long-term investment.
Maintenance involves keeping the roof free of leaves, pine needles, and moss, which can trap moisture against the wood. It is also important to ensure that gutters are clear to allow for proper drainage.
Periodic treatments with wood preservatives can help the cedar resist UV damage and fungal growth, ensuring the shingles remain supple and functional throughout their entire lifespan.
Cedar is a premium roofing material, and the cost reflects the high quality of the wood and the specialized labor required for installation. It is more expensive than asphalt but offers superior insulation and beauty.
While the initial cost is higher, the energy savings and the significant boost to your home’s “curb appeal” often make it a financially sound choice for high-value residential properties.
Yes, one of the benefits of cedar roofing is that individual damaged or missing shingles can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof. This is a common service after storm damage or if a specific area has weathered faster.
Our repair specialists match the grade and style of your existing cedar to ensure the repair is structurally sound and visually integrated with the rest of the roof’s patina.
Cedar is a natural material that needs to “breathe.” Proper airflow behind the shingles prevents moisture from being trapped, which would otherwise lead to rot and structural failure of the roof deck.
We utilize specialized venting systems and cedar-specific underlayments to ensure that air circulates effectively, allowing the shingles to dry evenly after rain or snow.
Yes, as cedar is exposed to sunlight and rain, it naturally transitions from its original reddish-brown or amber hue to a soft, elegant silver-grey. This “weathering” is a highly desired look for many homeowners.
The speed and shade of the patina depend on the roof’s exposure to the sun and moisture. If you prefer the original color, specialized stains can be applied to maintain the wood’s initial appearance.
