A well installed cedar roof is one that has been designed to “breathe”. Many builder grade cedar installations fail prematurely as a result of omitting strapping or a breathable mesh beneath the cedar
The key to receiving an enduring cedar installation lies in a few key factors:
- Obtain quality products
- Have the work completed by an approved CCSSB authorized installation contractor
- Install the cedar work to CCSSB standards supply
Cedar acts as a good insulator and resists insects due to its natural oils. It is a popular choice for Cape Cod-style homes, providing decades of water resistant performance, provided that it is installed properly.
Cedar Shingles and shakes provide a rustic charm that suits the architecture of many character homes.
The addition of cedar shingles acting as siding on dormer sides or exterior gable walls can add an elegant and durable touch to accent any roof having such details.
