Choosing a roof is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when designing a house. It covers the entire top of your house, and can be seen for miles away. It’s one of the first things folks notice when they approach your home, and brings together the entire look and feel of your elevation.

As far as the practicality of the roof goes, it has to help insulate and keep out moisture. With these simple functions in mind, your roof could be the most important part of your home. With cedar roof shingles, however, you get the best of both worlds: a look and feel you’ll be proud of for your home and the long-lasting protection to keep you comfortable and secure.

Choosing Roofing Materials

Cedar roofing offers superior coverage over man-made materials for a few reasons. One reason is their nature. Since they are made from wood and come in a variety of thicknesses, going cedar can help seal in heat and add style with a single installation.

Additionally, with proper cedar roof preservation, cedar shingle roofing can be sealed and stained to match any home. While other roofing materials might offer similar results, they aren’t as customizable and certainly can’t be matched to meet each specific roof’s design. With cedar roofing, each and every installation is a custom creation. That means shingles can be cut and molded for the intricacies of each roof. Fireplaces, gutters, unusual roof lines and more can all be accommodated, without sacrificing the quality or look of your roof in the process.

Cedar Shakes Last

Perhaps best of all, cedar shingle roofing offers many more years of protection over man-made materials. With cedar roof maintenance, including sealants and pressure washing, installing a cedar roof can mean a high-quality material that lasts. This means cedar shingles are an investment in your home that’s actually budget-friendly in the long run.


With all of the perks they’re able to provide, it is no wonder cedar shingle roofing has become such a popular option throughout the years. Cedar roofs are considered an upgrade in both quality and style and can help with the resale value of your home.
