What is a Cedar Roof?
Cedar roofing is made from sawed cedar trees. It has a very distinctive and elegant look that gives your home great exterior aesthetic. Our customers often tell us that they find their cedar roofs beautiful, stunning, and very eye-appealing (and we agree!). This type of roofing provides a unique, sophisticated look that has the bonus of being environmentally friendly. However, your cedar roof will not provide you with as many customization options such as styles and colors, especially compared to asphalt roofing. Individual distinctions from one cedar roof to another often come down to the cut of the wood rather than the color.
