Cedar Roof Installation

What This Service Involves

Cedar roofing offers timeless, natural character that suits Pacific Northwest homes beautifully. We install shakes and shingles over a breathable underlayment system that lets the wood dry between our frequent rains. Quality cedar naturally resists rot and insects, and proper spacing plus ventilation extends its life in our damp climate. Skilled installation and detailing are essential to keep a cedar roof watertight and performing for years.
