About Cedar Shingles: Cedar, as a roofing material, has a long tradition of quality, dating back hundreds of years. Cedar makes the best natural roofing for two reasons: (1) The heartwood has accumulated natural oils which reduce wood rot and insect damage. (2) It also tends to be straight grained, which means that it can be manufactured into shakes and shingles that will remain flat and true. Cedar shake roofs have been known to last over 70 years. Keeping the Cedar shake looking new will require that you use a quality sealer once a year. Left untreated, the shakes will weather to a rich gray, giving the roof a more rustic look.

About Metal Roof: Customers who choose a metal roof for their structure can choose from one of six colors: black, blue, charcoal, clay, evergreen and red. The ribbed panels of our metal roof are made with 29 gauge, high-tensile steel. They are resistant to dents and will not expand or contract with the changing weather. In addition, snow will slide off the metal easier than other roofing, enhancing the protection from the elements in areas which receive a lot of snow. Each panel is:

• Coated with Galavalume – a patented aluminum/zinc alloy coating that provides extra protection.
• Bonded and coated with Epoxy primer, which provides flexibility and an excellent base for the final coat of paint.
• Coated with Cream-A-Sil, a ceramic, pigmented silicone polyester, which creates strength, hardness and durability against the elements. It is extremely resistant to mildew and will not blister, peel or flake.

Exposed fastener roofs will include screws of the same color to attach the pre-cut roof sections to your roof frame. A standing seam roof is available by special quote. Standing seam roofs have no visible fasteners and require on-site cutting by an installer. For more information on this option, please contact one of our design consultants.
