Cedar Roofing
Wood shingles used to be the most common roofing material in America. Today cedar is still a durable and beautiful material for roofing.
Beauty
Cedar shakes and shingles are often imitated by other products such as asphalt and rubber; however, the natural beauty of cedar can never truly be copied. Cedar Shingles are tapered and sawn on both sides for a uniform, clean appearance. Shakes are split and are usually much thicker than a shingle, lending itself to a rustic look. Both of these products bring an element of warmth and charm to a home that synthetic products could never match.
Durability
Properly installed cedar roofs can last between 50 and 60 years. Fichtner Services is a Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau approved installer, having submitted a detailed application and undergone a thorough vetting process. Approved installers must prove to be properly licensed, insured and experienced. Only approved installers can offer the Certi-label manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty backed by the CSSB, recognized as the cedar industry authority.
Environmentally Friendly
Cedar not only makes for a beautiful, long-lasting roof, it is also environmentally friendly as it is a renewable, recyclable and sustainable roofing material. Cedar reforestation is robust and there is actually a surplus of cedar forestry. It is also a natural insulator, keeping your attic cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing your carbon footprint. Less energy is used in the production of cedar roofing materials than any other construction material.
