Cedar Shake Roofing in Stratford, Connecticut
Cedar shake roofing in Stratford is the classic New England roof, and it adds the character that the asphalt cannot. The natural cedar sheds the rain and the snow, insulates the home, and ages to the silver-gray that suits the region. Cedar shake roofing in Stratford is installed with the ventilation that keeps the wood healthy.
The cedar shake roof in Stratford is a natural material that needs a system around it. The shakes shed the weather, and the ventilation and the treatments keep the wood dry and healthy. Cedar shake roofing in Stratford delivers the look and the performance when it is installed and maintained properly.
The roofs of Stratford have a lot riding on them. The snow loads the structure, the ice backs the water under the shingles, and the wind of every storm finds the weak spot. Cedar Shake Roofing in Stratford is the work that keeps the roof ahead of the weather, and our crews have been doing it through every season.
Signs Your Stratford Roof Needs Cedar Shake Roofing
- You want the classic cedar look on the new roof
- The attic lacks the ventilation the cedar needs
- The coastal home needs the natural, treated material
- The cedar shakes are cracked, split, or curling
- Moss is growing on the shaded slopes of the roof
Why Stratford Roofs Need Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofing in Stratford is all about the moisture balance. The cedar sheds the rain and the snow, but it has to dry out between the storms. The ventilation behind the deck and the treatments on the surface are what keep the wood from rotting and the moss from growing in the humid summers.
The cedar roof in Stratford is a natural insulator. The wood traps the air and keeps the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which cuts the energy bills. The classic look ages to the silver-gray that suits the New England architecture.
For the coastal homes of Coastal Fairfield County, cedar is a classic choice when it is treated for the salt air and the humidity. The natural material resists the corrosion, and with the maintenance, the roof lasts for decades.
The homes of Stratford range from the historic properties near the Stratford Town Green, Long Beach, and Boothe Memorial Park to the newer neighborhoods, and each roof has its own history with the weather. Cedar Shake Roofing in Stratford meets the roof where it is, assesses the damage honestly, and does the work that the climate requires.
