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.
