Cedar Roofing Company offers a comprehensive suite of services and products.
What’s in a name? Sometimes, more than you think. Cedar Roof- ing Company is a well-established family business in the area, but anyone who has worked with this trusted local resource knows that it goes beyond nomenclature. While experts on cedar roofing, the company’s offerings have expanded to include asphalt, slate, tile, metal, flat, and commercial roofing, as well as custom metal work, gutters, siding, skylights, and more. “As our company has grown, so has our reputation as a leader in quality workmanship,” says Jennifer Makely of Cedar Roofing Company. “We strive to expand and develop the skills that have earned us this premier status through ongoing education and on-the-job training for all our employees.” Makely says reputation building is the key to the company’s success. As it expands, focusing on quality and hiring ex- pert installers has gone a long way with faithful customers. In fact, some craftsmen who work with Cedar Roofing have been with the company for more than 30 years. “Our first love has always been cedar shakes and shingles,” Makely admits. In recent years, these products have become more and more popular, even for new build homes. And there isn’t a better company in the area to provide the best recommendations for an approach to this special type of roof- ing. “Our products have a special warmth and elegance that is both tasteful and timeless,” Makely says. Cedar is lightweight, as well as wind and impact resistant. It’s a truly green product that can keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter.” Cedar requires true craftsmanship to install correctly, and the crew at Cedar Roof- ing Company is some of the most experienced in the business. The company is also skilled at slate and tile roofing—not only installing new roofs, but providing repairs and maintenance. Built largely on referrals, Cedar Roofing Company has continued to grow the business into new areas and technologies to support customers. “We are committed to educating ourselves and our customers about new developments in technology and materials available today,” Makely adds. “Synthetic roofing materials are a relatively new development. They are made from recycled plastic or rubber, are lightweight; are mold, pest, impact, and fire resistant; and are virtually maintenance free. In 2019, there are new advances with solar roofing tiles that we’re also very excited about.”
