Why Consider a New Cedar Roof?
One of our top priorities is protecting homeowners against the ravages of wind, rain, and hail. Winters in Birmingham, when most of our 56 inches of rain per year tend to fall, are especially nasty. Compare that to the national average of 38 inches, and you’ll realize that water damage is a real threat to your roof.
Cedar shakes are one of the best ways to defend your home from the elements. A cedar roof can stand against everything from hail to snowstorms and last up to ten years longer on average than asphalt shingles.
