Cedar roofs have been around since colonial times.  It is a trendy roofing material and is also very beautiful. It is also very environmentally friendly and can last up to 50 years.  However, cedar shake roofing in Fall River can be high maintenance.  It is very vulnerable to discoloration from mold, mildew and algae, so it will need to be cleaned more often than most types of roofs. 

Also, because cedar is wood, it tends to expand and contract more than most other roofing materials, which causes screws and other fasteners to loosen, making the cedar shingles fall off the roof, exposing the roof to leaks. This is rare, but it does happen occasionally.  Do you have missing cedar shingles that you would like us to replace?  Contact one of our experts for your free inspection and estimate.
