"I needed a roof that was going to protect my home from the extremely heavy snow loads and the excessive freezing temperatures we experience each year, here in the high mountains of Colorado. Cedar was the only material that could offer me a high enough level of durability for the style of home I have."

Cedar shakes & shingles are one of the most durable roofing materials available on the market today. Western Red Cedar's natural ability to flex allows it to withstand some of the harshest weather climates in the world: areas such as Oregon, British Columbia, and Alaska.

Wind tests, conducted by the shake and shingle association rated cedar roofing materials to withstand winds up to 130mph.
