Cedarwood has been around for aeons and has stood the test of time when used as a building material. Let us break down some of the benefits of the durable and versatile cedar roof.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Cedarwood shakes provide your home with a rustic atmosphere and natural texture, whereas the cedarwood shingles give your home a more tailored look and feel. The rich red, gold, brown and amber colours of the cedar shakes and shingles add some distinguished tones to your home while enhancing the curb appeal of it at the same time. Your home is bound to stand out from the rest of the houses on your street with the addition of the cedar wood shakes and shingles.

Durability

Cedarwood roofing is incredibly durable. Due to its natural strength, it can enhance the strength of your roof structure. Its natural preservatives make it resistant to harmful UV rays, it can withstand severe weather conditions such as wind, rain, hail and snow. When coated with the appropriate treatments, your cedar wood shakes and shingles can be moisture resistant, fire retardant as well as fungus resistant. If you take care of your cedar roof and properly maintain it, your cedar roof can last you up to 50 years, longer than most other roofing options.

Incredible Insulation

Cedar roofing is an excellent choice for Pittsburgh’s climate. Its natural insulating features keep your home cool during the hot summer months and provides a layer of warmth during the colder seasons. The roofing material will help you save hundreds of dollars on air conditioning due to its incredible insulation.

Pleasant Smell

If you enjoy the outdoors and the sweet smells of nature then you’ll absolutely love the pleasant, natural smells of the cedar wood roofing. The fresh smells of the cedar can add an element of cosiness and homeyness to your home.

Resale Possibilities

Cedar roofing adds incredible beauty and natural aesthetic to your home. It is because of these features that makes reselling your house that much easier. Choosing a cedar roof automatically increases the reselling price and potential of your home, making it more than just a beautiful roof but a great investment opportunity as well.

“Casey is amazing and totally sold me on my new roof. She covered all bases with her knowledge of each aspect of the job and really made me feel at ease. The crew worked quickly and got the job done over two days. Minor cosmetic concerns were promptly dealt with. All in all I can’t really complain and they will see more business from me in the future!”

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”

“I replaced the roof and gutter, not my first time on the project. It's my first time working with Home Genius. I'm glad I chose this company. The crew that represent the company ( Buddy, Alex, Tim, Pablo, and the crew) are the greatest persons I've met. Very professional, pleasant, respectful, and they show up on time, they all take their time to explain all my questions/concerns and show me every step of the project.
