Cedar roofs are a big part of environmentally-friendly living in the Pacific Northwest. They are also highly functional and incredibly durable. They maintain your home beautifully and make safety paramount through their ability to withstand high winds, fire, water, snow and hail. In addition to all of that, having a cedar roof on your Vancouver home allows you to add to the economy of your own community.

Much of the cedar used to make cedar shingles and cedar shakes comes from British Columbia in Western Canada. In fact, it accounts for almost 2% of the Canadian province's exports in terms of forestry services. It is a multi million dollar industry in the area and accounts for many jobs and a lot of money that goes into the local economies.

Your Cedarex cedar roof is all natural, but that isn't reason in itself to choose the cedar option. The best reason to go cedar is the incredible return on your investment.

A cedar roof is sturdy and functional. It lasts up to half a century (especially if you choose high quality Cedarex products, and opt to have them chemically treated post-installation), and the natural qualities of cedar can save you big money on heating and cooling bills. In fact, the benefits are overwhelming.

No matter how roofing manufacturers try, no matter whether they produce low cost paper roofing products that last only a few years, high cost metal roofing that rusts and doesn't breathe, heavy concrete or brittle terra cotta, they have not been able to duplicate the look and function of BC cedar. Nature does it best, and the people of British Columbia, in many ways, are reaping the benefits.
