5 Key Benefits to Cedar Roofs

At Landmark Exteriors, we want homeowners across Connecticut to feel secure knowing their home has a roofing system that’s not only beautiful but also strong and long-lasting. Cedar roofing continues to grow in popularity for homes throughout CT and the rest of the U.S. because of its many great benefits.

From the cedar roofing experts at Landmark Exteriors, here are five key benefits to installing a cedar roof on your house: 

  1. Durability

One of the best benefits of cedar roofs is that they are durable and therefore will last for many decades with periodic maintenance. This is a major difference compared to other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, which will only last between 10 and 20 years. Cedar shingles are strong and tough and will protect your house and everything inside of it without worry. 

  1. Element Resistance

Cedar wood contains natural preservatives, meaning that the shingles resist many of nature’s elements, such as moisture, UV rays, insects, moss growth, and wind. As a result, cedar roofs are long-lasting and will require fewer repairs over time. 

  1. Energy Efficiency

Cedar roofing is highly regarded for its excellent insulation and ability to block out cold winds and intense heat from entering your home while retaining your preferred indoor temperature. This is an extremely valuable benefit as it can save you money on your energy bills, especially during the winter and summer months. 

  1. Eco-Friendly

Many homeowners appreciate cedar roofing because it is an eco-friendly roofing material. Cedar is an organic material, and no chemicals are used while processing the wood into shingles. When the cedar shingles have reached their lifespan, they can be turned into bark dust, used in your garden, or repurposed into other items. 

  1. Increased Home Value

Cedar is a beautiful wood that will add a new level of classic elegance to your house’s overall appearance. Because of its beauty and advantages, homes with cedar roofs have increased value, which will be very beneficial when it comes time to sell. Potential buyers will love the added benefit that the house has an attractive, durable, and quality roof.
