Location: St. Catharines, Ontario
Service: Full Cedar Shingle Replacement
Material: Natural Western Red Cedar
Result: A Heritage Home Restored to Its Original Character
The Challenge: A Complex Roof That Demanded the Right Material
This St. Catharines Tudor-style home is the kind of property where the roof is part of the character. With multiple dormers, steep pitches, and a network of valleys, the existing roof had reached the end of its life. Cutting corners with an asphalt replacement wasn’t an option. This home deserved cedar.
The Solution: A Full Cedar Shingle Replacement
A project like this requires precision from start to finish. Every valley, every dormer transition, every ridge line had to be executed cleanly – and with fresh #1 grade Western Red Cedar, there’s nowhere to hide sloppy workmanship.
- Complete Tear-Off: The old roof was stripped down to bare deck, giving us a clean foundation and the opportunity to inspect and address anything underneath.
- Complex Geometry, Done Right: Multiple peaks, dormers, and intersecting valleys were shingled with tight, consistent coursing throughout.
- Material Match: Cedar was the only logical choice for a home like this. The warm tones and natural texture are inseparable from the Tudor aesthetic.
The aerial shot says everything. Fresh cedar on a home like this doesn’t just look new – it looks like it was always meant to be there.
