Material · #1 Blue Label grade

Eastern white cedar shake — the traditional coastal NE roof.

Cedar shakes have covered Maine coastal homes since the 1700s. Edge-grain #1 Blue Label cedar, properly installed with Cedar Breather underlayment and stainless fasteners, lasts 30–50 years and weathers to silver-gray. The right material for Cape Cod, saltbox, and shingle-style homes.
