A cedar roof is a thing of beauty.  Who wouldn’t be proud of choosing a material that holds up to the elements over time while still retaining its beauty as it ages?  Wood is a natural material that is both energy efficient as well as durable.  Why is it so important to use an energy efficient product here in Vermont?  Just think about the importance of wearing a warm hat in the winter or a breathable material in the summer.  Wearing a hat can make all the difference on a cold day whether we stay warm or not.  It is similar with using cedar roofing.  Cedar is a natural insulator that keeps the heat in when it’s cold and keeps a house cool when it warm. It is a practical choice when wanting to keep energy costs down.   As with anything natural, there will be maintenance needed to maintain the wood’s natural beauty over the years but the maintenance will be worth it as your roof continues to hold its value as  it ages.
