A timeless roof with real character — installed with care and built for longevity
Cedar roofing has a classic look you can’t fake. When installed correctly, it delivers curb appeal, natural insulation benefits, and a roof that feels “right” on heritage and premium homes.
Findlay Roofing installs and replaces cedar roofs across the GTA, Golden Horseshoe and rural Southwest Ontario.
Why homeowners choose cedar roofing
- Beautiful appearance: Cedar adds warmth and texture that enhances curb appeal and property value
- Natural insulation: Cedar is naturally insulating and can help reduce heat transfer through the roof
- Weather resilience: Cedar shingles and shakes stand up well to wind and seasonal weather changes when properly installed and maintained
- Long service life with maintenance: Cedar is durable, but it’s not “set and forget.” Proper maintenance keeps it performing and looking its best.
Cedar shingles vs cedar shakes
- Cedar shingles are machine-cut and more uniform
- Cedar shakes are thicker and have a more rustic texture
We’ll help you select the right look and the right build-up for your roof design.
