In British Columbia, tools dating as far back 5,000-years made from red cedar have been found. The Temple of Solomon, also known as the First Temple, was built from the “Cedars of Lebanon”. Here in the states, cedar and wood roof coverings were the only type of roof covering used until very recent history.

    Today, many historic homes still opt for cedar shakes for their authenticity look, unrivaled beauty, and unmatched durability.

    Why are Cedar Roofs a Great Choice for homes, here in Westchester?

    or starters, cedar shingles and shakes offer durability and natural beauty that asphalt and other synthetic roofing products imitate but cannot match. There are specific standards in the roofing market and the gold standard is and will always be natural slate roofing and natural cedar roofing.

    Cedar Roof Types:

    There are several choices within the cedar roofing shingle market, as a homeowner, your cedar roofing team will help educate you on cedar siding thicknesses and finishes, such as Perfection Tapersawn and Hand split cedar roofing shingles here is a quick overview.

    It is easy to understand the different cedar roofing types when you think about a tree’s growth rings. “Edge grain shakes” are cut or split perpendicular to the rings, while flat grain shakes are cut or split at less than a 45-degree angle to the rings. Cedar shingles, which are sawn from large solid woodblocks, are available in two main types: sawn, sanded and taper sawn.

    Sawn Cedar Roof Shingles

    Sawn Cedar Roof Shingles are made to look like cedar shakes, but are more tailored in appearance.

    Sanded Cedar Roof Shingles

    Sanded Cedar Roof Shingles are smoother on both sides, smooth being a relative term, they are softer than traditional cedar shingles and are preferred by homeowners looking for a more modern and refined appearance for their roof.

    Tapersawn Cedar Roof Shingles
    Tapersawn Cedar Roof Shingles

    Tapersawn Cedar Roof Shingles are a hybrid of sawn shingles and hand-split shakes. Like a shingle, both faces are sawn, as are the edges, giving the taper-sawn shake a uniform appearance. Thicker than shingles, taper-sawn shakes have a more massive shadow line on the roof.

    Recently had our roof re-done and B&W roofing did an incredible job. Ziggy, Jason and their team were very thorough, quick to respond and very professional. We are very pleased with how our roof turned out and would definitely recommend using them!
    Ziggy and Jason and their teams are super professional and efficient. They came quickly after we called them and quickly sent us a very detailed estimate. Their price and warranty were the best of the 10+ quotes we got. The permit was also included in the total price. They worked on the roof for 6 days. They had all their material setup before their start day. They did a wonderful job including in the complicated areas. It is very nice of Jason to share his pictures from the drone so we see better. They have always been very available to answer our questions right away.

    After vetting several roofing companies and conducting a ton of research, I chose B & W Group, Inc for my complete roof/gutter replacement project in North Bergen, NJ. The company’s owner, Ziggy, was extremely professional and made very intelligent and helpful decisions that kept us on budget and on schedule. I was amazed by the talent of his group. But above all, Ziggy was very hands on, watching over his team the entire time to ensure we received the best quality service. During the course of the two-day project, several neighbors stopped by the house to get his card. I would highly recommend B & W Group for any home exterior project. In fact, I plan to call them next season to redo our siding.

    B&W Group did an outstanding job replacing our roof. It was a big job as the roof had the original wooden shingles plus 2-3 layers of additional shingles. The owner/manager, Ziggy, was a pleasure to work with throughout. He came to the house very quickly after reaching out to B&W to inspect a leak, tarp the leak and measure the house to provide a roof replacement estimate. During the project, the group worked very hard from early in the morning until sundown putting together a final product that we are extremely pleased with.

    We woke up to water pouring into our house in the early morning hours. We called B&W Roofing and got a return call within 10 minutes. Their crew was fantastic. They did a great job and within a couple of days the repair was complete. I would highly recommend this company.

    Ziggy promptly sent me a detailed estimate of what the job entailed. I asked for a specific type of roof and he exhausted every vendor until he luckily was able to source it for me. The guys showed up from 8am until it was too dark to work. They were professional and hard working and the roof came out beautifully! They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend giving them a call!

    My Wife and I are new home owners. We knew that our first major project was going to have to be replacing our roof. We reached out to 4 different roofing companies. Ziggy responded the same day and by the next day we had someone out looking over the house to give us an estimate. I cannot say the same about the other companies. it took approximately 2 weeks to get our proposals together including replacing 2 of the companies with 2 others to do our Due diligence. Ziggy's proposal was unmatched, he beat the other 3 companies in price, product, and warranty. We signed the proposal and they started work the following week. Due to hot weather the project took 6 days to complete. The dumpster was removed on day 7 and day 8 the team was back to do additional cleanup. Ziggy was often on site to answer any questions or concerns I had. He was also easy to reach via Email. They did a fabulous job with the roof. The new copper flashing for the chimney looks great! I highly recommend Ziggy and crew!
