What to know about Cedar roofing

Cedar roofing covers a roof with wooden shingles or shakes cut or split from cedar. It is one of the oldest roof coverings in the country and is still chosen for its warm, textured look, which weathers from golden brown to silvery grey. You'll see it on heritage houses and churches, on cottages and country homes, and on newer houses built to look traditional. Cedar is light, sheds water well when properly installed and resists decay naturally, but it is a natural material that needs air, drainage and steady care to last.

Cedar roofing costs in Welland

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:

  • Roof size and the number of layers to remove
  • Roofing material
  • Slope and how steep the roof is to work on
  • Access to the roof and the site
  • Condition of the decking underneath
  • Flashing, vents, skylights and chimneys to work around
  • Amount of repair work compared with a full replacement

How to choose roofers in Welland

  • Ask for a written quote that lists the materials, the scope of work and what happens if damaged decking is found once the old roof is off.
  • Look for a roofer who inspects the roof in person, including the attic if possible, before giving you a price.
  • Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, since roof work is high-risk.
  • Compare quotes on the same scope: tear-off or overlay, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup.
  • Ask to see recent roofs they've done that are similar to yours in material and slope.

Questions to ask roofers before you hire

  • Will you remove the old roofing or install over it, and why?
  • How will you handle damaged decking or other surprises once the roof is open?
  • Who will pull the permit if one is needed?
  • Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
  • What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and how long does it last?
  • How will you protect my yard, gutters and siding, and how will you clean up nails and debris?
  • Will your own crew do the work, or will you use subcontractors?

Cedar roofing permits in Ontario

Some cedar roofing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common cedar roofing questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
