About Us

Roofers You Can Trust

Cedar Roofing, a division of A.B. Edward, is a brand that has been building its reputation in Chicagoland for 20 years. We have been offering top quality cedar roofing services uninterruptedly since 2003. By using the highest quality purchased cedar wood, quality tools and proper storage techniques, the shakes we produce are more than resistant to water, UV radiation and mechanical stimuli. We care about the quality of the roofs we install at every stage of the service, and the feedback from our customers confirms this.

Harvesting cedar wood

We source the highest quality cedar wood from sustainable forests. We select only the right size trees, so that the resulting shakes will be adequately resistant to parasites and UV radiation. The high concentration of resin makes it unnecessary to impregnate the wood for the first few years.

Slow drying of wood

When drying wooden logs, we take care to maintain the proper moisture level of the material. By gradually lowering the concentration of water vapor in the air and controlling the temperature, we reduce the risk of micro-cracks and cracks that could accelerate the growth of mold, mildew and moss.

Cautious cutting of boards

Using extremely sharp tools and proper cutting technique, we are able to obtain shakes with smoother edges, which improves their appearance and protects them from rotting and cracking.

Effective design

The development of an appropriate design is necessary to achieve effective water drainage. Too low as well as too high a curvature of the roof slope can negatively affect the durability of the shakes as well as the aesthetics of the building.

Precise installation

When installing cedar shakes on your home, we will take care of their proper placement. With precision and accuracy, the roof stays in good working order for a longer period of time, and the risk of leaks decreases. Our roofers are specialists with years of experience who have brought their craft to absolute perfection.

Excellent finishes

When replacing or installing a new roof, we make sure that it is properly finished. For this reason, we use the highest-quality flashing manufactured exclusively by North Shore Sheet Metals, completely corrosion-resistant nails, premium seals, and gutters made of heavy-duty sheet metal. As a result, cedar roofs from A.B. Edward are synonymous with quality for years to come.
