Do You Have a Cedar Roof?

We specialize in replacing cedar roofs with green, earth-friendly alternatives. Cedar roofs, whether shake or shingle, average a 15-18 year lifespan in our area. A typical cedar reroof project results in 70-80 yards of refuse going to a landfill. 80 yards! That’s 538 30-gallon garbage cans!

See the math.

When we tear off a cedar roof, we recycle 100% of the metals and shred your old shingles into mulch. It can be used for residential landscaping or groundcover for hiking or horse trails. So your reroof project will only be producing 5-10 yards of refuse for the landfill. (Unfortunately, tar paper and asphalt felt are not yet recyclable.)

Most of our composite and metal roofs carry 50-year warranties. If we assume, conservatively, that your roof lasts only the minimum of 50 years, over the lifespan of your EcoWise™ roof, you will be preventing 310 yards of landfill refuse. That’s over 2000 garbage cans!

See the math.

Is there any other single action you could take that would have such a positive impact on our environment?
