Why Western Red Cedar Roofing Is Still the Gold Standard in BC

When it comes to roofing that combines natural beauty, long-lasting performance, and local sustainability, it’s hard to beat Western Red Cedar Roofing. For homeowners and builders across British Columbia, cedar shake and shingle roofing remains one of the most timeless and trusted choices — and for good reason.

1. Western Red Cedar Roofing is Built for BC’s Climate

Western Red Cedar isn’t just visually appealing — it’s naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making it perfectly suited for BC’s diverse weather conditions. From rainy coastal towns to sun-drenched interiors, cedar performs with strength and reliability.

2. Sourced Sustainably, Installed Expertly

At Pattar Roofing, we take pride in using premium old-growth cedar, including reclaimed and salvaged wood when available. We work with trusted local mills and finishing partners, allowing us to control quality from raw material to final install. Every cedar shake is carefully graded and installed by our dedicated team to ensure a roof that’s as strong as it is stunning.

3. Natural Character, Timeless Appeal

No two cedar roofs are the same — and that’s the beauty of it. Cedar brings rich tones, rugged textures, and architectural character that ages gracefully over time. Whether you’re building a mountain cabin or a modern custom home, cedar adds undeniable curb appeal.

4. It’s More Than a Roof — It’s an Investment

A professionally installed cedar roof doesn’t just look great — it adds real long-term value to your property. With proper care, cedar roofing can last decades, making it one of the smartest aesthetic and structural upgrades you can make.
