The Cedar Roof Company began as a partnership between Brian Pott and Jim Gabsey, two young men who recognized a need in the cedar roof market that was going unaddressed. While working with a company that specialized in the installation and restoration of wood siding, they noticed that while cedar shingle and shake roofs needed the same professional care of preservation, there were no companies offering this service. Brian and Jim combined their knowledge of wood preservation with additional research on materials and processes, and developed the region’s first solution for the preservation of cedar roofs.

In their first summer of business, they completed just eight roof preservations. Today, the Cedar Roof Company serves approximately 300 new customers every year, while retaining its faithful past customers with re-coat maintenance every 5-6 years. The company has grown in both size and capability, with services that now include repairs and new installations, and an expanded team that combines the talents of administrative, service, installation and preservation specialists. In addition, the Cedar Roof Company has broadened its service area to include Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Southern Connecticut, and the Hamptons area of New York.

• A Service Department dedicated to repairing and preserving cedar shakes and shingles – a job that many roofing companies can’t, or won’t, do.
• An Installation Department focused solely on the proper installation of cedar shake and shingle roofs. Cedar Roof Company crews are dedicated to cedar installations – and rarely handle installations of other roofing materials.
• A Preservation Department that provides continuing care and protection. Cedar Roof Company experts will advise you on the proper service and maintenance intervals and help you gain the ultimate in performance, beauty and longevity.
