Cedar Roofing Materials: Where Roof Life of Oregon Gets Their Materials
June 3rd, 2010 by Patrick MorinWhere in the world did you find a 600-year-old cedar tree? Would you believe British Columbia, Canada? That’s about 5 hours north of Portland Oregon. I had one of our mills send me some pictures of the method of finding, preparing for, cutting, and then air hauling the bolts of cedar to the road. The trucks pick them up from there and take them to the mills. Of course, not all cedar is done this way, just the best old growth stuff. The other 85% of the cedar used for roofing and siding will be harvested from 300-400 year old tree’s while harvesting the Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Spruce trees; these being use in the building trades.

Corners Roof Contractors Cut On Your Cedar Shake Roof
April 27th, 2010 by Patrick MorinCedar shakes made specifically for you will make a difference and end up costing you less than the cheaper and lower grade cedar shakes used by most roofing contractors in Portland.
Its taken us 25 years, but we did it. We have worked long and hard grow to the point that the best mills in Canada make us our very own cedar shakes. This is a huge blessing for all involved. A win-win situation. The standards are nothing short of perfect and because we skip all the middle-men, traditionally adding $30-$70 a square, we can bring you this material for a little more than all the other Portland roofing contractors offers for low grade cedar shakes. The difference to you as a homeowner is 80% less maintenance. Fewer repairs, less treatment, and a lot better looking roof profile.
