Historic Home Cedar Woodshake Roof Replacement

Cranbury, NJ

This historic home built around 200 years ago in Cranbury NJ, needed a new roof. The owners wanted a new cedar shake roof. This very expensive roof should be in place for the next 70 or 80 years. The owners had to be very careful who they chose for this project. We removed the old slate roof over woodshake. Installed all new 1x4 pine horizontal boards. Roofing felt is installed in between each row. All new shakes are spaced correctly to allow for expansion. Another beautiful job by John Asch Contracting.
