Why Homeowners Choose Specialty Roofing
Cedar and other specialty roofs deliver advantages that go beyond surface appeal:
Natural Durability: Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect activity. Slate alternatives offer an impressive lifespan and require less maintenance than traditional stone.
Aging With Character: Cedar develops a silver-grey patina over time, creating an authentic, charming look.
Energy Efficiency: Natural wood roofing materials act as insulators, supporting better temperature regulation inside the home.
Long-Term Value: These premium roofs are highly desirable in today’s housing market, often helping increase resale value and reducing the need for replacement.
Custom-Tailored Design: Every installation can be customized in material, pattern, and finish, delivering a unique look that elevates the home's status and style.
For those who want their property to project distinction and craftsmanship, a specialty roof is an investment in both style and function.
Our Process from Consultation to Completion
At The Roofing Store, we’ve developed our approach to provide top-tier craftmanship through a personalized and seamless experience:
Design Consultation
We start with a conversation about your goals, preferences, and desired outcomes, then conduct an on-site evaluation to inform precise planning.
Material Selection
You can check out premium options in person at our Plainfield location, using our large product displays and samples to compare styles, colors, and textures before you decide. Or, we can bring samples to you during your consultation.
Proprietary Installation
Our installations follow a proprietary process that includes a commercial-grade underlayment, careful flashing, proper ventilation, and expertise in installing materials such as cedar- or slate-style roofing.
Project Coordination
We keep you informed on timing, protect your property while we work, and clean up thoroughly. Then we walk you through the finished roof so you know exactly what was done and feel confident in the result.
Quality Materials & Trusted Brands
The Roofing Store partners with proven manufacturers like AB Martin, CertainTeed, and Tamko, to offer roofing options that perform in New England conditions and are backed by real warranty support. We are also CertainTeed Master Shingle certified installers, which means our crew has met CertainTeed’s training and installation standards and can offer qualifying CertainTeed warranty options when you choose an eligible system. What our partnerships mean for you is:
Stronger protection against New England’s harsh weather
More design flexibility with a wider range of colors, profiles, and finishes
Less upkeep over time thanks to durable materials that are made to hold up
Access to exclusive warranties not available from other roofing contractors
When you choose established brands and a certified installer, you are not just upgrading how your home looks. You are investing in a roof system designed to perform consistently for years.
