Over the summer, we completed the gorgeous cottage roof in California. Built in 1940, the original roof was a Tudor cottage-style cedar roof, similar to this replacement. Used in the re-roof were our 16” #1 Grade, Fire-Treated Cedar Shingles along with AirCore underneath to provide better air flow under the shingles.
