Barnstable is the largest town on Cape Cod and it is where Braun Construction lives. Our shop is in Centerville, and most of the photos on this page were taken within a few miles of it. The town is really seven villages: Centerville, Osterville, Cotuit, Marstons Mills, West Barnstable, Barnstable Village and Hyannis. Each has its own character. Osterville and Cotuit are full of shingle-style waterfront homes; Marstons Mills has newer subdivisions; the north side along Route 6A has antique Capes that fall under the Old King's Highway historic district. We know the building department, the inspectors and the historic review process because we deal with them every week.
On the Route 6A side of Barnstable, roof color and material may need Old King's Highway approval before a permit is issued. We handle that submission and match the historic look with modern architectural shingles.
Cedar shake and cedar shingle roofs are part of the Cape's traditional look, and on many historic-district homes they are the expected material. A cedar roof is a different craft from asphalt: each course is laid with the right exposure and keyway spacing, on a breathable underlayment or skip sheathing that lets the wood dry, with stainless steel fasteners so nothing rust-streaks. Done right, a cedar roof weathers to silver and lasts decades. Done wrong, it cups and rots in ten years. We build them the right way and we help with historic review where it applies.
Problems we solve
- Curling, cracked or missing shingles after a storm
- Black algae streaks on north- and shade-facing slopes
- Ice dams and interior leaks every winter
- Soft spots or sagging that point to rotted decking
- A roof at 20+ years that has never been inspected
Materials we work with
- Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind
- Algae-resistant shingles for shaded and damp lots
- Synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water membrane
- Ridge vents and proper intake ventilation
- Aluminum or copper drip edge and step flashing

Straight answers on licensing, permits, timelines and materials.
Have More Questions? Contact UsDoes Braun Construction have up-to-date licenses and insurance?
Yes, absolutely. We are a fully licensed and insured construction company in Massachusetts. This ensures total protection for you, your property, and our crew during your cedar shake roofing project.
How long will my cedar shake roofing project take?
One of our core values is strict adherence to deadlines. During your initial consultation, we will provide a precise timeline and stick to it.
Does the budget cover all costs involved?
Yes. Honesty is our trademark. We provide clear, comprehensive quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for to maximize the return on your investment.
Is a cedar roof practical on Cape Cod?
Yes, when it is installed with proper ventilation, stainless fasteners and a breathable underlayment. Cedar has been used on Cape roofs for three centuries. It costs more than asphalt but suits historic and shingle-style homes in a way asphalt cannot.
Do I need historic district approval for a cedar roof?
If your home is in a historic district, a cedar roof is usually the material the committee prefers, so approval is typically straightforward. We prepare the submission and handle the process for you.
My Barnstable home is on Route 6A. Does the historic district affect my cedar shake roofing project?
It can. Properties visible from Route 6A on the north side of Barnstable are reviewed by the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee for exterior changes. We prepare the application, attend the hearing if needed, and spec materials the committee typically approves.
