Brewster runs along Cape Cod Bay on the north side of the Lower Cape, about 30 minutes from Centerville. Route 6A through Brewster is lined with sea-captain colonials and antique Capes inside the Old King's Highway historic district, while the wooded neighborhoods south of 6A are mostly 1970s to 1990s homes tucked under pitch pine and oak. Those shaded, damp lots are hard on exterior materials: we see more algae on roofs, more moss on north-facing shingles and more rot on trim in Brewster than almost anywhere else on the Cape.
Brewster's wooded lots keep roofs damp and shaded, which grows algae and moss. We install algae-resistant shingles and recommend keeping overhanging branches trimmed so the roof can dry out.
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

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 Brewster lot is heavily wooded. Does that change how you approach cedar shake roofing?
It does. Shade and moisture are the main enemies of exterior materials in Brewster. We choose algae- and mold-resistant products, improve ventilation and drainage where we can, and may recommend trimming back branches that keep the house wet.
