Eastham is the gateway to the Cape Cod National Seashore and the first of the Outer Cape towns, about 45 minutes from Centerville. Most of its housing is modest: mid-century Capes, cottages and ranches that were built for summer and have gradually become year-round homes. That older, lighter construction plus the Outer Cape's constant wind means Eastham homes need exterior work more often than homes further up the Cape. Because Eastham is a longer drive for us, we schedule Outer Cape projects together so the crew is on site every day until the job is done.
Eastham roofs near the National Seashore take sand-blasting wind that wears shingle granules early. We recommend heavier architectural shingles and secure every edge with high-wind nailing and starter strips.
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.
Is Eastham too far for you to take on a cedar shake roofing project?
Not at all. Eastham is about 45 minutes from our Centerville shop. We group Outer Cape jobs so the crew stays on site day after day, and the drive never changes your agreed timeline.
