Orleans is the commercial hub of the Lower and Outer Cape, about 40 minutes from our shop. It has water on three sides: the Atlantic at Nauset Beach, Cape Cod Bay at Skaket and Rock Harbor, and Pleasant Bay to the south. That means an East Orleans home and a Rock Harbor home can need very different roofing and siding details even though they are five minutes apart. Orleans also has a stretch of Route 6A inside the Old King's Highway historic district and a strong preference for the traditional cedar-shingle look throughout town.
Nauset-side roofs in East Orleans get the Atlantic head-on. We install shingles rated for high wind with extra nailing at rakes and eaves, and we add ice-and-water membrane well past the code minimum on exposed slopes.
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.
Which Orleans neighborhoods do you serve for cedar shake roofing?
All of them: East Orleans near Nauset Beach, Skaket and Rock Harbor on the bay side, South Orleans along Pleasant Bay, and Orleans Center. Each has slightly different exposure, and we adjust materials and details accordingly.
