Contractor Resources

Real cedar character at a price that keeps bids competitive. Here is what you need to spec, order, and install Western Red Cedar Shingles on a client project.

Why Contractors Choose This Product

Our #3/#4 grade delivers the look clients want: real cedar, natural knots and grain, at a price point premium grades cannot match. It is an easy upsell on sheds, privacy screens, and accent walls, and a distinctive, affordable siding alternative on full exteriors.
