The challenge
The homeowner wanted the cedar silhouette preserved for a heritage-adjacent streetscape, without cedar's fire and rot exposure.
What we specified
Deep-shadow composite laminate in weathered driftwood, with hand-cut hip and ridge caps to keep the shake proportions honest.
The outcome
Insurance premium reduced on the fire rating change, and the streetscape character kept intact.
