CRC is Much More Than Just a Cedar Roofing Company

The following article is sponsored by Cedar Roofing Company.

Your home is much more than just a house. It’s the place where you keep all of your most prized possessions. It provides protection for your family. It’s where your life happens. It’s also probably your biggest investment, in both money and time. Cedar Roofing Company (CRC) is proud to bring our years of experience to help you care for the most important thing you own—your home.

We are a family-owned business with an established reputation in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Although we began simply as a “cedar roofing company,” we quickly found that our customers were looking for much more than just cedar products. 

CRC specializes in providing the highest quality materials, installed by expert craftsmen, many who have been with the company for over 30 years. At CRC our first love has always been cedar shakes and shingles. They have a special warmth and elegance that is both tasteful and timeless. Cedar is lightweight, as well as wind- and impact-resistant. It’s a truly green product that has a high R value to keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter. Cedar requires true craftsmanship to install correctly, and at Cedar Roofing Company our installers are experts.

Over the years, our company’s services have expanded to include asphalt, slate, tile, metal, flat and commercial roofing, as well as custom metalwork, gutters, siding, skylights and more. As our company has grown, so has our reputation as a leader in quality workmanship. We strive to expand and develop the skills that have earned us this reputation through ongoing education and on-the-job training for all our employees.

We are committed to educating ourselves and our customers about new developments in technology and materials available today. Synthetic roofing materials are a relatively new development. They are made from recycled plastic or rubber and are lightweight, mold-, pest-, impact- and fire-resistant and are virtually maintenance free. Our installers are trained and proficient with new installation procedures and processes that are required with synthetic roofing projects. 

There are also exciting advances in solar panels and solar roofing. We think these products will become more affordable and accessible in the next couple of years. We are working closely with solar panel companies to get the best outcome when mixing roofing products with solar panel installation brackets. It’s important to us to keep up with new developments, so we can help our customers make decisions about updating their homes.

At the end of the day, CRC doesn’t just sell roofs. We are in the business of partnering with our customers. People have a hard time trusting roofing contractors to do the right thing. We work hard on building long lasting, trusting relationships with our customers, so that they can feel confident with our services and recommendations. We love that our customers are so willing to share their experiences with other people and help us grow our business.
