Choosing cedar in Bedford is a commitment. It weathers beautifully and insulates naturally, but it asks more of both installer and owner than asphalt does. Fire treatment matters, ventilation matters doubly, and DFW hail is harder on wood than on Class 4 composites. For owners who love the material, nothing substitutes; for those drawn only to the look, our synthetic shake guide lays out the alternative honestly. We start with a free, written estimate and a photo-documented inspection. No deductible gets waived on our jobs, per Texas law, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Is Your Bedford Home a Cedar Candidate?
The age of the house shapes the answer. About 38 percent of Bedford homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates to 1983, so the decking and attic ventilation under a new cedar roof are often decades old. We check both, because cedar that cannot breathe ages fast. Then there is the weather. Hail an inch across or larger has hit within 5 miles of Bedford in 14 of the last 20 years, and the largest stone on record was 3.0 inches on April 13, 2007. Owners who pick cedar here should plan on a documented inspection after each major storm. Our crews work throughout Tarrant County, including nearby Euless and North Richland Hills.
