We recently installed cedar shingles on a mansard roof in Lawrence Park, Toronto.  The video slideshow showcases the impressive improvement in the semi-detached homes exterior appearance due to the cedar shingles. 

A client had initially contacted us with intentions to replace the shingle portion of her roof.  But upon further discussion with the client we learned she and her neighbour were considering remodelling the exterior of their homes, so we suggested they have us install cedar shingles on the mansard.  Installing the cedar shingles on just the mansard portion is a lot more cost effective, yet drastically improves the home's exterior appearance.  The clients then requested we build a triangular design around the top of the mansard which we built from wood beams.  The wood beams will eventually be painted white to match the all new white metal work we installed which included new fascia, soffits and metal capping around the windows.  For the sloped sections of the roof we installed the Certainteed Landmark asphalt shingle in georgetown gray.  The newly completed roofing project definitely adds character to both the clients homes and the neighbourhood and draws much attention from neighbourhood residents.  We are glad our client is extremely pleased with the result of our suggestions.  Below is a photo gallery of the project.
