Cape Cod Home Gets a Full Exterior Upgrade with Cedar Shingles and Architectural Roofing

This one came out exactly the way it should. We partnered with Gabriel and the crew at G.I.P. Construction and Remodeling Inc. to deliver a full exterior on this classic Cape Cod-style home - and every material choice was made to hold up and look sharp for years to come.

On the roof, we installed CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles. These aren't your basic three-tab shingles. Landmark shingles have a dimensional, layered look that adds real depth to a roofline - and they're built to handle the wind, salt air, and weather that Cape Cod homes deal with constantly. That matters a lot out here.

The cedar shingle siding ties the whole exterior together. Cedar is a natural fit for the region - it's what Cape Cod homes have been clad in for generations. Paired with clean AZEK trim throughout, you get that timeless look without sacrificing durability. AZEK doesn't rot, warp, or need constant repainting. It just holds up.

What makes this one stand out is how well everything works together. The roofing, the siding, the trim - nothing feels like an afterthought. When you team up with the right general contractor, the results show. G.I.P. brought the decks, built-in benches, and white railings to life, and our work on the roof and siding complemented it all seamlessly.

This is exactly the kind of exterior that makes sense for Cape Cod homeowners who want something that looks great and doesn't require constant upkeep. Good materials, good collaboration, and attention to the details that actually matter.
