One-Day Roof Replacement on a Dennis Port Cape Cod Cottage

This Dennis Port cottage is about as Cape Cod as it gets - cedar shake siding, brick chimney, hydrangeas out front. It's a classic. And when a home like this needs a new roof, the shingle color has to be right. CertainTeed Cobblestone Gray was the call here, and it fits the character of this place perfectly.

Here's what we're proud of with this one: the whole job was done in a single day. One crew, start to finish. For a homeowner, that matters. No tarps sitting on your lawn for a week. No dragging things out. You wake up with an old roof, you go to bed with a new one.

CertainTeed is one of the most trusted names in roofing for good reason. The Cobblestone Gray colorway has that cool, neutral tone that works especially well on Cape-style homes - it doesn't fight with the natural cedar shakes or the surrounding landscape. It just looks like it belongs.

On the Cape, roofs take a beating. Salt air, wind, wet winters - it all adds up faster than it does inland. Getting ahead of roof problems before they turn into ceiling stains or structural headaches is the smart play. A tight, well-installed roof is your first line of defense against all of it.

We do a lot of work on Cape Cod, and jobs like this one are exactly why we love it. There's real craftsmanship involved in doing a single-family cottage right - getting clean lines, proper flashing around that chimney, and a finished product the homeowner is actually proud of.
