Company Background

Founded in 1992 by Tammy and Jim Longfellow, Longfellow's Cedar Shingles is a family-run mill in Windsor, Maine, dedicated to producing the region's best cedar shingles. Built around family life, the business combines Jim's passion for quality with specialized machinery, including Maine's only state-of-the-art re-butting and re-squaring machine, ensuring each shingle is perfectly squared for a clean installation with minimal waste. Using locally grown Northern white cedar, the shingles are cut, graded, and carefully air-dried on-site to preserve the wood's structural integrity and natural weathering properties. This process creates durable, low-maintenance roofing and siding that offers insulation, sound barrier, and resistance to insects and fungus. Available natural, pre-stained, pre-finished, or pressure treated, Longfellow's shingles are trusted by homeowners from Maine to Florida and Colorado for their lasting beauty and reliability.

Questions and Answers

How do cedar shingles from Longfellow's help with common local roofing issues like moisture and flashing problems?

For Windsor homeowners dealing with moisture from roof insulation or flashing separation, our Northern white cedar shingles offer a natural solution. The wood's inherent properties allow it to breathe, helping to manage moisture and reduce the risk of trapped condensation that can compromise insulation. When installed correctly with proper flashing techniques, our precisely squared shingles create a tight, layered barrier that sheds water effectively and minimizes gaps where separation can occur. This results in a more resilient roof suited to Maine's climate.

What makes Longfellow's cedar shingles different from other options?

The difference starts in our Windsor mill. We use locally sourced Northern white cedar and process every shingle with Maine's only dedicated re-butting and re-squaring machine. This ensures each piece is perfectly squared for a cleaner, tighter installation with less waste. We then carefully air-dry the shingles to lock in the wood's natural strength and classic weathering character. It's a hands-on, quality-focused approach you won't find at larger suppliers.

Do you offer shingles that are ready for installation, or do they require finishing?

We provide options to suit your project needs. You can choose our shingles in their natural state for a traditional, weathering look. For added convenience and immediate color, we also offer shingles that are pre-stained, pre-finished, or pressure treated. This allows Windsor homeowners and contractors to select the best product for their timeline and desired aesthetic, whether it's a new build or a restoration.
