Professional Cedar Shake Contractor in Foxborough, MA
Western Red Cedar shake and shingle siding installation and replacement across Massachusetts. Alfa Construction re-sides your home's full exterior in hand-split shakes or machine-cut shingles for that classic Cape Cod and historic New England look. We take full-exterior re-sides, not patch jobs.
Why Choose Professional Cedar Shake in Foxborough, Massachusetts?
If your Foxborough home has cedar siding installed 20 or 30 years ago, there is a good chance it was nailed flat with no ventilation and is now failing from behind. Alfa Construction offers Foxborough homeowners a complete cedar replacement — shakes or shingles set on a rear-ventilated wall — that restores the look and finally solves the moisture problem underneath it.
Faded, blotchy cedar is one of the most common complaints we hear from Foxborough homeowners. When re-staining slips past the five-to-seven-year window, the finish breaks down unevenly — bright where it is sheltered, gray and bare where the sun and rain hit hardest — and the home looks neglected even though the cedar itself may still be sound.
Our cedar installation for Foxborough homes includes complete removal of the old material, substrate inspection and replacement, new housewrap, the rear-ventilation furring layer, and course-by-course installation at the correct exposure with stainless fasteners. We do not nail cedar flat and we do not cut corners — the result is a wood wall that performs the way cedar is supposed to.
Cedar Shake Note for Foxborough
Foxborough properties near Patriot Place and Route 1 experience heavier traffic-related grime and salt spray from winter road treatment, making easily cleaned siding materials a practical choice for these locations.

What Are Common Cedar Shake Problems in Foxborough, MA?
Common Problems
- 1
Aging cedar shakes that have cupped, split, or worked loose, leaving gaps where wind-driven rain gets behind the wall
- 2
Cedar siding that was face-nailed flat against the sheathing with no ventilation, trapping moisture and rotting the courses from behind
- 3
Rust streaks bleeding down the wall because the previous installer used cheap fasteners instead of stainless steel on a coastal home
- 4
A blotchy, half-stained, half-bare exterior because re-staining was deferred well past the five-to-seven-year window cedar needs
- 5
Insect-damaged or decayed lower courses where splash-back and ground contact overwhelmed the cedar's natural resistance
Our Solutions
- 1
Full-exterior installation in hand-split Western Red Cedar shakes for a thick, rugged, deeply shadowed wall with maximum texture and character
- 2
Machine-cut cedar shingle installation for a smoother, tighter, more uniform reveal suited to refined Cape Cod and shingle-style homes
- 3
Rear-ventilated furring-strip systems that hold the cedar off the wall so every course can dry from behind — the single biggest factor in a wood wall's lifespan
- 4
Stainless steel fastening throughout on coastal and salt-air exposures so the wall stays clean and never bleeds rust down a fresh course
- 5
Complete cedar re-sides with proper housewrap, flashing, and a factory-applied or job-site stain finish ready to maintain on a predictable schedule
