Cedarworks, Inc.

Cedarworks, Inc. — trading as Cedarworks Cape Cod — is an exterior construction and remodeling contractor based in Brewster and Eastham, reachable at PO Box 1229, Brewster, MA 02631 and 508.648.6117. The company holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 176751, verified active against the state registry with CEDARWORKS INC as the holder of record. Its site names Chris Yerkes as the owner and says he personally manages his crews on every project, with over twenty years of experience. The work is cedar-country work: cedar and asphalt roofing, cedar shingle and clapboard siding, and exterior projects from doors, windows, sliders and skylights through to custom decks — storage sheds up to coastal houses, as the company puts it. It says it is certified by the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau, describes itself as the exclusive CSSB cedar roof warranty provider in Massachusetts, and says it offers a 20-year limited lifetime warranty with every cedar roof it installs. It also lists a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor's License, #CS-104167, which is the company's own claim and is not registry-verified here. The independent record is real but small: three reviews on file from 2022 to 2025 and a 4.9-star Google average from eight ratings. In a 2023 review a homeowner described a ridge cap repair done at a reasonable price with everything cleaned up nicely; a 2022 reviewer said the roof was patched up in no time; and a 2025 reviewer described calling with maintenance questions and being walked through the steps patiently rather than being sold a job. Municipal records back the trade up — a March 2023 Chatham building permit lists the company stripping an existing roof and replacing it with western red cedar shingles, and a 2025 Brewster historic district commission agenda lists Chris Yerkes of Cedarworks Inc. on an exterior alteration. What to weigh is the size of that record rather than anything in it. Eight Google ratings and three written reviews is a thin base, and the written accounts describe repairs and advice rather than the large re-side and re-roof jobs the company markets. Ask to see recent full cedar roof or sidewall projects, and get the CSSB warranty terms in writing.
