ABOUT DIRECT CEDAR SUPPLIES

For over 30 years, Direct Cedar Supplies Ltd. has been a trusted manufacturer and broker of premium quality cedar shakes & shingles for roofing and siding. Located in the heart of cedar country, we proudly supply the highest quality cedar to homeowners, contractors, builders and architects across North America and the world. As proud members of the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau, we are here to provide you with the latest information on installation, product quality, and all the ways to make your siding or roofing perform the way it’s meant to.

Our team here at Direct Cedar Supplies has over a century of experience in the industry between us. Elliot Chapleo, the owner and founder of Direct Cedar Supplies, grew up in the cedar industry, where he began working in a shake and shingle mill when he was just 14, starting off with piling shake and shingle blocks for the sawyers before growing up and expanding his horizons to cutting, splitting and flying shake blocks out of the bushes of British Columbia.

He opened our first shingle mill back in 1995 where he brought on a young Paul Willson to be his very first sawyer.  From sawyer to packer to cuber-man to foreman, Paul spent years learning every facet of the production side of the business before moving into sales for Direct Cedar Supplies back in 2011.  Michelle McNicol joined our sales team back in 2022, after spending 24 years helping to operate the biggest CCA treatment plant here in Canada, where she not only mastered everything there is to know about the treatment process, but also built strong relationships with all of the mills in the industry.  It is those strong relationships that our team maintain that allow us to get you the highest quality products, at the best prices, with the lowest lead times.  Let us be your eyes and ears on the ground at the mill.  And let us answer any questions you may have about material selection, production, installation or maintenance.

We offer every size, grade and finish of Western Red Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Eastern White Cedar shakes and shingles. Whether you need roofing or siding, smooth sawn or hand-split, treated or pre-stained – if it is available we can ship direct to your door from our many partner mills across North America. We can supply all the accessories necessary to finish your project as well so you don’t have to run around trying to find everything you’ll need. From pre-assembled hip & ridge caps to felt to fasteners to cedar breather, let us be your one stop shop for your next cedar project.

We know that in this day and age there is no shortage of safety and building code requirements involved with any build or remodel. Chief among them with cedar, is fire safety. We have a great and long-standing relationship with Fire Smart Roofing™, the industry leader in fire-retardant treatment. If the code in your area requires that your roof be fire-rated, we have got you covered
