You’re not looking for the cheapest roof—you want one that actually works. Cedar roofing delivers natural insulation that cuts your energy bills by up to 50% compared to standard asphalt. Your home stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and looks stunning year-round.
When installed correctly, premium cedar roofs last 40-50 years while requiring minimal repairs. The natural oils in Western Red Cedar resist insects, rot, and weather damage that destroy other roofing materials. You get authentic beauty that actually improves with age, turning from rich browns to elegant silver-gray weathering.
Most importantly, cedar roofing significantly increases your property value. Bayport homeowners consistently see higher resale values and faster sales when they invest in quality cedar roofing that buyers actually want.
We’re not another fly-by-night roofing company. SkyLuxe Construction Inc is a family business that’s been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, specializing in exterior renovations that actually last.
Every cedar roof project gets personal oversight from our experienced team. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques because we know Bayport’s climate demands both beauty and performance. Our fully licensed and insured contractors understand Suffolk County building codes and weather patterns that affect cedar roof longevity.
You’ll find our work throughout Bayport and surrounding areas—homes where cedar roofs still look great years after installation. That’s because we use premium-grade Western Red Cedar and proper installation methods, not shortcuts that cause problems later.
Your cedar roof project starts with a thorough inspection and honest assessment of your current roof. We explain exactly what needs to be done and provide detailed pricing upfront—no hidden costs or surprise charges later.
During installation, we remove old roofing materials down to the deck, inspect for any structural issues, and install proper underlayment designed for cedar systems. Each cedar shake or shingle gets individually placed and secured using proper spacing and nailing techniques that prevent future problems.
We handle all permits, inspections, and cleanup so you don’t have to. The entire process typically takes 3-5 days depending on roof size, and we keep you informed every step of the way. You get a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our high standards before we consider the job complete.

We offer complete cedar roofing services including new installations, full replacements, and repairs. Whether you need hand-split cedar shakes for that rustic look or precision-cut cedar shingles for a more refined appearance, we source premium Western Red Cedar that performs in Suffolk County’s climate.
Our cedar roofing options include fire-treated shingles for enhanced safety, tapersawn shakes for traditional aesthetics, and synthetic cedar alternatives that offer cedar’s beauty with reduced maintenance. We also handle specialized applications like cedar roof restoration and individual shingle replacement.
Bayport’s coastal location creates unique challenges for roofing materials. Our cedar installations include proper ventilation systems, moisture barriers, and flashing details specifically designed for Long Island’s humidity and storm patterns. This attention to local conditions is why our cedar roofs last decades while others fail prematurely.
A properly installed cedar roof in Bayport typically lasts 40-50 years with regular maintenance. The key is using premium-grade Western Red Cedar and correct installation techniques that account for Suffolk County’s humidity and weather patterns.
Lower-grade cedar or improper installation can reduce lifespan to 15-20 years. That’s why we only use #1 grade cedar heartwood and follow manufacturer specifications for spacing, ventilation, and underlayment. Regular cleaning and inspection every few years help maintain optimal performance and appearance.
Cedar shakes are hand-split, creating a rustic, textured appearance with natural irregularities. Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a more uniform, refined look. Both offer the same durability and weather resistance when properly installed.
Shakes typically cost slightly more due to the hand-splitting process and tend to have a thicker profile. Shingles offer cleaner lines that work well with colonial and contemporary home styles. We help you choose based on your home’s architecture and personal preferences.
The installation process is similar for both, but shakes require slightly different spacing due to their irregular thickness. Both options provide excellent insulation and weather protection for Bayport homes.
Cedar roof installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $8-15 per square foot depending on roof complexity, cedar grade, and specific requirements. This includes removal of old roofing, proper underlayment, premium cedar materials, and professional installation.
While cedar costs more upfront than asphalt, it lasts 2-3 times longer and provides superior insulation that reduces energy costs. Many homeowners recover the additional investment through energy savings and increased property value within 10-15 years.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Cedar roofs need periodic cleaning to prevent moss and algae growth, especially in Bayport’s humid coastal environment. We recommend professional cleaning every 3-5 years and annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become major problems.
Basic maintenance includes keeping gutters clean, trimming overhanging branches, and removing debris that traps moisture. Damaged or loose shingles should be replaced promptly to prevent water infiltration.
With proper care, cedar roofs in Suffolk County maintain their beauty and performance for decades. We provide maintenance guidelines and can perform regular inspections to keep your investment protected.
Modern cedar roofing includes fire-retardant treatments that significantly improve fire resistance while maintaining cedar’s natural beauty. These treatments are applied during manufacturing and meet current building codes for residential construction.
Fire-treated cedar shingles have passed rigorous testing and are approved for use in most residential areas. The treatment penetrates the wood fibers and remains effective throughout the roof’s lifespan without affecting appearance or durability.
We recommend fire-treated cedar for all installations and can explain the specific fire ratings and building code requirements for your Bayport property. This provides peace of mind while preserving the authentic cedar aesthetic you want.
Yes, we regularly perform partial cedar roof replacements and individual shingle repairs. The key is matching the existing cedar grade, cut style, and weathering to maintain consistent appearance across your roof.
New cedar starts lighter in color but weathers to match existing shingles within 6-12 months. We can also accelerate the weathering process using safe treatments that help new sections blend more quickly with the existing roof.
Partial replacement works well when damage is localized to specific areas from storms or wear. We assess the overall roof condition to determine if partial replacement makes sense or if full replacement would be more cost-effective long-term.
