Your cedar roof does more than just look incredible—though watching it weather to that signature silver-gray is pretty satisfying. You’re getting a roofing system built to last 30-50 years, naturally fights off moisture and insects, and keeps your energy bills lower through superior insulation.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate is tough on roofs. Salt air, humidity, nor’easters, summer storms—your cedar shingles handle it all while other materials start showing their age.
The natural insulation keeps your home comfortable without your HVAC system working overtime. You’ll feel the difference in comfort and see it in your monthly bills.
SkyLuxe Construction has been protecting Suffolk County homes with quality exterior renovations for years. We’re a family business that understands what Brookhaven homeowners really need—reliable protection that actually adds value to your property.
We’ve installed cedar roofing from Port Jefferson to Patchogue, handling everything from beachfront properties dealing with salt spray to inland homes facing variable weather. Every project gets personal attention because that’s how we’ve always done business.
Our team knows Brookhaven inside and out. Building codes, weather patterns, neighborhood styles—we live and work here too. When you call SkyLuxe Construction, you’re working with people who understand your community.
We start by thoroughly inspecting your current roof structure. No guesswork—we check everything that could affect your new cedar installation and explain exactly what we find.
Then comes choosing your cedar. Hand-split cedar shakes for that rustic texture? Machine-cut cedar shingles for clean lines? Fire-treated options for safety requirements? We walk through the choices based on your home and priorities.
Installation follows methods we’ve refined through years of Suffolk County projects. We protect your property, install proper drainage and ventilation, then place each piece of cedar for maximum weather resistance and longevity. When we’re done, your property is spotless and your roof is ready for decades of protection.

We handle every aspect of cedar roofing—new installations, repairs, maintenance, and upgrades. Whether you need Western Red Cedar shakes, traditional cedar shingles, or fire-treated materials, we match the right cedar to your specific situation.
Brookhaven’s coastal location requires contractors who understand salt air effects, moisture management, and proper ventilation. We install cedar systems that resist the humidity and weather patterns common to Suffolk County while maintaining structural integrity for decades.
Cedar roof repairs are one of our specialties. Individual damaged shakes or shingles can be replaced without affecting surrounding areas—one of cedar’s major advantages. Our repair work matches existing materials and installation methods so you’d never know work was done.
Cedar roofs regularly last 30-50 years in Suffolk County when properly installed and maintained. The natural oils in cedar resist moisture, decay, and insects that cause problems for other materials in our humid, salt-air environment.
Maintenance makes a huge difference in longevity. Annual cleaning to remove debris, addressing any moss growth early, and replacing individual damaged pieces keeps your roof performing optimally. Cedar’s natural resistance to weather makes it ideal for Long Island’s variable conditions.
Professional installation is critical. Proper underlayment, ventilation, and flashing protect against moisture issues that can shorten any roof’s lifespan, regardless of material quality.
Cedar shakes are hand-split with irregular, textured surfaces that create deep shadow lines and natural character. They’re thicker and give you that traditional cottage or rustic look that works beautifully on Brookhaven’s historic and coastal properties.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for uniform thickness and smooth surfaces. They provide clean, consistent lines that complement both contemporary and traditional home styles. Both offer excellent weather protection and insulation—the difference is mainly aesthetic.
Your choice usually comes down to the look you want and your home’s architecture. Shakes give more texture and character, while shingles offer refined consistency. Both perform equally well in our Suffolk County climate.
Cedar roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but delivers better long-term value. In our area, cedar installation typically ranges from $8,000 to $18,000 depending on your roof size, cedar grade, and project complexity.
The higher initial cost pays off through longevity and energy savings. Cedar lasts 10+ years longer than asphalt while providing natural insulation that reduces your heating and cooling expenses. Factor in replacement frequency and energy savings, and cedar often costs less over its lifetime.
Cedar also adds property value that basic materials can’t match. The natural beauty and known durability appeal to buyers, making it a smart investment if you’re thinking about selling eventually.
Cedar roofs need regular but simple maintenance to perform their best in our coastal climate. Annual inspections help spot loose or damaged shakes, moss growth, or debris buildup before they become bigger problems.
Keep gutters clean and remove debris from roof valleys to prevent water backup. If you have heavy tree coverage, occasional moss treatment might be needed, though cedar naturally resists most biological growth better than other materials.
The most common maintenance is replacing individual damaged shakes or shingles. Cedar’s installation method makes this straightforward—you can replace problem areas without affecting surrounding sections. Professional maintenance every few years keeps everything performing optimally.
Natural cedar has moderate fire resistance, but fire-treated cedar shakes and shingles are available where enhanced fire safety is required. Fire-treated cedar receives pressure treatment with fire retardants that significantly improve fire resistance ratings.
Suffolk County building codes vary by location, and some areas require fire-rated roofing materials. We help determine what’s required for your specific property and provide fire-treated cedar options that meet or exceed local requirements.
Fire-treated cedar keeps all the benefits of regular cedar—durability, insulation, weather resistance—while adding fire protection. The treatment doesn’t change appearance or how we install it.
Cedar roofing excels in Suffolk County storm conditions when installed correctly. Cedar shakes and shingles actually resist strong winds better than many materials because each piece is individually installed and cedar has natural flexibility.
Proper installation makes all the difference—appropriate underlayment, secure fastening, and correct overlap patterns. Cedar’s natural oils resist moisture penetration during heavy rains, while its flexibility helps it handle wind stress without cracking or breaking.
We’ve seen cedar roofs in Brookhaven weather decades of nor’easters, hurricanes, and severe storms with minimal damage. Regular maintenance and quick repair of any storm damage keeps cedar roofs protecting homes reliably through whatever Suffolk County weather brings.
