Your cedar roof includes everything needed for Long Island’s demanding weather. We use Western Red Cedar that’s specifically selected for its natural resistance to decay and insects. All fasteners are corrosion-resistant to handle the coastal salt exposure that destroys standard hardware.
For Calverton homeowners, we stock both traditional cedar shingles and rustic hand-split shakes. Fire-treated options are available for areas with specific requirements. Our synthetic cedar alternatives give you the authentic cedar look with even lower maintenance needs and enhanced durability.
Every installation includes proper underlayment designed for Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat. We handle all permits required by local building codes and provide manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee. You get complete protection for your investment with ongoing support after installation.
Cedar roofing in Calverton typically costs between $12,000 and $20,000 for an average home, depending on size and complexity. While this represents a higher upfront investment than asphalt, cedar lasts significantly longer and provides better energy efficiency that saves money over time.
The cost includes premium Western Red Cedar materials, specialized installation techniques, and proper underlayment for Suffolk County’s climate. Most homeowners find the investment worthwhile when they consider cedar’s 30-50 year lifespan, energy savings, and the substantial value it adds to their property.
We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional features like fire treatment or synthetic options. Financing is available to help make this premium roofing choice more accessible for Suffolk County families.
A properly installed cedar roof in Suffolk County typically lasts 30-50 years, significantly longer than asphalt shingles. The key is professional installation and appropriate maintenance for our coastal climate conditions.
Cedar’s natural properties make it ideal for Long Island weather. It resists the salt air that corrodes other materials and handles temperature extremes without splitting or warping. The wood actually becomes more weather-resistant as it ages and develops its protective silver-gray patina.
Regular inspections every few years help identify any maintenance needs early. With proper care, many cedar roofs in our area have lasted well beyond their expected lifespan, making them an excellent long-term investment for Calverton homeowners.
Cedar roofing in Calverton requires some maintenance, but it’s designed to handle coastal conditions better than most materials. The main considerations are preventing moss growth and ensuring proper drainage around your home.
We recommend annual inspections to check for any loose shingles or debris accumulation. Moss or algae growth should be addressed promptly since these organisms can retain moisture against the wood. Professional cleaning every few years keeps your roof looking great and performing properly.
The good news is that cedar naturally resists the salt air that damages other roofing materials. Many of our Calverton customers find that cedar actually requires less maintenance than they expected, especially compared to the constant repairs needed with cheaper materials.
We strongly recommend complete removal of existing roofing before installing cedar. While layover installation might seem cost-effective, it creates problems that outweigh any initial savings and can void your warranty.
Cedar needs proper ventilation and a solid, even surface for optimal performance. Installing over old shingles traps moisture, creates uneven surfaces, and prevents proper inspection of the roof deck. This can lead to premature failure and expensive repairs down the road.
Complete tear-off allows us to inspect and repair the roof deck if needed, install proper underlayment, and ensure your cedar roof performs as designed. The small additional cost for removal pays for itself through better performance and longevity.
Cedar roofing provides excellent energy efficiency for Suffolk County homes. The natural wood offers up to twice the insulation value of asphalt shingles, helping reduce both heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Cedar’s cellular structure creates natural air pockets that provide insulation while allowing the roof to breathe. This helps regulate attic temperatures, reducing strain on your HVAC system during hot summers and cold winters that are common in our area.
Many of our Calverton customers notice lower energy bills after cedar installation. The initial investment often pays for itself over time through energy savings, especially when combined with cedar’s long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a uniform, refined appearance that works well with traditional and contemporary home styles. They provide a clean, consistent look that many Calverton homeowners prefer for suburban settings and modern architectural styles.
Cedar shakes are hand-split, creating a thicker, more rustic texture with natural variations. Each shake is unique, giving your roof a distinctive character that’s popular for homes seeking a more natural, traditional appearance that complements Long Island’s coastal aesthetic.
Both options provide the same durability and weather resistance for Suffolk County conditions. The choice usually comes down to your home’s architectural style and personal preference. We can show you samples of both and help you decide which option best complements your Calverton home’s design.
