Your roof takes a beating from coastal winds, heavy rains, and the occasional hurricane that rolls through Suffolk County. Cedar roofing gives you the kind of protection that actually holds up when it matters most.
Unlike other materials that crack, curl, or blow off in high winds, cedar shakes and shingles are built to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at them. You’re looking at 30 to 50 years of reliable protection when it’s installed right.
The natural oils in Western Red Cedar resist rot, insects, and moisture damage. That means fewer emergency repairs and less stress about whether your roof will hold up during the next storm season.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’re a family business with decades of exterior renovation experience right here in Suffolk County.
Every cedar roof installation gets personal oversight from start to finish. No subcontractors, no corner-cutting, no surprises. Just traditional craftsmanship combined with modern techniques to deliver results that meet the high standards our family name stands for.
We understand Coram’s specific challenges – from the frequent rainfall that can delay projects to the coastal conditions that demand superior materials and installation methods.
First, we’ll assess your current roof condition and discuss your specific needs. No high-pressure sales tactics – just honest evaluation of what your home requires for maximum protection and value.
Next comes material selection. SkyLuxe uses premium #1 Royals cedar shingles, not the lower-grade materials some contractors try to pass off. You’ll see samples and understand exactly what you’re getting before any work begins.
Installation follows precise industry standards with attention to proper ventilation, flashing, and weatherproofing. We handle permits, cleanup, and final inspection so you don’t have to worry about the details. The result is a cedar roof that protects your home and looks incredible for decades to come.

Not all cedar roofing is created equal. We source Western Red Cedar from sustainable forests, ensuring you get the natural durability and beauty that makes cedar worth the investment.
Cedar shake roofing offers that rustic, textured appearance that enhances any architectural style. Cedar shingle roofing provides a more refined, uniform look while delivering the same superior protection. Both options can be fire-treated for additional safety in areas where building codes require it.
In Coram’s climate, where humidity and coastal conditions can challenge lesser materials, cedar’s natural resistance to moisture and insects becomes especially valuable. The initial investment pays dividends through reduced maintenance costs and exceptional longevity that other roofing materials simply can’t match.
A properly installed cedar roof in Coram typically lasts 30 to 50 years, significantly longer than asphalt shingles or other common materials. The key is professional installation and using quality Western Red Cedar.
Cedar’s natural oils provide built-in protection against moisture, rot, and insects – all common challenges in Suffolk County’s coastal climate. With minimal maintenance like periodic cleaning and inspection, your cedar roof will continue protecting your home for decades while maintaining its attractive appearance.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn to create a rustic, textured appearance with natural variations in thickness and grain patterns. They’re typically thicker and provide a more dramatic, traditional look.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut to uniform dimensions, creating a smoother, more refined appearance. Both offer excellent weather protection and durability, but shingles provide a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic while shakes deliver that classic, rustic charm.
The choice often comes down to your home’s architectural style and personal preference. Both perform exceptionally well in Coram’s weather conditions when properly installed.
Cedar roofing typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the long-term value makes it worthwhile for many homeowners. Factors affecting cost include roof size, complexity, material grade, and any necessary structural work.
The investment pays off through cedar’s exceptional longevity, energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance requirements. When you factor in the avoided costs of frequent repairs and premature replacement, cedar often proves more economical over its lifetime.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re investing in and why.
Cedar roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other materials, but some basic care helps maximize its lifespan. Annual inspection and cleaning to remove debris, moss, or algae buildup is recommended, especially given Coram’s frequent rainfall.
Individual damaged shingles can be easily replaced without affecting the entire roof system. This makes repairs simple and cost-effective compared to materials that require larger section replacement.
Professional inspection every few years helps identify any issues early, but cedar’s natural resistance to rot and insects means major problems are rare when the roof is properly installed.
Cedar roofing excels in Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. The natural flexibility and strength of cedar allows it to withstand high winds better than brittle materials that crack or break.
Cedar’s dimensional stability means it won’t warp or curl like some materials do when exposed to temperature fluctuations and humidity changes common in coastal areas. The interlocking installation pattern distributes wind loads effectively across the entire roof system.
Hurricane-force winds and severe storms that damage other roofing materials often leave properly installed cedar roofs intact, making it an excellent choice for Suffolk County’s sometimes unpredictable weather patterns.
SkyLuxe Construction brings decades of Suffolk County exterior renovation experience to every cedar roofing project. As a family-owned business, we provide personal oversight and attention to detail that larger companies can’t match.
We use only premium materials like #1 Royals cedar shingles and follow precise installation standards that ensure your roof performs as intended for decades. Our transparent communication and commitment to on-time completion means no surprises or delays.
Most importantly, we understand Coram’s specific challenges and building requirements. This local expertise, combined with our commitment to quality craftsmanship, delivers cedar roofing results that protect your investment and enhance your home’s value.
