Hear from Our Customers
You get a roof that weathers beautifully instead of just wearing out. Cedar naturally resists insects, rot, and extreme weather while providing superior insulation that cuts your energy costs year after year.
Your home gains that timeless character that only comes from authentic materials. While other roofs fade and crack, cedar develops a distinguished silver-gray patina that enhances your property’s appeal and value.
Most importantly, you’re investing in longevity. Cedar roofing lasts at least 10 years longer than conventional materials, meaning fewer replacements and less disruption to your life.
SkyLuxe Construction brings decades of exterior renovation experience to every cedar roofing project in East Marion. We’re a family-owned business that understands Long Island’s harsh coastal conditions and what it takes to build roofs that truly last.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every project receives personal oversight because our family name is on the line with every roof we install.
Licensed, insured, and committed to transparent communication, we’ve built our reputation on completing projects on time and within budget while exceeding expectations.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure to identify any underlying issues that need addressing. This ensures your new cedar roof has the solid foundation it deserves.
Next, we help you select the right cedar materials – whether Western Red Cedar shingles, hand-split shakes, or tapersawn options – based on your home’s style and your long-term goals. We source only premium-grade materials that meet our quality standards.
Installation follows precise methods developed through decades of experience. Our skilled technicians apply each cedar piece with attention to proper ventilation, weatherproofing, and the coastal wind resistance your East Marion home needs. We complete every project with a final inspection and thorough cleanup.

Your cedar roofing project includes everything needed for lasting performance. We handle new installations, complete replacements, and repairs using the same premium materials and installation standards.
East Marion’s coastal location demands special attention to wind resistance and moisture protection. Our cedar installations include proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation systems designed specifically for Long Island’s challenging weather patterns.
We work with fire-treated cedar shingles where required and offer both traditional and synthetic cedar options. Every installation comes with our guarantee and the peace of mind that comes from working with licensed, insured professionals who stand behind their work.
Cedar roofing typically lasts 30-50 years in East Marion’s coastal environment when properly installed and maintained. The natural oils in Western Red Cedar provide excellent resistance to salt air, moisture, and temperature fluctuations common along Long Island’s coast.
The key to longevity lies in proper installation with adequate ventilation and quality underlayment. Our installations account for East Marion’s specific weather patterns, including nor’easters and hurricane-force winds that can stress roofing materials.
Regular maintenance every few years helps maximize your cedar roof’s lifespan. This includes clearing debris, checking flashing, and replacing any damaged shingles promptly to prevent water infiltration.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn, creating a thicker, more rustic appearance with natural texture variations. They’re typically 3/4 to 1-1/4 inches thick and provide excellent insulation and weather resistance.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a more uniform, refined look. They’re thinner than shakes, usually 3/8 to 3/4 inches thick, and offer a cleaner, more contemporary appearance while still providing cedar’s natural benefits.
Both options perform excellently in East Marion’s climate. Your choice depends on your home’s architectural style and personal preference. We help you select the option that best complements your property while meeting your performance and budget requirements.
Cedar roofing typically costs $7-12 per square foot installed in Suffolk County, depending on the specific cedar type, roof complexity, and current market conditions. A typical 1,500 square foot roof ranges from $10,500 to $18,000 for complete installation.
Several factors affect pricing: hand-split shakes cost more than machine-cut shingles, fire-treated options carry premium pricing, and complex roof lines with multiple angles require additional labor. Premium Western Red Cedar commands higher prices than other cedar species.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs clearly. While cedar represents a significant investment, the longevity, energy savings, and increased property value typically justify the initial expense over the roof’s lifetime.
Cedar roofing in coastal East Marion benefits from annual inspections and periodic cleaning to remove salt buildup and organic debris. The salt air can accelerate wear if moisture gets trapped under accumulated debris.
We recommend clearing gutters and roof valleys regularly, especially after storms. Trim overhanging branches to prevent debris accumulation and ensure adequate air circulation. Check flashing around chimneys and penetrations annually for signs of wear.
Professional maintenance every 3-5 years helps identify and address minor issues before they become major problems. This includes replacing damaged shingles, resealing flashing, and applying protective treatments if needed. Proper maintenance significantly extends your cedar roof’s lifespan in the coastal environment.
Properly installed cedar roofing performs excellently in Long Island’s severe weather when installed with appropriate wind-resistant techniques. Cedar’s natural flexibility and strength help it withstand high winds better than many rigid roofing materials.
The key is proper installation with adequate fastening, quality underlayment, and attention to edge details where wind uplift forces are strongest. We use installation methods specifically designed for coastal wind loads and follow local building codes for hurricane-prone areas.
Cedar shakes and shingles that do suffer storm damage are relatively easy to repair by replacing individual pieces rather than entire sections. This makes post-storm repairs faster and more cost-effective than with many other roofing materials.
Fire-treated cedar shingles and shakes meet Class A fire ratings required in many Suffolk County areas. These products undergo pressure treatment with fire-retardant chemicals that significantly improve their fire resistance while maintaining cedar’s natural appearance and benefits.
Synthetic cedar alternatives offer another fire-safe option that replicates cedar’s appearance without combustibility concerns. These composite materials resist fire, insects, and rot while providing the aesthetic appeal of natural cedar.
Local building codes vary throughout Suffolk County regarding fire ratings for roofing materials. We stay current with all local requirements and help you select the appropriate cedar option that meets both code requirements and your aesthetic preferences while ensuring optimal protection for your East Marion home.
