You get a roof that actually lasts. While standard asphalt roofs need replacing every 20 years, your cedar roof protects your home for three to five decades with proper care.
That means fewer disruptions, fewer expenses, and more time enjoying your home instead of worrying about it. Cedar naturally resists the harsh coastal weather Eastport homes face – from hurricane-force winds to salt air moisture.
Your investment pays off through decades of reliable protection, enhanced curb appeal, and increased property value that buyers recognize and pay for.
We bring decades of exterior renovation expertise to every cedar roofing project in Eastport. We’re not just contractors – we’re a family legacy business that treats your home with the same care we’d give our own.
Our team understands Suffolk County’s unique challenges, from coastal humidity to severe weather patterns. We’ve seen how proper cedar installation protects homes through decades of Long Island storms.
When you choose us, you get personal oversight from our owner Al, who inspects every project to ensure it meets our family’s standards for quality and craftsmanship.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure to ensure it can support cedar’s weight and longevity. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered mid-project.
Next comes material selection. We help you choose between cedar shingles and hand-split shakes, explaining the differences in appearance, cost, and maintenance so you make the right choice for your Eastport home.
Installation happens with meticulous attention to proper ventilation, weatherproofing, and alignment. Each cedar piece is positioned and secured to create a roof that not only looks beautiful but performs flawlessly through decades of coastal weather. We clean up completely and conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards.

Your cedar roofing service includes everything needed for long-term performance. We handle structural assessment, proper underlayment installation, precision cedar placement, and comprehensive weatherproofing.
In Eastport’s coastal environment, we pay special attention to moisture barriers and ventilation systems that prevent the humidity issues that can affect lesser installations. Your roof gets treatments that enhance cedar’s natural resistance to salt air and seasonal temperature swings.
We also provide guidance on maintenance schedules specific to Long Island’s climate, helping you protect your investment and maximize your roof’s 30-50 year lifespan. Every installation includes our workmanship guarantee and ongoing support.
Cedar roofs in Eastport typically last 30-50 years with proper maintenance, significantly longer than asphalt shingles which need replacement every 20 years. Cedar’s natural properties make it particularly well-suited for coastal environments.
The salt air and humidity that can damage other roofing materials actually help cedar age gracefully into an attractive silver-gray patina. Cedar naturally resists moisture, decay, and insects – critical advantages in Suffolk County’s climate.
Regular maintenance every few years, including cleaning and occasional treatments, helps maximize this lifespan and keeps your roof performing at its best through decades of Long Island weather.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a uniform, refined appearance that works well with traditional and contemporary home styles. They’re typically thinner and create clean, straight lines across your roof.
Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a rustic, textured appearance with natural variations in thickness and grain patterns. Shakes create more dramatic shadow lines and work particularly well on Cape Cod and colonial-style homes common in Eastport.
Both options provide excellent durability and weather resistance. The choice often comes down to your home’s architectural style and your personal preference for either a polished or rustic aesthetic. We help you evaluate both options during your consultation.
Cedar roof installation in Eastport typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000 for an average home, depending on roof size, complexity, and material grade selected. While this represents a higher upfront investment than asphalt, the long-term value is substantial.
Consider that asphalt roofs needing replacement every 20 years could cost $30,000+ over cedar’s 30-50 year lifespan. Cedar also increases your home’s resale value, with buyers recognizing and paying premium for quality roofing.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down materials, labor, and any structural modifications needed. No hidden costs or surprise charges – just honest pricing for quality work that protects your home for decades.
Cedar roofs are exceptionally well-suited for Long Island’s challenging weather conditions, including hurricane-force winds, heavy rains, and coastal storms. Cedar’s natural strength and flexibility help it withstand severe weather that damages other roofing materials.
Properly installed cedar roofing has proven performance in winds exceeding 100 mph. The interlocking installation method and cedar’s natural resilience create a roof system that flexes with wind loads rather than breaking or tearing away.
Cedar also handles temperature extremes well, expanding and contracting without cracking or splitting. Combined with proper installation techniques specific to coastal environments, your cedar roof provides reliable protection through whatever weather Suffolk County delivers.
Cedar roofing in Eastport requires minimal maintenance compared to other premium roofing materials, but some care helps maximize its lifespan. The coastal environment actually benefits cedar by providing natural moisture that prevents excessive drying.
Annual inspection for debris removal and occasional cleaning to prevent moss or algae growth keeps your roof performing optimally. Every few years, we recommend professional assessment to check for any individual shingles that might need replacement.
Unlike other materials that require frequent repairs or treatments, cedar’s natural properties handle coastal conditions well. Most maintenance involves simple preventive care rather than major interventions, making it surprisingly low-maintenance for such a long-lasting roof.
