You get a roof that handles everything Long Island weather throws at it. Cedar naturally resists wind, rain, snow, and pests while looking better with age.
Your energy bills drop thanks to cedar’s natural insulation properties. No more worrying about storm damage or frequent repairs.

You get new cedar roof installation, cedar roof replacement, and cedar shake repairs. Our service includes hand-split cedar shakes, tapersawn cedar shakes, and fire-treated cedar shingles for enhanced protection.
North Bay Shore’s coastal location demands materials that resist salt air and moisture. Cedar’s natural preservatives handle these conditions while providing superior insulation compared to standard roofing materials.
We also install synthetic cedar alternatives for homeowners wanting cedar’s appearance with reduced maintenance. Every installation includes proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation systems designed for Long Island’s climate.
Cedar roofs typically last 30-50 years in North Bay Shore when properly installed and maintained. The coastal climate actually benefits cedar because the natural oils and tannins in Western Red Cedar resist moisture and decay.
Cedar’s performance in Suffolk County’s weather conditions is exceptional. The material withstands strong winds, heavy rains, and snow loads while developing a protective patina that enhances weather resistance over time.
Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly. This includes periodic inspections, prompt repair of damaged shakes, and proper treatment to maintain cedar’s natural protective qualities.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn, creating a rustic, textured appearance with natural irregularities. They’re thicker than shingles and provide superior weather protection and insulation.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for uniform thickness and smooth surfaces. They offer a more refined appearance while maintaining cedar’s natural benefits like pest resistance and durability.
Both options work well in North Bay Shore, but shakes typically last longer and handle coastal weather conditions better due to their thickness and natural texture that sheds water effectively.
Cedar roof installation costs vary based on roof size, cedar grade, and complexity of the installation. Premium Western Red Cedar costs more upfront but delivers superior longevity and performance.
The investment pays back through energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and increased property value. Cedar roofs often add significant resale value to North Bay Shore homes.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs transparently. Our team explains different cedar options and their long-term value to help you make an informed decision.
Cedar roofs excel in Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. The material naturally resists wind uplift, and properly installed cedar shakes interlock to create a weathertight barrier against rain and snow.
Cedar’s flexibility prevents cracking during temperature changes, while its natural preservatives resist rot and insect damage. The material actually becomes more weather-resistant as it ages and develops its protective patina.
We install cedar roofs with enhanced fastening systems and proper underlayment to handle coastal storms. Our installation meets or exceeds local building codes for wind resistance and weather protection.
Cedar roofs need periodic inspection and maintenance, but less than you might expect. The coastal environment actually helps cedar weather naturally into its protective silver-gray finish.
Key maintenance includes removing debris from gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and replacing any damaged shakes promptly. Annual inspections help identify small issues before they become major problems.
Professional maintenance every few years ensures optimal performance. This includes checking flashings, cleaning moss or algae if present, and applying treatments if desired to maintain specific color preferences.
Cedar is inherently eco-friendly as a renewable, biodegradable material sourced from sustainably managed forests. It requires no chemical treatments to resist pests and decay naturally.
The insulation properties reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling. At the end of its lifespan, cedar can be recycled or composted, unlike synthetic roofing materials.
We offer responsibly sourced Western Red Cedar and synthetic cedar alternatives for homeowners prioritizing environmental sustainability. Both options provide excellent performance while supporting green building practices.
