You’re not just getting siding—you’re getting a barrier that actually works against Suffolk County’s harsh winters, humid summers, and those unpredictable coastal storms that hit Long Island every year.
Cedar siding installation done right means your heating bills drop because real wood insulates better than vinyl ever will. Your home value goes up because cedar ages beautifully instead of looking cheap after five years.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your exterior can handle whatever weather Suffolk County throws at it, from January’s 37-mph winds to summer’s humidity and everything in between.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t another contractor who showed up last year. We’re a family business that’s been handling exterior renovations in Suffolk County for decades, and we understand exactly what Babylon homes need to survive here.
We’ve seen what happens when cedar siding gets installed by contractors who don’t understand Long Island weather. That’s why every cedar siding installation project gets personal oversight from our team—because your home deserves better than cookie-cutter work.
You’ll work directly with people who live here, understand Suffolk County building requirements, and have the licenses and insurance to back up every job we complete.
First, we assess your current siding situation and measure everything precisely. Suffolk County weather demands exact installation, so we don’t rush this step.
Next, we remove old siding carefully to avoid damage to your home’s structure. We inspect the underlying surface, address any moisture issues, and ensure proper house wrap installation for maximum weather protection.
Then comes the cedar siding installation itself. We use proper fastening techniques, ensure adequate ventilation, and seal everything correctly so your siding performs as intended for decades. Every board gets positioned to handle Suffolk County’s temperature swings and moisture levels.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through maintenance recommendations so your cedar siding continues looking great and protecting your Babylon home year after year.

Cedar siding handles Suffolk County’s climate better than most people realize. Those temperature swings from 23 degrees in January to 81 degrees in July? Cedar expands and contracts naturally without cracking like other materials.
The 48 inches of annual rainfall and coastal humidity that damage vinyl siding over time? Cedar is naturally water-resistant and actually gets stronger when properly maintained. Plus, it’s naturally resistant to the insects that can damage other wood products.
For Babylon homeowners specifically, cedar siding installation provides excellent insulation properties that help with those Long Island energy costs. The natural wood absorbs sound better too, which matters if you’re near busier areas or the water.
Most importantly, cedar siding ages beautifully instead of looking dated. While vinyl fades and warps, properly installed cedar develops character that actually increases your home’s curb appeal and value over time.
Properly installed cedar siding typically lasts 20-40 years in Suffolk County, depending on maintenance and weather exposure. The key is professional installation that accounts for Long Island’s specific climate challenges.
Cedar’s natural properties help it handle Suffolk County’s temperature swings, coastal humidity, and storm conditions better than many alternatives. Regular maintenance like staining every 3-5 years and addressing minor issues quickly extends its lifespan significantly.
Our cedar siding installations include proper ventilation and moisture barriers specifically designed for Suffolk County conditions, which helps maximize durability and performance over time.
Cedar siding installation in Babylon typically ranges from $8-16 per square foot, depending on the cedar grade, style, and complexity of your home’s design. A typical 2,500 square foot home runs $15,000-40,000 for complete cedar siding installation.
The investment makes sense when you consider cedar’s energy efficiency benefits, which can lower heating and cooling costs over time. Plus, cedar siding typically increases home value more than vinyl or other alternatives.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that include all materials, labor, permits, and cleanup so you know exactly what cedar siding installation will cost for your specific Babylon home.
Cedar siding maintenance is straightforward but important for Long Island homes. You’ll need to stain or seal it every 3-5 years and inspect it annually for any issues that need addressing.
The maintenance schedule depends on your home’s exposure to weather and sun. South-facing sides typically need attention more frequently than protected areas. Regular cleaning and prompt attention to minor issues prevent bigger problems.
Compared to constant vinyl repairs or frequent painting of other materials, cedar maintenance is actually quite manageable. The key is staying consistent with the schedule and addressing small issues before they become expensive problems.
Yes, properly installed cedar siding performs well in Suffolk County storms when installed by experienced contractors who understand local weather patterns. Cedar’s natural flexibility helps it handle wind loads better than rigid materials.
The key is professional installation with proper fastening, adequate ventilation, and correct moisture barriers. We’ve seen cedar siding survive major storms that damaged other siding types because it was installed correctly from the start.
Since Suffolk County has experienced 45 hurricanes since 1930, including recent storms like Sandy and Irene, we install cedar siding with these conditions in mind. Proper installation techniques make all the difference in storm performance.
Popular cedar siding styles for Babylon homes include cedar shake, clapboard, and board-and-batten installations. The choice depends on your home’s architecture, personal preference, and budget considerations.
Cedar shake provides the most traditional Long Island look and offers excellent weather protection. Clapboard cedar gives a more refined appearance while still providing natural wood benefits. Board-and-batten works well for contemporary or farmhouse-style homes.
We help you choose the cedar siding style that complements your home’s existing architecture while providing the weather protection and energy efficiency your Babylon property needs.
Look for contractors with specific Suffolk County experience, proper licensing, and insurance coverage. Ask to see recent cedar siding installations in similar weather conditions and get references from local customers.
Reliable contractors provide detailed written estimates, explain their installation process clearly, and understand Long Island building codes and weather requirements. They should also offer warranties on both materials and workmanship.
Red flags include door-to-door sales, pressure tactics, or contractors who can’t provide local references. The best cedar siding contractors have established reputations in Suffolk County and transparent business practices you can verify.
