We offer various cedar siding styles including shakes, shingles, clapboard, and board-and-batten. Each option provides the natural beauty cedar is known for while delivering superior protection against Bay Shore’s coastal environment.
Western red cedar is our most popular choice for its natural resistance to moisture and insects. It handles temperature fluctuations well and maintains its structural integrity through Long Island’s seasonal changes. For homeowners seeking maximum durability, we also offer premium clear-grade options.
All installations include proper weatherproofing, quality flashing, and professional finishing. We source materials from trusted suppliers and back our work with guarantees. Your cedar siding comes with the kind of craftsmanship that lasts—and the local expertise that makes the difference in coastal climates like ours.
Cedar siding typically lasts 20-40 years in Bay Shore’s coastal environment when properly installed and maintained. The key is working with contractors who understand local conditions and use proper installation techniques.
Bay Shore’s salt air and humidity can be challenging, but cedar naturally resists moisture and insects. We use specialized flashing and weatherproofing methods designed for coastal climates. Regular maintenance like cleaning and re-staining every 3-5 years helps maximize lifespan.
Quality installation matters more than anything else. Poor installation can lead to premature failure, while professional work ensures your cedar siding performs as intended for decades.
Cedar siding offers benefits that synthetic materials simply can’t match. Natural wood provides superior insulation, reducing your energy costs year-round. It also absorbs sound better, making your home quieter and more comfortable.
From a value perspective, cedar significantly increases your property’s resale value and marketability. Buyers consistently prefer the authentic look and feel of natural wood over synthetic alternatives. Cedar also ages beautifully, developing character over time rather than looking worn.
Environmental benefits matter too. Cedar is completely biodegradable and requires minimal processing compared to manufactured siding materials. It’s a sustainable choice that performs better and lasts longer than most alternatives.
Cedar siding installation costs vary based on your home’s size, the specific cedar type you choose, and project complexity. Most Bay Shore homeowners invest between $8,500 and $18,700 for a complete cedar siding project on a typical 2,000 square foot home.
Long Island costs run higher than many other regions due to local labor rates and building code requirements. However, cedar’s longevity and energy efficiency benefits often offset the initial investment through reduced maintenance and utility costs over time.
We provide detailed, transparent quotes that include all materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise costs—you’ll know exactly what your project will cost before we begin work.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and inspections as part of our service. Bay Shore has specific requirements for exterior work that we’re familiar with through years of working in the area.
Most cedar siding projects require permits, especially when replacing existing siding or making structural changes. We know local building codes and what inspectors look for, so we schedule inspections at the right phases to avoid delays.
Permit costs are included in your project estimate upfront—no surprise fees. Having proper permits protects you legally and ensures the work meets current safety standards. We take care of all the paperwork so you don’t have to worry about it.
Cedar siding maintenance in Bay Shore’s coastal climate is straightforward but important for maximizing lifespan. The most critical task is cleaning your siding twice yearly to remove salt buildup and prevent moisture issues.
Re-staining or sealing every 3-5 years protects the wood and maintains its appearance. We recommend using high-quality marine-grade finishes designed for coastal environments. This prevents premature weathering and keeps your cedar looking its best.
Minor repairs should be addressed promptly to prevent larger issues. Things like loose boards or damaged caulking are easy fixes when caught early. We provide detailed maintenance guidelines and are always available for questions or service calls.
