You get more than just new siding. You get a home that stands out in Cutchogue’s prestigious North Fork community with natural cedar that actually improves with age.
The coastal winds and salt air that damage other materials barely touch properly installed cedar. Your energy bills drop because cedar provides natural insulation that keeps your home comfortable year-round.
Most importantly, you stop worrying about your home’s exterior. Cedar siding installed right gives you decades of protection with minimal maintenance, letting you enjoy your North Fork lifestyle instead of constantly fixing exterior problems.
We’ve been serving Cutchogue and Suffolk County homeowners for years, specializing in exterior renovations that stand up to Long Island’s unique climate challenges.
We’re fully licensed and insured in Suffolk County, with the certifications and coverage that protect both our team and your property. Our reputation in the Cutchogue community speaks for itself – ask around and you’ll hear about our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
As a local company, we understand what North Fork homes face. The salt air, coastal winds, and temperature swings that can destroy inferior siding installations don’t faze us. We’ve been handling these conditions for years, using proven techniques and premium materials that deliver lasting results.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing siding and underlying structure. This isn’t a quick glance – we check for any moisture damage, structural issues, or preparation work needed before installation begins.
Next, we carefully remove old siding and prepare the surface. Proper preparation is critical for cedar siding longevity, especially in coastal environments. We address any underlying issues and ensure a solid foundation for your new siding.
Installation follows proven techniques developed specifically for Long Island’s climate. We use premium cedar materials and professional-grade fasteners designed to handle coastal conditions. Every board is properly sealed and positioned for maximum weather protection and visual appeal. Finally, we conduct a detailed inspection to ensure everything meets our standards before considering the job complete.

We install multiple cedar siding styles to match your home’s architecture and personal preferences. Cedar shake siding provides that classic New England coastal look that’s perfect for North Fork properties. Cedar shingles offer a more refined appearance while maintaining natural wood character.
For homeowners wanting clean, modern lines, cedar board and batten creates striking vertical patterns. Traditional clapboard cedar siding delivers timeless horizontal appeal that complements both historic and contemporary Cutchogue homes.
All our cedar comes from sustainably managed forests and is specifically selected for coastal installations. We work with premium grades that resist the salt air and moisture challenges unique to Long Island’s North Fork. Each installation includes proper sealing and finishing to ensure your cedar siding weathers beautifully while protecting your home for decades.
Properly installed cedar siding typically lasts 20-40 years in coastal environments like Cutchogue, often longer with regular maintenance. The key is professional installation that accounts for salt air and moisture challenges.
Cedar naturally resists many issues that plague other siding materials in coastal areas. Its natural oils provide protection against moisture and insects, while proper installation techniques ensure water doesn’t get behind the siding where it can cause problems.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning and re-staining or sealing every 3-5 years, depending on exposure. This maintenance schedule is actually less intensive than what many other siding materials require in our coastal climate.
Cedar shakes are split from logs, creating a rough, rustic texture with natural variations in thickness and surface. This gives homes a more casual, organic appearance that’s popular in coastal and country settings.
Cedar shingles are sawn smooth, providing a more uniform appearance with cleaner lines. They offer a refined look while still maintaining the natural beauty of wood grain and color variation.
Both options perform excellently in Cutchogue’s climate, so the choice usually comes down to aesthetic preference and your home’s architectural style. We can show you samples of both to help you decide which complements your property best.
Cedar siding installation typically costs $16-18 per square foot in the Cutchogue area, though final pricing depends on your home’s specific requirements, siding style chosen, and any prep work needed.
Factors affecting cost include the condition of existing siding, accessibility of your home, architectural complexity, and finishing options selected. Coastal installations may require additional prep work to ensure proper moisture protection.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees – just clear pricing so you can make informed decisions about your home improvement investment.
Cedar siding in coastal areas like Cutchogue needs regular cleaning and periodic re-finishing to maintain its appearance and protection. This typically means washing annually and re-staining or sealing every 3-5 years.
Salt air can accelerate weathering, so coastal cedar installations benefit from slightly more frequent maintenance than inland properties. However, cedar’s natural resistance to moisture and insects makes it one of the better choices for our climate.
We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your installation and can recommend local-friendly stains and sealers that perform well in North Fork conditions. Proper maintenance keeps your cedar looking beautiful while extending its lifespan significantly.
In most cases, we remove existing siding before installing cedar to ensure proper installation and maximum longevity. This allows us to inspect the underlying structure and address any moisture or structural issues.
Installing over existing siding can trap moisture and create problems down the road, especially in coastal environments where proper moisture management is critical. It also adds unnecessary weight and can affect the final appearance.
The removal process gives us the opportunity to upgrade insulation, address any underlying issues, and ensure your new cedar siding has the solid foundation it needs to perform well for decades in Cutchogue’s challenging climate.
Cedar offers natural beauty that synthetic materials simply cannot match, with unique grain patterns and color variations that make each installation distinctive. It’s also environmentally friendly, being renewable and biodegradable unlike manufactured alternatives.
From a performance standpoint, cedar provides excellent insulation properties, helping reduce energy costs. It’s also naturally resistant to insects and decay when properly maintained, making it ideal for Long Island’s climate challenges.
While cedar requires periodic maintenance, many homeowners find the natural aging process beautiful and appreciate having a truly natural material protecting their home. The longevity and timeless appeal often make it a worthwhile investment for North Fork properties.
