When your cedar siding installation is complete, you’ll have a home that stands out in your neighborhood for all the right reasons. Your energy bills drop because cedar provides natural insulation that keeps your home comfortable year-round. You stop worrying about moisture damage, rot, and pest problems because cedar naturally resists these issues.
The best part? Your home’s value increases significantly. Cedar siding is one of the few exterior improvements that actually pays you back when it’s time to sell. You get decades of low-maintenance protection that looks better with age, not worse.
Your neighbors will notice the difference immediately. Cedar’s natural grain patterns and warm tones create curb appeal that vinyl and fiber cement simply can’t match.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc brings decades of exterior renovation experience to every cedar siding project in Hauppauge. We’re a family-owned company that understands Suffolk County’s unique weather challenges – from harsh winters to humid summers that can destroy poorly installed siding.
Our team is fully licensed and insured in Suffolk County, which means you’re protected throughout the entire process. We’ve completed hundreds of siding projects across Long Island, and our customers consistently praise our attention to detail and transparent communication.
What sets us apart is our commitment to doing things right the first time. We don’t cut corners on preparation, materials, or installation techniques. That’s why we can offer comprehensive warranties on our work and why our customers recommend us to their neighbors.
Your cedar siding project starts with a detailed assessment of your home’s exterior. We inspect the existing structure, identify any repairs needed, and measure everything precisely. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered halfway through the job.
Next, we prepare your home’s surface properly. This means installing water-resistant barriers, ensuring proper flashing around windows and doors, and creating the solid foundation your cedar siding needs to perform for decades. Most contractors skip these crucial steps – we never do.
The installation itself follows strict industry best practices. We acclimate the cedar boards on-site, pre-finish all surfaces including cut ends, and use stainless steel fasteners that won’t stain or corrode. Each board is positioned with proper spacing for expansion and contraction, nailed at the correct locations to prevent splitting.
When we’re finished, you get a final walkthrough where we explain the maintenance schedule and answer any questions. Your project comes with a comprehensive warranty and our commitment to address any concerns promptly.

Our cedar siding installation service includes everything you need for a successful project. We handle the removal and disposal of old siding, all necessary repairs to underlying structure, and installation of proper water management systems. You don’t coordinate multiple contractors – we manage everything.
In Hauppauge’s climate, proper installation is critical. Suffolk County homes face temperature swings from below freezing to over 90 degrees, plus coastal moisture and storm conditions. Our installation techniques account for these challenges with proper expansion gaps, sealed joints, and premium fasteners.
We work with multiple cedar species and profiles including traditional clapboard, cedar shakes, board and batten, and tongue and groove. Each style offers different aesthetic and performance characteristics, and we’ll help you choose the best option for your home’s architecture and your maintenance preferences.
Your project includes pre-finishing of all cedar surfaces, which dramatically extends the life of your siding and reduces future maintenance. Most contractors install raw cedar and leave finishing to the homeowner – we handle it properly from the start.
Properly installed and maintained cedar siding lasts 20-40 years in Suffolk County’s climate. The key is professional installation with proper preparation, water management, and initial finishing. Cedar naturally resists moisture, insects, and rot, but it needs to be installed correctly to reach its full lifespan potential.
Our installation process includes pre-finishing all surfaces, proper spacing for expansion and contraction, and stainless steel fasteners that won’t stain or corrode. We also install proper flashing and water barriers to protect against Long Island’s storms and humidity. With periodic maintenance every 5-7 years, your cedar siding will look great and protect your home for decades.
Cedar siding offers natural beauty, superior insulation, and environmental benefits that synthetic materials can’t match. While fiber cement and vinyl may cost less upfront, cedar provides better energy efficiency, natural moisture resistance, and significantly higher resale value. Cedar also ages gracefully, developing character over time rather than looking worn.
The main differences are performance and aesthetics. Cedar naturally expands and contracts with weather changes without cracking. It provides better sound absorption and insulation than synthetic alternatives. Most importantly, cedar can be refinished multiple times throughout its life, while vinyl and fiber cement cannot be restored once they’re damaged or faded.
For Hauppauge homeowners who want authentic natural beauty and long-term value, cedar is the premium choice. The initial investment pays dividends in energy savings, durability, and home value appreciation.
Cedar siding installation costs vary based on your home’s size, the cedar species and profile you choose, and the condition of your existing exterior. For a typical Hauppauge home, expect to invest $16-18 per square foot for quality cedar siding with professional installation. This includes all preparation work, materials, and labor.
While cedar costs more than vinyl initially, it offers superior long-term value. Cedar siding increases your home’s resale value significantly, provides better energy efficiency, and lasts much longer than cheaper alternatives. Many homeowners find that the energy savings alone justify the investment within a few years.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly. No hidden fees, no surprises. We also offer flexible payment options to help make your cedar siding project affordable. The investment in quality cedar siding pays dividends for decades through lower energy bills, reduced maintenance costs, and increased home value.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections for your cedar siding project in Hauppauge. Suffolk County requires permits for most siding replacement projects, and we’re familiar with all local building codes and requirements. We submit permit applications, schedule required inspections, and ensure your project meets all regulations.
Our team stays current with Suffolk County building codes and best practices for cedar siding installation. We know exactly what inspectors look for and ensure your project passes all required inspections on the first try. This saves you time and prevents delays that can occur when contractors aren’t familiar with local requirements.
Part of our professional service is handling these details so you don’t have to. We coordinate with local authorities, schedule inspections at appropriate project milestones, and provide all documentation needed for permits and approvals. Your cedar siding project proceeds smoothly from start to finish without bureaucratic headaches.
Cedar siding requires minimal maintenance when properly installed and finished. Plan to inspect your siding annually and reapply stain or sealant every 5-7 years depending on exposure and weather conditions. This periodic maintenance preserves cedar’s natural beauty and extends its lifespan significantly.
The maintenance schedule depends on your home’s exposure to sun, moisture, and weather. South-facing walls may need attention more frequently than protected areas. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your installation and local conditions. Simple tasks like cleaning gutters and trimming vegetation away from siding help prevent moisture problems.
Our initial installation includes pre-finishing all cedar surfaces, which gives you several years before the first maintenance is needed. We use premium stains and sealers that penetrate deeply and last longer than typical retail products. When it’s time for maintenance, we can provide that service or recommend qualified contractors who understand cedar’s specific needs.
In some cases, cedar siding can be installed over existing siding, but it depends on the condition and type of current siding. We evaluate each situation individually to determine if this approach is appropriate for your home. Factors include the structural integrity of existing siding, moisture concerns, and local building code requirements.
Installing over existing siding can save time and disposal costs, but it’s not always the best choice. If your current siding has moisture damage, structural issues, or doesn’t provide a suitable base, removal is necessary for a quality cedar installation. We never compromise on installation quality to save time or money upfront.
Our assessment includes checking for proper flashing, evaluating the condition of underlying structure, and ensuring adequate attachment points for cedar siding. If we can install over existing siding safely and properly, we’ll explain the process and any limitations. If removal is necessary, we handle that professionally with proper disposal of old materials.
