You get a home exterior that stops conversations. Cedar siding installation transforms your property with natural wood grain that other materials simply can’t replicate.
The real payoff comes in year five, ten, and beyond. While your neighbors deal with fading vinyl and cracking fiber cement, your cedar develops that coveted silvery patina that actually increases in character. You’re looking at 50 to 75 years of protection when installed correctly.
Your energy bills drop because cedar’s natural insulation properties keep your home comfortable year-round. The acoustic benefits mean less road noise, fewer neighbor distractions. And when it’s time to sell, you’re looking at nearly 80% return on investment.
SkyLuxe Construction has been transforming Suffolk County homes for decades. We’re the family-run exterior specialists that Medford homeowners call when they want cedar siding done right the first time.
We understand Long Island weather. The coastal humidity, salt air, and temperature swings that wear down inferior siding materials. That’s exactly why we focus on cedar installation techniques that account for our local climate conditions.
You’re not getting a crew that learned cedar installation from YouTube videos. Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation methods, ensuring your investment performs for generations.
First, we inspect your existing exterior and measure everything precisely. No surprises, no change orders halfway through. We handle all permits and ensure compliance with local Suffolk County building codes.
Next comes preparation. We protect your landscaping, remove old siding if needed, and address any underlying issues before cedar goes up. This step separates professional contractors from the weekend warriors.
Installation follows strict protocols. Proper fasteners (never iron), correct spacing for expansion, and moisture barriers where needed. We’re installing for Long Island’s climate, not some generic manual. Each piece is positioned for maximum performance and aesthetic appeal.
Final inspection covers everything from joint sealing to cleanup. You get a walkthrough explaining maintenance requirements and warranty coverage before we consider the job complete.

We install multiple cedar siding configurations to match your home’s architecture. Cedar shingles offer classic New England charm. Cedar shakes provide rustic texture with deeper shadow lines. Board and batten creates clean, contemporary lines perfect for modern Medford homes.
Red cedar brings rich, warm tones that complement Suffolk County’s traditional architecture. White cedar offers lighter hues for coastal-inspired designs. Both weather naturally into that distinctive silver-gray patina Long Island homeowners love.
Medford’s housing stock includes everything from 1950s ranches to modern builds. We’ve installed cedar on Colonial revivals, contemporary designs, and everything in between. The key is matching the cedar style to your home’s proportions and neighborhood character while ensuring proper performance in our local climate.
Properly installed and maintained cedar siding lasts 50 to 75 years in Suffolk County’s climate. We’ve worked on cedar installations from the 1940s that still perform beautifully.
Long Island’s coastal conditions actually work in cedar’s favor. The natural oils in cedar resist moisture and insects better than most wood species. The key is professional installation that accounts for our humidity levels and seasonal temperature swings.
Regular maintenance every 3-5 years keeps cedar performing at its best. This involves cleaning, inspection, and reapplication of protective stains or sealers as needed.
Cedar siding requires periodic cleaning and protective treatments to maintain its appearance and performance. In Suffolk County’s climate, plan on maintenance every 3-5 years depending on exposure.
Cleaning involves gentle washing to remove dirt, salt residue, and organic growth. We recommend professional cleaning to avoid damage from improper pressure washing techniques. After cleaning, protective stains or sealers restore cedar’s natural resistance to moisture and UV damage.
The maintenance investment is worth it. Well-maintained cedar continues looking beautiful while providing superior protection. Neglected cedar can develop issues, but proper care prevents problems before they start.
Cedar siding installation costs vary based on your home’s size, cedar grade selected, and complexity of the installation. Expect higher upfront costs compared to vinyl, but significantly better long-term value.
The investment makes sense when you consider cedar’s lifespan, energy efficiency benefits, and resale value impact. Quality cedar installation typically delivers nearly 80% return on investment, far exceeding most home improvement projects.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re investing in before work begins.
Cedar siding performs exceptionally well in Long Island’s challenging weather when properly installed. Cedar’s natural flexibility allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking like rigid materials.
The key is installation technique. Proper fastening, adequate ventilation, and moisture barriers ensure cedar weathers storms without issues. We’ve seen cedar siding survive decades of nor’easters, hurricanes, and temperature extremes that destroy inferior materials.
Cedar’s natural resistance to rot and insects means it continues protecting your home even in high-humidity conditions. Professional installation accounts for Long Island’s specific weather patterns, ensuring long-term performance.
Medford’s diverse housing styles accommodate multiple cedar siding options. Cedar shingles complement traditional Colonial and Cape Cod architecture common in older neighborhoods. Cedar shakes add rustic charm to ranch homes and contemporary designs.
Board and batten cedar works beautifully on modern builds and additions. The vertical lines create height and visual interest while maintaining cedar’s natural beauty. Clapboard cedar suits virtually any architectural style with its classic horizontal lines.
We help you select the cedar style that enhances your home’s existing character while considering neighborhood aesthetics. The goal is cedar siding that looks like it belongs, not like an afterthought.
Cedar offers natural beauty that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. Real wood grain, natural color variations, and authentic texture create visual appeal that increases over time as cedar develops its distinctive patina.
Performance-wise, cedar provides superior insulation compared to vinyl and better moisture resistance than many realize. Cedar’s natural oils repel insects and resist rot when properly maintained. The acoustic benefits mean a quieter, more comfortable home interior.
Long-term value strongly favors cedar. While upfront costs are higher, cedar’s lifespan, energy efficiency benefits, and resale value impact deliver better overall investment returns. You’re installing siding once instead of replacing cheaper materials multiple times.
