You’re tired of looking at faded, cracked siding that makes your home look older than it should. You want something that actually protects your investment while making your neighbors take notice.
Cedar siding installation gives you that natural wood warmth that vinyl just can’t match. Your energy bills drop because real cedar provides better insulation than most homeowners expect. Water damage becomes a thing of the past since cedar naturally resists moisture, rot, and pests that destroy other materials.
The best part? Your home value goes up immediately. When it’s time to sell, buyers see quality cedar siding and know they’re looking at a home that’s been properly maintained and protected.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been serving Suffolk County homeowners who demand quality exterior improvements. We understand the unique challenges that coastal Long Island weather brings – from summer humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior siding materials.
Our team specializes in residential exterior work throughout Suffolk County, with deep knowledge of local building codes and permit requirements. We’ve seen what works and what fails in this climate, and we only install materials that we’d put on our own homes.
New Suffolk homeowners choose us because we’re local, licensed, and we stand behind every installation with the kind of warranty that shows we’re not going anywhere.
First, we come to your home for a detailed assessment of your current siding and underlying structure. We measure everything, check for any moisture damage or structural issues, and walk you through material options that make sense for your specific situation.
Next, we handle all permits and order your cedar materials. We protect your landscaping and belongings, then carefully remove your old siding while inspecting the sheathing underneath. Any problems get fixed before we move forward – no shortcuts.
Installation happens in sections, starting with proper moisture barriers and flashing. Each cedar board gets installed according to manufacturer specifications with the right spacing for expansion. We finish with trim work, caulking, and a final walkthrough where you see exactly what we’ve accomplished.
The whole process typically takes one to two weeks, depending on your home’s size and any weather delays. You get regular updates and know exactly what’s happening each day.

Cedar shake siding gives you that classic, hand-crafted look that works perfectly with New Suffolk’s coastal aesthetic. Each shake has unique grain patterns and natural color variations that make your home one of a kind. This option works especially well on Cape Cod and traditional colonial styles common in the area.
Cedar board and batten creates clean, vertical lines that make your home appear taller while providing excellent weather protection. It’s a popular choice for modern farmhouse and contemporary designs that many Suffolk County homeowners are gravitating toward.
Clapboard cedar siding offers the timeless horizontal lines that define classic American architecture. It’s what most people picture when they think of quality wood siding, and it complements virtually any home style in New Suffolk.
All our cedar options come from sustainable sources and arrive pre-treated for Long Island’s climate conditions. We help you choose the grade, cut, and finish that matches your budget and long-term maintenance preferences.
Properly installed cedar siding typically lasts 20-30 years in Suffolk County’s coastal environment, often longer with regular maintenance. The key is using the right grade of cedar and ensuring proper installation with adequate moisture barriers.
Cedar naturally contains oils that resist moisture and insects, which is why it performs so well near the water. However, the salt air and humidity levels in New Suffolk do require choosing premium-grade cedar and following specific installation practices that account for seasonal expansion and contraction.
We use only clear or select-grade cedar that’s been kiln-dried to the proper moisture content. This prevents excessive shrinkage and ensures your siding maintains its appearance and protective qualities for decades.
Cedar siding in Suffolk County should be inspected annually and cleaned every 2-3 years to remove salt residue and organic growth. Most homeowners choose to apply a protective stain or sealant every 3-5 years to maintain color and enhance weather resistance.
The coastal environment means your cedar will naturally weather to a silver-gray color if left untreated, which many homeowners actually prefer. If you want to maintain the original cedar color, plan on applying a UV-protective stain every 3-4 years.
Simple maintenance like keeping gutters clean, trimming vegetation away from the siding, and promptly addressing any loose or damaged boards will significantly extend your cedar siding’s lifespan and appearance.
Cedar siding installation typically costs 40-60% more upfront than vinyl, but the long-term value equation often favors cedar for quality-conscious homeowners. You’re investing in a material that increases home value, provides better insulation, and lasts longer with proper care.
The exact cost depends on your home’s size, the cedar grade you choose, and any structural repairs needed during installation. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
Many New Suffolk homeowners find that cedar’s energy efficiency benefits and increased home value offset the higher initial investment within 7-10 years. Plus, you get the satisfaction of owning a home with authentic natural materials that improve with age.
Cedar siding is exceptionally well-suited for New Suffolk’s variable weather conditions when properly installed. Cedar’s natural flexibility allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or warping like some other materials.
During winter freeze-thaw cycles, properly installed cedar siding with adequate moisture barriers prevents ice damage that can destroy inferior siding materials. The key is ensuring proper installation with the right spacing and using appropriate flashing around windows and doors.
Summer storms and high winds are handled well by cedar’s natural strength and our installation methods that account for Long Island’s weather patterns. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners and proven techniques that have protected Suffolk County homes through decades of coastal weather.
Most cedar siding replacement projects in New Suffolk require building permits, especially if you’re changing the siding material or making structural modifications. We handle all permit applications and ensure your project meets local building codes and Suffolk County requirements.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and involves submitting detailed plans showing the new siding installation, moisture barriers, and any structural changes. We work with local building officials regularly and understand exactly what documentation they need.
Some minor repair work might not require permits, but complete siding replacement almost always does. We’ll determine permit requirements during your initial consultation and factor the costs and timeline into your project estimate.
We focus exclusively on residential exterior improvements in Suffolk County, which means we understand the specific challenges that New Suffolk’s coastal environment presents. Our team has extensive experience with cedar installations in similar climates and conditions.
