Your home deserves siding that can handle everything Long Island throws at it. Cedar siding naturally resists moisture, insects, and harsh coastal conditions while maintaining its stunning appearance for decades.
When properly installed, cedar siding creates a protective barrier that prevents water damage and pest infiltration. The natural oils in cedar wood repel termites and other insects, while its superior insulation properties help reduce your energy costs year-round.
You’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with premium materials and expert installation, knowing your home is protected by one of nature’s most durable building materials.
We’ve been transforming Suffolk County homes for decades, specializing in premium exterior renovations including cedar siding installation. As a family-owned company, we understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s coastal climate presents to your home’s exterior.
We’ve seen firsthand how salt air, nor’easters, and temperature swings can damage poorly installed siding. That’s why every cedar siding project receives personal oversight from our experienced team, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques.
Local homeowners trust us because we’re not just contractors – we’re your neighbors who take pride in protecting your most valuable investment with quality materials and expert workmanship.
We start with a thorough inspection of your home’s exterior to assess the current condition and identify any underlying issues that need attention before installation begins. You’ll receive a detailed estimate that explains exactly what work will be performed and which materials we’ll use.
Next, we carefully remove old siding and prepare the surface, ensuring proper moisture barriers and insulation are in place. Our team installs your new cedar siding with precision, paying close attention to proper spacing, alignment, and weatherproofing around windows, doors, and trim areas.
Throughout the project, we maintain clear communication about progress and timeline. After installation is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our quality standards and your expectations. You’ll also receive guidance on proper maintenance to keep your cedar siding looking beautiful for years to come.

Our cedar siding installation service includes everything needed for a complete exterior transformation. We work with various cedar siding styles including shakes, shingles, clapboard, and board-and-batten to match your home’s architectural character and your personal preferences.
Each installation includes proper moisture barriers, quality fasteners designed for coastal conditions, and precise trim work around windows, doors, and corners. We source our cedar materials from trusted suppliers who provide sustainably harvested wood that meets our quality standards.
For Speonk homeowners, we understand that your property represents a significant investment in one of Long Island’s most desirable communities. Our cedar siding installations are designed to enhance your home’s curb appeal while providing decades of reliable protection against the elements. The natural beauty of cedar complements the coastal aesthetic that makes this area so special, aging gracefully into an elegant silvery patina that blends beautifully with the shoreline environment.
With proper installation and maintenance, cedar siding can last 50 to 75 years in Long Island’s coastal environment. Cedar naturally resists moisture, insects, and decay better than other wood siding materials, making it an excellent choice for homes near the water.
The key to longevity is professional installation with proper moisture barriers and regular maintenance including cleaning and staining every 3-5 years. Cedar’s natural oils provide built-in protection, but periodic maintenance helps preserve its appearance and extends its lifespan even further.
Many Speonk homeowners find that cedar siding actually improves with age, developing a beautiful silvery-gray patina that complements the coastal setting while continuing to provide excellent protection for their homes.
Cedar shakes are split from cedar logs, giving them a more rustic, textured appearance with natural variations in thickness and grain patterns. They create deeper shadow lines and a more pronounced three-dimensional look that many homeowners prefer for traditional or cottage-style homes.
Cedar shingles are sawn to uniform thickness and have a smoother, more refined appearance. They provide a cleaner, more formal look that works well with colonial, cape, and contemporary home styles. Both options offer the same excellent weather resistance and natural beauty.
The choice between shakes and shingles often comes down to your home’s architectural style and personal preference. We can show you samples of both options and help you choose the style that best complements your Speonk home’s character and the surrounding neighborhood aesthetic.
Cedar siding is exceptionally well-suited for Long Island’s challenging coastal conditions. The natural resins and oils in cedar wood provide built-in resistance to moisture and salt air exposure, while the wood’s cellular structure allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or warping.
During storms, properly installed cedar siding can withstand high winds and even hail damage better than many other siding materials. Cedar’s natural flexibility helps it absorb impacts without breaking, and its water-resistant properties prevent moisture infiltration that can lead to structural damage.
The salt air that’s common in coastal areas like Speonk actually helps cedar develop its characteristic weathered patina over time. Unlike metal siding that can corrode or vinyl that can become brittle, cedar continues to provide reliable protection while maintaining its natural beauty even after years of exposure to harsh coastal elements.
Cedar siding maintenance in Long Island’s coastal climate involves regular cleaning and periodic staining or sealing to preserve its appearance and extend its lifespan. We recommend gentle washing with a soft brush and mild detergent annually to remove salt residue, dirt, and any mildew growth.
Every 3-5 years, depending on exposure and weather conditions, cedar siding benefits from restaining or applying a clear protective finish. This helps maintain the wood’s natural color and provides additional protection against moisture and UV damage. Areas with direct sun exposure or severe weather may need attention more frequently.
Regular inspection for any loose boards, damaged areas, or caulking that needs refreshing helps prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. With proper maintenance, your cedar siding will continue to protect your home while maintaining its beautiful appearance for decades, making it an excellent long-term investment for Speonk homeowners.
Yes, cedar siding provides natural insulation properties that can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. Cedar’s cellular structure creates air pockets that provide better thermal performance than many other siding materials, helping keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
When combined with proper installation techniques including moisture barriers and insulation, cedar siding creates an effective thermal envelope around your home. This reduces the workload on your heating and cooling systems, leading to lower energy bills and improved comfort for your family.
Many Speonk homeowners notice a difference in their energy costs after cedar siding installation, especially when replacing older or damaged siding materials. The natural insulation properties of cedar, combined with its sound-dampening qualities, create a more comfortable and efficient living environment that pays dividends over the years.
