You’re not just getting siding – you’re investing in decades of protection that actually saves you money. Cedar naturally resists rot, insects, and moisture damage while providing superior insulation that cuts your energy bills year-round.
When your cedar siding is professionally installed, you get that rich, warm appearance that makes neighbors take notice. The natural grain patterns and textures create depth and character that synthetic materials simply can’t match, all while your home stays comfortable and protected through every Long Island season.
Your property value increases immediately. Cedar siding consistently ranks among the top exterior improvements for resale value, giving you both immediate satisfaction and long-term financial benefit.
We bring decades of exterior renovation experience specifically to Suffolk County homeowners. We understand what works in our coastal climate – the salt air, the storms, the humidity that can destroy inferior siding installations.
Our family-owned approach means every cedar siding project gets personal oversight. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques, ensuring your siding performs beautifully for decades.
Terryville homeowners trust us because we’re local, licensed, and we stand behind our work. We’ve seen what happens when siding jobs are rushed or done with cheap materials, and we refuse to put our name on anything less than exceptional.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s current siding and structural needs. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we examine the sheathing, check for moisture issues, and identify any repairs needed before new siding goes up.
Next comes material selection and planning. We help you choose the right cedar grade and style for your home and budget, then create a detailed installation plan that minimizes disruption to your daily routine.
Installation happens systematically, starting with proper moisture barriers and working outward. Each piece of cedar is carefully measured, cut, and secured using techniques that ensure long-term performance. We clean up completely each day and perform a final inspection to guarantee everything meets our standards before we consider the job complete.

Your cedar siding installation includes everything needed for lasting performance. We provide premium Western Red Cedar in multiple styles – from classic clapboard to rustic cedar shakes, board and batten, or smooth tongue-and-groove profiles.
Every installation includes proper moisture barriers, quality fasteners, and trim work that complements your home’s architecture. We handle the details that matter: proper flashing around windows and doors, seamless corner treatments, and ventilation considerations that prevent moisture problems.
Terryville’s coastal location demands extra attention to weather resistance. Our installations account for salt air exposure, wind-driven rain, and temperature fluctuations that can stress inferior siding systems. You get protection designed specifically for Long Island conditions, backed by our local experience and commitment to quality.
Properly installed cedar siding lasts 50 to 75 years in our Long Island coastal environment, significantly outlasting vinyl or aluminum alternatives. The key is professional installation with proper moisture barriers and regular maintenance every 3-5 years.
Cedar’s natural oils provide built-in protection against rot and insects, while its dense grain structure resists moisture penetration better than other wood species. In our salt air environment, this natural resistance becomes even more valuable, as cedar won’t corrode like metal siding or become brittle like vinyl in temperature extremes.
With proper care – including periodic cleaning and re-staining – your cedar siding will actually improve with age, developing that coveted silvery patina that enhances rather than detracts from your home’s appearance.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for uniform thickness and smooth surfaces, creating clean lines perfect for traditional or contemporary homes. They install in overlapping rows and offer excellent weather protection with a refined appearance.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn to create rustic, textured surfaces with natural variations in thickness and grain patterns. They provide superior insulation and weather resistance while delivering that authentic, craftsman-style look many homeowners prefer.
Clapboard cedar siding features long, horizontal boards with beveled edges that overlap for weather protection. This classic New England style works beautifully on colonial and traditional homes, offering clean lines with natural wood warmth that synthetic materials can’t replicate.
Cedar siding installation typically ranges from $16-18 per square foot installed, making it a premium investment that pays long-term dividends. For an average 2,600 square foot home, expect investment around $45,000 for complete cedar siding replacement.
This cost includes premium Western Red Cedar materials, proper moisture barriers, professional installation, and quality trim work. While the upfront investment is higher than vinyl or aluminum, cedar’s 50-75 year lifespan and energy efficiency benefits make it cost-effective over time.
Your exact cost depends on your home’s size, architectural complexity, cedar grade selected, and any additional prep work needed. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs, so you understand exactly what you’re investing in and why.
Cedar siding significantly improves energy efficiency through superior natural insulation properties. Wood naturally regulates temperature better than vinyl or aluminum, reducing heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer by creating an additional thermal barrier.
The insulation benefits are measurable – homeowners typically see 10-15% reduction in energy costs after cedar siding installation. Cedar also reduces outside noise transmission, creating a quieter, more comfortable interior environment.
Property value increases are substantial and immediate. Cedar siding consistently ranks among the top exterior improvements for return on investment, often adding 15-20% to home value. Real estate professionals recognize cedar as a premium feature that attracts buyers and justifies higher asking prices.
Cedar siding requires cleaning and re-staining every 3-5 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance. This involves power washing to remove dirt and mildew, then applying quality wood stain or sealant to preserve the natural oils and prevent moisture penetration.
In our coastal environment, the maintenance schedule may lean toward every 3 years on weather-exposed sides of your home. Regular inspection for loose boards, damaged caulking, or areas where moisture might penetrate helps prevent small issues from becoming expensive problems.
The maintenance investment is minimal compared to the protection and beauty you receive. Many homeowners enjoy the ritual of caring for their cedar siding, knowing they’re preserving a premium material that will serve their family for generations.
Cedar offers natural beauty that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate – the rich grain patterns, warm tones, and authentic texture create character and depth that adds genuine value to your home. Unlike vinyl, cedar won’t become brittle in cold weather or fade in intense sun.
Performance-wise, cedar provides superior insulation and noise reduction compared to vinyl or aluminum. While fiber cement is durable, it lacks cedar’s natural insulation properties and requires painting every 10-15 years, while cedar can be left to weather naturally or maintained with transparent stains that preserve the wood grain.
Environmental considerations matter too – cedar is renewable, biodegradable, and actually removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere during growth. For homeowners who value sustainability alongside performance and beauty, cedar represents the responsible choice that doesn’t compromise on quality or aesthetics.
