Cedar siding isn’t just about looks—though the natural wood grain and rich tones are hard to beat. It’s about giving your Wyandanch home real protection against everything Long Island throws at it.
When properly installed, cedar naturally resists rot, insects, and moisture damage for 50+ years. The wood’s natural oils create a barrier that vinyl and other materials simply can’t match. You get better insulation, which means lower energy bills, and sound absorption that makes your home quieter and more comfortable.
The real benefit? Peace of mind. While your neighbors deal with frequent siding repairs and replacements, your cedar investment keeps working, weathering into that distinctive silver-gray patina that actually adds to your home’s character and value.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Suffolk County homeowners with exterior improvements that matter. As a family-run business, we understand what it means to invest in your home—because it’s not just about the project, it’s about your family’s comfort and security.
We’ve built our reputation on transparent communication, attention to detail, and delivering results that exceed expectations. When you work with SkyLuxe, you’re not just getting contractors—you’re getting neighbors who understand Wyandanch’s specific challenges, from coastal humidity to nor’easter damage.
Our commitment goes beyond installation. We use premium materials, maintain strict safety standards, and stand behind our work because we know your siding needs to protect what matters most.
The installation starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s current exterior and your specific needs. We evaluate the existing structure, discuss your preferences for cedar type and finish, and provide a clear timeline and cost breakdown.
Preparation involves carefully removing old siding if needed, ensuring the underlying structure is sound, and applying proper moisture barriers. This foundation work is crucial for Long Island homes where coastal conditions demand extra protection.
Installation follows proven techniques with premium cedar materials. Each piece is properly fitted, sealed, and secured to manufacturer specifications. We maintain a clean, safe work environment and keep you informed throughout the process. Final inspection ensures everything meets both your standards and local building codes.

We offer comprehensive cedar siding services including new installation, replacement, and repair. We work with various cedar types—from traditional shakes and shingles to board-and-batten and clapboard styles—allowing you to choose the look that best fits your home’s architecture.
For Wyandanch homeowners, this means siding specifically selected for Long Island’s climate challenges. The coastal environment demands materials that can handle salt air, temperature swings, and storm conditions. Cedar’s natural properties make it ideal for these conditions, but proper installation is what makes the difference between decades of protection and premature failure.
Our service includes all necessary components: quality cedar materials, proper flashing and trim work, moisture barriers, and professional finishing. You get a complete exterior solution designed to protect your investment and enhance your home’s value in Suffolk County’s competitive real estate market.
Properly installed cedar siding can last 50+ years in Long Island’s coastal environment. Cedar’s natural oils provide inherent resistance to moisture, salt air, and insects that commonly damage other siding materials.
The key is professional installation with proper moisture barriers and flashing, plus periodic maintenance like cleaning and optional staining every 5-7 years. Many Suffolk County homes have original cedar siding from decades ago that’s still performing well.
Unlike vinyl or fiber cement, cedar actually improves with age, developing a protective silver-gray patina that enhances both appearance and weather resistance. This natural weathering process is why cedar remains a premium choice for coastal properties.
Cedar siding installation typically costs $8-18 per square foot in the Wyandanch area, compared to $3-8 for vinyl. While the upfront investment is higher, cedar’s longevity and value benefits often make it more cost-effective long-term.
Consider that vinyl siding typically needs replacement every 15-20 years, while cedar can last 50+ years with proper care. Cedar also adds more resale value—important in Suffolk County’s competitive housing market where natural materials are highly valued.
The cost includes premium materials, professional installation, and the peace of mind that comes with a siding choice proven to handle Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. Most homeowners find the investment worthwhile for both protection and aesthetics.
Cedar is actually one of the best natural materials for coastal conditions. Its cellular structure and natural oils create excellent resistance to salt air, moisture, and storm damage that commonly affect Long Island properties.
The wood’s flexibility allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, unlike more rigid materials. Cedar shingles can be individually replaced if storm damage occurs, making repairs much more affordable than full-panel replacement systems.
For maximum storm protection, proper installation includes secure fastening systems and appropriate flashing around vulnerable areas like windows and corners. This combination of natural material properties and professional installation techniques provides reliable protection against nor’easters and coastal weather.
Cedar siding requires minimal maintenance compared to painted wood options. Annual cleaning with gentle detergent removes salt residue and prevents buildup that can trap moisture.
The natural weathering process means you can let cedar age to its characteristic silver-gray color, or maintain the original tone with stain application every 5-7 years. Most Wyandanch homeowners choose to let it weather naturally, which actually reduces maintenance requirements.
Periodic inspection for loose or damaged pieces is recommended, especially after major storms. The individual shingle design means repairs are typically limited to small sections rather than large panels, keeping maintenance costs manageable over the siding’s long lifespan.
Cedar shakes and shingles are popular choices for Suffolk County because they complement both traditional and contemporary architectural styles while providing excellent weather protection.
Board-and-batten cedar works well for farmhouse and modern styles, while clapboard cedar suits colonial and cape-style homes common in the Wyandanch area. The choice often depends on your home’s existing architecture and personal preferences.
Red cedar is the premium option for Long Island installations due to its superior weather resistance and attractive grain patterns. We can help you select the style and grade that best matches your home’s character while providing optimal protection for local climate conditions.
Cedar siding typically adds significant value to Suffolk County homes, often recouping 70-80% of installation costs at resale. The natural material is highly valued in Long Island’s competitive real estate market.
Beyond immediate resale value, cedar siding appeals to buyers seeking low-maintenance, durable exterior materials. The natural aesthetics and proven longevity make homes stand out in listings, often leading to faster sales and better offers.
The investment becomes even more valuable over time as the siding continues to protect and enhance your home’s appearance. Many real estate professionals in the Suffolk County area specifically note cedar siding as a premium feature that differentiates properties from standard vinyl-sided homes.
