Our cedar siding contractors handle every type of cedar exterior project for homes in NJ and PA – from complete cedar shake installation on new construction to full replacement of aging or storm-damaged siding. Each service follows the same standard: thorough preparation, correct installation techniques, and a clean, finished result that protects your home for decades.
Cedar shake and shingle siding installation
New cedar siding installation starts with a full assessment of your home’s exterior structure. We install furring strips or solid sheathing as needed, apply a weather-resistive barrier, and fasten each shake or shingle with proper spacing for airflow and expansion. Flashing details around windows, doors, and transitions are handled to prevent moisture entry – one of the most common failure points when cedar is installed by inexperienced crews.
Cedar siding replacement
If your existing siding has reached the end of its life – whether it’s old cedar, vinyl, or aluminum – we handle full removal, inspect the underlying sheathing for moisture damage or rot, make any necessary structural repairs, and install new cedar siding from scratch. Replacement projects are also a good opportunity to upgrade insulation and improve energy performance behind the new cladding.
Cedar siding repair
Not every problem requires a full replacement. Storm damage, localized rot, warping, or split shakes can often be addressed through targeted repair. We match the existing cedar profile, grade, and finish as closely as possible so repaired sections blend naturally with the rest of the exterior.
Cedar accent and trim work
Cedar works well as a design accent alongside other siding materials. We install cedar shake or shingle sections on gable ends, dormers, or lower-level facades combined with James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, or stone – creating architectural contrast without committing to a full cedar exterior.
Multi-family and HOA cedar siding
For townhome communities, duplexes, and HOA-managed properties, we coordinate multi-unit cedar siding projects with association boards and property managers. This includes material approvals, phased scheduling, and consistent installation standards across all units.

How We Work on Cedar Siding Projects
Every cedar siding project we take on follows a clear, structured process – so you know exactly what to expect at each stage. From your first call to the final walkthrough, our contractors keep you informed, on schedule, and in control of your project.
Free on-site inspection and estimate
We start with a visit to your property to evaluate the current condition of your exterior, take measurements, discuss your goals, and identify any underlying issues that could affect installation. You receive a written, itemized estimate that breaks down labor, materials, preparation, and any additional work – no verbal quotes, no vague line items.
Material selection and project planning
Our team helps you choose the right type of cedar – shake or shingle – along with the appropriate grade, thickness, and finish to match your home’s architecture and your budget. We confirm the project timeline, order materials, and coordinate logistics before any work begins.
Preparation and professional installation
On installation day, we protect your property, remove existing siding if needed, and inspect the sheathing underneath. We install a proper weather barrier, set up controlled spacing for ventilation, and fasten every course of cedar according to manufacturer specifications and building code. Correct nailing depth, overlap, and grain orientation matter – and we treat every detail accordingly.
Quality inspection and cleanup
Once installation is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to review the finished work. We check all transitions, flashing, trim joints, and fastener patterns before clearing the site. You should never have to clean up after your contractor – and you won’t with us.
Warranty activation and maintenance guidance
Every project comes with a written workmanship warranty. We also provide practical maintenance guidance – including staining and sealing schedules, annual inspection tips, and signs of wear to watch for – so your cedar siding performs well long after we leave.
Cedar Shake vs. Cedar Shingle
Cedar siding comes in two main forms – shakes and shingles – and each creates a different visual effect and performance profile.
Cedar shakes are thicker, typically hand-split or machine-split, and produce a rough, textured surface with pronounced shadow lines. They give a home a dimensional, rustic appearance that works well with Craftsman, farmhouse, and coastal architectural styles. Because shakes are thicker, they offer slightly more natural insulation and are generally more forgiving on uneven substrates – but they cost more per square foot to purchase and install.
Cedar shingles are thinner, uniformly machine-sawn, and create a smooth, even exterior. They suit Colonial, Cape Cod, and Contemporary homes where a cleaner, more refined look is the goal. Shingles are lighter, faster to install, and typically cost less than shakes – while still delivering the natural warmth and grain variation that makes cedar siding distinctive.
Both options perform well in the climate conditions found across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including seasonal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and coastal wind exposure. The right choice depends on your home’s architecture, the look you want, and your project budget. During your free estimate, our team will bring samples, discuss the pros and cons of each option for your specific property, and help you make a confident decision.

Most residential cedar siding projects take between one and three weeks, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the design, and whether existing siding needs to be removed first. Multi-story homes, extensive trim work, and weather delays can extend the timeline. We provide a project schedule during the planning phase so you know what to expect.
Cedar siding can last 40 years or longer with proper installation and regular maintenance. In New Jersey's climate - with its seasonal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional coastal storms - the key to longevity is correct ventilation behind the cladding, quality staining or sealing, and timely repairs when damage occurs. Neglected cedar siding can deteriorate in as few as 15 to 20 years.
Cedar siding requires more upkeep than vinyl or fiber cement. Plan on reapplying stain or sealant every three to five years and inspecting the siding annually for signs of moisture, mildew, or insect activity. Washing the surface once or twice a year with a mild cleaning solution helps prevent buildup. Proper maintenance keeps cedar looking natural and extends its service life significantly.
Cedar costs more upfront than vinyl and is comparable to or slightly above fiber cement in total installed cost. The trade-off is a natural, one-of-a-kind appearance that synthetic materials can't fully replicate, along with strong natural insulation and biodegradability. Cedar siding also tends to increase curb appeal and resale value. Whether it's the right fit depends on your priorities - appearance, maintenance tolerance, and budget.
We handle both. If your cedar siding has localized damage from a storm, rot, or impact, we can replace the affected shakes or shingles without redoing the entire exterior. We match the existing profile, grade, and finish as closely as possible so repaired areas blend in with the surrounding siding.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Many towns in New Jersey require a building permit for full siding replacement. Our team checks local requirements for your area, handles the permit application when needed, and ensures the work meets applicable building codes.
Every cedar siding project we complete comes with a written workmanship warranty. This covers our labor and installation quality - separate from any manufacturer's warranty on the cedar material itself. If an issue arises from how the siding was installed, we return to correct it at no additional cost.
