Cedar Siding Contractors in New Jersey

Cedar Siding Services We Provide

Our cedar siding contractors handle every type of cedar exterior project for New Jersey homes – from complete cedar shake installation on new construction to full replacement of aging or storm-damaged siding. Every service follows the same standard: thorough preparation, correct installation, and a clean, finished result that protects your home for decades.

Cedar Shake and Shingle Installation

New cedar siding installation starts with a full assessment of your home’s exterior. 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 around windows, doors, and transitions is detailed to prevent moisture entry – one of the most common failure points when cedar is installed by inexperienced crews.

Cedar Siding Replacement

When existing siding – cedar, vinyl, or aluminum – has reached the end of its life, we handle full removal, inspect the sheathing for moisture damage or rot, make any necessary structural repairs, and install new cedar from scratch. Replacement is also a good opportunity to upgrade insulation behind the new cladding for better energy performance.

Cedar Siding Repair

Not every problem requires a full replacement. Storm damage, localized rot, warping, or split shakes can often be handled through targeted cedar siding repair. We match the existing 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 materials. We install cedar shake or shingle sections on gable ends, dormers, or lower-level facades, combined with fiber cement, vinyl, or stone, for architectural contrast without committing to a full cedar exterior.

Multi-Family and HOA Cedar Siding

For townhome communities, duplexes, and HOA-managed properties across New Jersey, we coordinate multi-unit cedar siding projects with association boards and property managers – including material approvals, phased scheduling, and consistent installation standards across all units.

Cedar Siding Styles and Profiles

Cedar siding can be installed in several profiles, each with a distinct look. We help you choose the style that fits your home’s architecture and the look you want.

Clapboard and Bevel Siding

Clapboard (bevel) siding runs in horizontal boards that overlap to shed water and create a clean, traditional New England look. It suits the Colonial and Cape Cod homes common across New Jersey.

Board and Batten

Board and batten uses wide vertical boards with narrow strips, or battens, covering the seams. It creates a bold, vertical-line look that works well on farmhouse and modern exteriors.

Horizontal vs. Vertical Installation

Cedar can be installed horizontally (shakes, shingles, clapboard) or vertically (board and batten). Beyond appearance, the orientation affects how water drains and how the siding is flashed – details we plan during your estimate.

How We Work on Cedar Siding Projects

Every cedar siding project follows a clear, structured process, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage – from your first call to the final walkthrough.

Step 1 – Free On-Site Inspection and Estimate

We visit your property to evaluate the exterior, take measurements, discuss your goals, and identify any underlying issues that could affect installation. You receive a written, itemized estimate covering labor, materials, and preparation – no vague line items.

Step 2 – Material Selection and Planning

We help you choose the right cedar – shake or shingle, along with the grade, thickness, and finish – to match your home and budget. We confirm the timeline, order materials, and coordinate logistics before any work begins.

Step 3 – Preparation and Professional Installation

We protect your property, remove existing siding if needed, and inspect the sheathing underneath. We install a proper weather barrier, set controlled spacing for ventilation, and fasten every course to manufacturer specifications and building code. Correct nailing depth, overlap, and grain orientation all matter.

Step 4 – Quality Inspection and Cleanup

We complete a final walkthrough with you, checking 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.

Step 5 – Warranty and Maintenance Guidance

Every project comes with a written workmanship warranty. We also provide practical maintenance guidance – 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 split rather than sawn, 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 styles. Because shakes are thicker, they offer slightly more natural insulation and are more forgiving on uneven substrates – but they cost more per square foot to buy and install.

Cedar shingles are thinner, uniformly 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 distinctive.

Both options perform well in New Jersey’s climate, including seasonal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and coastal wind near the shore. The right choice depends on your home’s architecture, the look you want, and your budget. During your free estimate, our team will bring samples and walk through the pros and cons of each option for your specific property.

Cedar Siding Cost in New Jersey

The cost of a cedar siding project depends on your home and the materials you choose, so every job is quoted individually. Cedar is a natural, premium material – it generally costs more than vinyl and is comparable to or slightly above fiber cement in total installed cost. Most cedar siding is priced per square foot installed; as a general guide, installed cost commonly falls in the range of roughly $10 to $20 per square foot, though your figure may be higher or lower depending on the specifics.

The main factors that affect cedar siding cost:

• The profile – shakes generally cost more than shingles
• The grade and finish of the cedar
• The size and complexity of your exterior
• Whether existing siding needs removal and disposal
• Any sheathing or structural repairs found during inspection

We provide a free, itemized estimate so you’ll know the full cost before any work begins, and financing is available for larger projects.
