Transforming a Home with a Custom Cedar Ceiling
Making a difference…
When it comes to elevating the look and feel of a space, few upgrades match the warmth and timeless beauty of a cedar ceiling. Recently, our team at Heritage Deck and Frame had the pleasure of completing a custom cedar ceiling installation for a homeowner in Glenshaw, PA. In just 2.5 days, we transformed the space into a stunning showcase of craftsmanship, natural wood tones, and thoughtful design.
This project not only highlighted the versatility of cedar as a material but also showed how even small-scale renovations can create big visual impact.
A project like this can be completed for under $10,000.00.
Why choose cedar…
Cedar is a favorite among homeowners for its natural beauty, durability, and warmth. Its rich tones and grain patterns bring a rustic yet refined feel to any interior. Beyond aesthetics, cedar is also known for its resistance to rot and insects, making it a reliable choice for long-term value.
Whether used in outdoor spaces like covered decks or indoors for vaulted ceilings and accents, cedar provides a one-of-a-kind finish that never goes out of style. For homeowners in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, it’s an ideal way to blend natural materials with modern design.
From framing to finish…
The Glenshaw cedar ceiling project required careful planning and execution. Our scope of work included:
Framing the gable-end wall to support the ceiling’s structure and ensure lasting stability.
Installing collar ties strategically positioned to create the look of decorative beams while also reinforcing the ceiling’s framework.
Making precise adjustments for electrical work, ensuring the ceiling could accommodate new lighting fixtures without compromising the design.
Installing and finishing the custom cedar planks, creating a seamless, polished look across the ceiling.
By combining structural framing with high-quality finish carpentry, we delivered a ceiling that feels architectural, not just decorative.
Time and investment…
One of the standout features of this project was the efficiency. Our crew completed the entire cedar ceiling installation in just 2.5 days, minimizing disruption for the homeowner while maintaining our high standards of quality.
For homeowners curious about cost, a project of this scope typically falls under $10,000. While pricing can vary depending on ceiling size, material choice, and custom features, it’s a great example of how impactful upgrades don’t always require a large-scale renovation budget.
