Free Estimates and What Affects Your Project

Every siding project is different, so we price each home individually after an in-person visit. Your free written estimate lists the materials, removal, house wrap, trim, and any expected repairs, so you know exactly what is included before work begins.

What Affects Your Project

The scope and cost of a siding project depend on the size of the home, the number of stories, corners, dormers, and windows, the siding product you choose, whether old siding must be removed, the condition of the sheathing underneath, trim and soffit work, and house wrap. We walk you through each of these during the estimate. For a general look at how siding projects are priced on Long Island, see our siding installation cost guide.

Siding Repair

Small repairs, such as replacing a few cracked or blown-off panels, are a much smaller job than full replacement. The scope depends on how many panels are involved and whether matching material is still available. We will tell you plainly whether a repair will hold or whether replacement makes more sense.

Financing

Financing options are available for qualified homeowners. Learn more on our financing page.

Our Siding Services

Siding Installation

For new construction, additions, and full exterior renovations, we install siding from the sheathing out: inspecting the wall, installing house wrap, flashing windows and doors, and setting trim and panels so water sheds the way it should.



Siding Repair

Cracks, holes, loose or blown-off panels, and storm damage can let water reach the sheathing. We match materials as closely as possible and repair the damaged sections so they blend with the rest of the home. We also check the house wrap behind the damaged area, since a torn weather barrier is often the real source of a leak.

Siding Replacement

When siding is worn out, outdated, or failing in several places, we remove it down to the sheathing, repair any rot, and install new siding with modern house wrap and flashing. Replacement is the only way to see and fix what is happening behind the old panels.

Custom Siding Solutions

From color combinations and accent areas like gables to trim upgrades and shakes, we help you design an exterior that suits your home's style and your neighborhood.

Siding Materials We Install

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is the most common choice on Long Island. It is affordable, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of colors and profiles. Higher tiers and insulated vinyl resist wind and impact better and lie flatter on the wall. Our guide on how long vinyl siding lasts explains what to expect over time.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie products, offers a premium painted look, excellent fire resistance, and strong impact resistance. It costs more and requires painting over the long term. Our comparison of vinyl siding vs. fiber cement helps you decide between them.

Colors and Styles

Siding comes in traditional lap, Dutch lap, board and batten, and shake-style profiles, in colors from classic whites and grays to deep blues and greens. Darker colors have become popular on Long Island colonials and capes. Many homeowners pair a main siding color with accent shakes in the gables or board and batten on a front section, along with crisp white or contrasting trim. We bring samples to your home so you can see colors in real daylight.

Trim, Soffit, and Fascia

Aluminum and PVC trim, vented soffits, and fascia complete the system and protect the roof edge. We coordinate siding with your gutters and roof so the whole exterior works together.

Signs It Is Time for New Siding

Many Long Island homes still have siding from the 1980s and 1990s. These signs suggest it may be time to replace it:

• Cracked, warped, or buckling panels in several areas.
• Loose or missing panels after storms.
• Faded or chalky siding that no longer looks clean after washing.
• Soft spots, rot, or mold on the wall behind the siding.
• Peeling paint inside the home on exterior walls, a sign of moisture getting in.
• Rising energy bills or drafty rooms along exterior walls.
• Siding you are thinking about painting to cover fading, which may be a sign the material is near the end. Our guide on whether you can paint vinyl siding explains when painting makes sense.

Our Siding Replacement Process

We keep the process simple and predictable.



1. Free consultation and measurement. We inspect the existing siding, check for signs of moisture damage, and measure the home.
2. Written, itemized estimate. You receive a clear quote covering materials, removal, house wrap, trim, and any expected repairs.
3. Material and color selection. We help you compare products, colors, and trim options.
4. Scheduling and permits. We schedule the work and handle any required permits.
5. Removal and inspection. Old siding comes off, and we inspect the sheathing and repair any rot.
6. House wrap and flashing. New weather barrier and flashing go on around windows, doors, and other openings.
7. Installation. Trim and siding are installed with proper fastening and expansion gaps.
8. Cleanup and final walkthrough. We remove debris, run a magnetic sweep for nails, and walk the project with you.

A typical siding project takes about 4 to 7 days, depending on the size and complexity of the home. During the project, you can stay in your home. Expect some noise during removal, and plan to keep cars out of the work area. We protect landscaping, cover exterior equipment, and keep walkways clear at the end of each day so your home stays usable while we work.

Built for Long Island Weather

Long Island siding has to handle more than the average New York home.



Wind and Coastal Storms

Nor'easters and tropical storms bring strong winds, especially along the South Shore and on exposed waterfront lots. Proper nailing, wind-rated products, and secure trim help keep panels in place.

Salt Air and Moisture

Homes near the bays and the ocean face salt spray and humidity. Quality materials and correct water management behind the siding protect the sheathing from moisture.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Winter temperature swings make siding expand and contract. We fasten panels so they can move as designed, which prevents buckling in summer and cracking in winter.

House Wrap and Flashing

The weather barrier behind the siding is what keeps water out of your walls. We pay close attention to house wrap laps and flashing at windows, doors, and roof-to-wall joints, where most moisture problems start.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims

High winds and falling branches often damage siding along with the roof. After a storm, we can inspect both, document the damage with photos, and provide a detailed estimate you can share with your insurance company. Matching discontinued siding colors is a common challenge in claims, and we will explain your options if an exact match is not available. Learn more about our storm damage services and what to check in our guide to roof storm damage.

Can New Siding Go Over Old Siding?

Sometimes new siding can be installed over an existing layer, but we usually recommend removal. Taking the old siding off lets us inspect the sheathing, repair rot, install a modern weather barrier, and flash windows and doors correctly. Covering old siding can hide moisture damage that keeps getting worse, and it can create an uneven surface that shows through the new panels. On homes with older asbestos-cement shingles, removal requires a specialized abatement process, so we will discuss options with you before any work begins.

Siding, Energy Efficiency, and Home Value

Comfort and Energy

Siding itself is not a major insulator, but replacing it gives us the chance to seal air leaks and add a modern weather barrier. Insulated vinyl adds a layer of foam over the wall. Together, these can make rooms along exterior walls more comfortable.

Curb Appeal

New siding transforms how a home looks from the street, and siding replacement is consistently one of the exterior projects that helps homes show well when it is time to sell.

Warranties

Siding products carry manufacturer warranties that vary by brand and product line. We will explain the coverage for the specific siding you choose and what the installation includes.
