Your home stops bleeding energy through gaps and cracks. No more worrying about moisture damage creeping into your walls during Long Island’s harsh winters and humid summers.
You get siding that actually looks the way it’s supposed to – straight lines, proper overlap, and weatherproofing that works. The kind of installation that makes your neighbors ask who did the work.
Your property value goes up, your energy bills go down, and you stop dealing with the constant maintenance headaches that come with old or poorly installed siding.
We’ve been installing and repairing siding in University Gardens since the early 2000s. We know these older homes – the Tudor-style houses from the 1920s and 1930s, the post-war construction, and the unique challenges that come with Nassau County’s coastal climate.
We’re the local crew that University Gardens homeowners call when they want it done right the first time. Family-owned, fully licensed, and we actually show up when we say we will.
Most of our work comes from referrals because people see the difference when siding is installed by contractors who know what they’re doing.
First, we come out and actually look at your house. Not a quick glance – we check for moisture damage, measure everything properly, and explain what you’re dealing with and why.
We remove the old siding carefully, inspect and repair the underlying structure if needed, then install your new siding with proper flashing, insulation, and weatherproofing. Every piece gets checked twice.
The job isn’t done until your property is cleaner than when we started and you understand how to maintain your new siding. We walk through everything with you and make sure you’re completely satisfied.

Vinyl siding remains popular in University Gardens because it handles our weather well and requires almost no maintenance. Modern vinyl looks nothing like the cheap stuff from decades ago – it’s thicker, more durable, and comes in colors that won’t fade.
Fiber cement siding (like HardiePlank) costs more upfront but lasts longer and looks more like real wood. It’s fire-resistant, won’t rot or attract pests, and actually increases your home value more than vinyl.
Wood siding gives you that authentic look that fits University Gardens’ historic character, but it requires regular maintenance. Cedar and pine are popular choices, but you’ll need to plan for painting or staining every few years.
Vinyl siding typically runs $7,500 to $15,000 for an average University Gardens home, including removal of old siding and proper installation. Fiber cement siding costs more – usually $15,000 to $25,000 for the same house.
The final price depends on your home’s size, the condition of what’s underneath, and which material you choose. Two-story homes cost more because the work is more complex and time-consuming.
We give you an exact price after we see your house, not a ballpark estimate over the phone. Every house is different, and your quote will reflect the actual work that needs to be done.
Vinyl and fiber cement both handle Long Island’s climate well, but for different reasons. Vinyl sheds moisture naturally and won’t rot or warp, even during our humid summers. It also flexes with temperature changes without cracking.
Fiber cement is thicker and more impact-resistant, which matters during storms. It won’t burn, won’t attract insects, and looks more like real wood. The trade-off is higher cost and the need for occasional repainting.
Wood siding looks great but requires more maintenance in our climate. The salt air and moisture mean you’ll need to stay on top of painting and sealing to prevent rot and pest problems.
Most University Gardens homes take 5-10 days for complete siding installation, depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently but don’t rush – proper installation takes time.
Weather can slow things down, especially during winter months. We don’t install siding in rain or when temperatures drop too low, because the materials won’t perform correctly.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly their house is transformed once we get started.
We handle both repairs and full replacement, and we’re honest about which one makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a few damaged boards can be replaced without redoing the whole house.
For older homes in University Gardens, we often find that what looks like a small problem is actually a sign of bigger issues underneath. We’ll show you exactly what’s going on and explain your options.
If repair is possible, we’ll match your existing siding as closely as we can. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and help you choose the best material for your budget and goals.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for five years – if something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we fix it at no charge. Most siding material manufacturers offer 25-50 year warranties on the products themselves.
Vinyl siding warranties typically cover 25-40 years against defects and fading. Fiber cement warranties often run 30-50 years. We help you register your warranty and explain exactly what’s covered.
The key is proper installation – manufacturer warranties can be voided if the siding isn’t installed correctly. That’s why using experienced contractors matters more than just finding the lowest price.
We can install siding during mild winter days, but there are temperature limits for different materials. Vinyl becomes brittle below 40 degrees, and some adhesives won’t cure properly in cold weather.
Winter installation often takes longer because we have fewer working hours and need to protect your house from weather exposure. We use temporary coverings and work in sections to minimize any problems.
Spring and fall are ideal for siding installation in University Gardens – mild temperatures, less humidity, and more predictable weather. But if you need emergency repairs, we can work year-round to protect your home.
