Hear from Our Customers
Your energy bills drop noticeably within the first month because your walls finally insulate properly. No more scraping, priming, and repainting every few years—your weekends become yours again.
Your home looks sharp from Veteran’s Memorial Highway, and you know it’s genuinely protected from Long Island’s brutal summers that warp cheap vinyl and freezing winters that crack inferior materials. When neighbors ask who did the work, you’re genuinely happy to recommend us because everything went exactly as promised.
The peace of mind is immediate and lasting. You’ve got house siding materials built specifically for our coastal climate, proper installation that prevents water infiltration, and a warranty that actually means something when you need it.
We’ve been protecting Commack and Long Island homes for over 22 years at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc. We’re not the contractors who show up, slap something on your house, and disappear when problems arise.
We understand exactly what Commack homeowners face—the salt air from the Sound that corrodes inferior materials, the summer heat that reaches 95+ degrees and warps cheap vinyl siding, and the nor’easters that test every single installation detail. We’ve seen what works long-term and what fails within five years.
As a fully licensed, bonded, and insured contractor serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties, we handle everything from building permits to final cleanup. Your project gets done right the first time, with proper moisture barriers and code-compliant installation that passes inspection without issues.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your current exterior home cladding and an honest conversation about what you want to achieve. No high-pressure sales pitch or inflated estimates—just straightforward assessment and clear options that fit your budget and goals.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle all building permits and coordinate with Commack’s building department. Our crew arrives when promised, protects your landscaping and vehicles, and systematically removes your old siding without damaging your home’s structure or existing trim.
Installation happens methodically, starting with proper moisture barriers and insulation upgrades where needed. We don’t cut corners on critical details—proper flashing around windows, secure fastening that allows for thermal expansion, and precise trim work that looks professionally finished. When we complete your project, your property looks better than when we arrived, and you’ve got materials engineered to last decades in Long Island’s challenging climate.

We install premium vinyl siding specifically engineered to handle Long Island’s temperature swings from 10-degree winters to 95-degree summers without warping, cracking, or fading. Modern insulated vinyl siding includes foam backing that dramatically improves energy efficiency—something Commack homeowners appreciate when PSEG bills arrive.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank delivers the authentic look of wood without the maintenance nightmares. It won’t rot from our humid summers, warp from temperature extremes, or attract the carpenter ants and termites common in Suffolk County. It’s also designed to withstand hurricane-force winds—a real consideration for Long Island coastal properties.
For homeowners who want genuine wood character, we install premium cedar siding with advanced moisture management systems. Each material option comes with comprehensive manufacturer warranties, and our installation is backed by our workmanship guarantee. We help you choose based on your home’s specific architecture, your maintenance preferences, and your realistic budget—not what generates the highest profit margin for us. Local factors matter too: homes near the water need different considerations than properties inland, and we factor in your specific microclimate when recommending materials.
Quality vinyl siding professionally installed lasts 25-40 years in Long Island’s coastal environment, but material quality and installation details make all the difference. Cheap vinyl from big box stores warps in our summer heat and becomes brittle during winter freezes.
We install only premium-grade vinyl with UV inhibitors and impact modifiers specifically designed for extreme temperature variations. Proper installation includes correct expansion gaps, secure fastening that doesn’t over-tighten, and quality trim work that prevents water infiltration behind panels.
The color goes completely through the material thickness, so minor scratches don’t show white underneath like painted surfaces. With occasional power washing and basic maintenance, you’re looking at decades of protection without repainting, scraping, or major repairs. That’s why we warranty both the materials and our installation workmanship—we’re confident in what we install.
Fiber cement costs 30-50% more upfront but delivers superior long-term value, especially in Long Island’s challenging climate conditions. It won’t warp during heat waves, crack during polar vortex events, or get damaged by hail storms or flying debris during nor’easters.
The durability advantage is substantial—quality fiber cement lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance beyond occasional repainting. It’s also fire-resistant and pest-proof, which some insurance companies recognize with homeowner’s premium discounts. You can paint it any color you want, and it holds paint significantly longer than wood siding.
For homeowners planning to stay long-term or wanting maximum curb appeal and resale value, fiber cement typically pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs, energy savings, and higher property values. We run actual cost comparisons based on your specific situation, including energy efficiency improvements and maintenance projections, so you can make an informed decision.
Most siding replacement projects in Commack require building permits from the Town of Huntington Building Department, especially when changing materials, adding insulation, or doing any structural modifications. Permit requirements protect you by ensuring code-compliant installation and proper inspections.
We handle all permit applications, architectural drawings if needed, and coordinate inspections as part of our comprehensive service. The building department requires detailed plans showing moisture barrier installation, insulation details, fire-resistant materials where required, and proper flashing around openings.
Permits typically take 1-2 weeks for approval and cost $150-400 depending on project scope. Working without proper permits creates serious problems when you sell your home, file insurance claims, or need future work done. As a licensed contractor familiar with local codes, we ensure everything meets current requirements and passes inspection without delays or callbacks.
Start with your home’s architectural style, existing features like roofing and foundation materials, and your neighborhood’s character. We bring actual material samples to your property so you can see how colors and textures look in different lighting conditions throughout the day—showroom lighting is completely different from natural outdoor light.
Current 2025 trends favor darker colors like slate gray and navy blue, mixed materials for visual interest, and earth-toned palettes, but classic choices like whites and warm neutrals remain popular because they’re timeless and broadly appealing. Consider your long-term plans—bold trendy colors might look dated in 10 years.
We also factor in practical considerations like heat absorption (darker colors can increase cooling costs), maintenance requirements, and how well specific colors hold up in our UV-intense coastal environment. Our goal is helping you choose something you’ll genuinely love for decades, not just what looks impressive in marketing photos or what’s easiest for us to install.
Our installation includes a comprehensive 10-year workmanship warranty covering all installation-related issues including proper fastening, moisture barrier installation, trim work, and finish details. This covers our labor and any materials needed to correct installation problems at no charge to you.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically provide 20-50 year coverage against defects, color fading, and performance failures. Premium vinyl includes lifetime warranties on materials, while fiber cement typically offers 30-50 year coverage depending on the specific product line.
We warranty against installation-related problems like water infiltration, loose panels, trim separation, or caulking failures. If something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we return promptly and fix it properly without charging for labor or materials. We also help you navigate manufacturer warranty claims if material defects occur. The combination provides complete protection for your investment and peace of mind for decades.
Most residential siding installations take 4-8 days depending on your home’s size, architectural complexity, material choice, and weather conditions. We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate immediately about any changes or delays that might occur.
Preparation and old siding removal typically requires 1-2 days, including protecting landscaping and properly disposing of old materials. Installation proceeds systematically—we complete entire sections rather than jumping around, so your home stays weather-tight and looks professional throughout the process.
Weather delays are the primary variable we can’t control, but we work efficiently when conditions allow and never rush quality details to meet artificial deadlines. We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your routine, clean up completely each day, and keep you informed about daily progress. You’ll know exactly what to expect each day and when final completion will occur.
