Hear from Our Customers
You want siding that handles whatever Long Island throws at it without constant repairs or sky-high energy bills. Our vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding installations create a barrier that keeps moisture out, temperature controlled, and your home looking sharp year after year.
No more worrying about warped panels from summer heat or cracked siding from winter storms. You get materials built for coastal conditions with installation that actually gets it right the first time.
Your neighbors will notice the difference, but you’ll feel it most in lower heating and cooling costs and the peace of mind that comes with real protection.
We’ve been serving Dering Harbor and Long Island since 2002. We’re the local family-owned company that understands what coastal weather does to your home’s exterior.
We’ve seen every type of siding failure Long Island can dish out – from vinyl warping in summer heat to wood rot from nor’easters. That’s why we only install materials and use methods that actually work in this climate.
As a fully licensed and insured contractor, we’re not going anywhere. When you call us in five years because you need a small repair, we’ll still be here. That’s the difference between working with a local company that’s built its reputation one satisfied customer at a time versus fly-by-night contractors.
First, we inspect your current siding and the structure underneath. No surprises halfway through the job – we identify any moisture damage, structural issues, or preparation work upfront.
Next, we remove old siding properly, protecting your landscaping and interior. We inspect and repair the underlying structure, install proper moisture barriers, and ensure everything is level and secure before any new siding goes on.
Installation happens systematically from bottom to top, with proper spacing for expansion and contraction. We pay attention to details like corner trim, window casings, and ventilation that other contractors rush through. Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through the finished work so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Dering Harbor’s coastal location demands siding that can handle salt air, high winds, and temperature swings. We specialize in vinyl siding that won’t crack in cold or warp in heat, fiber cement that stands up to hurricanes, and properly treated wood that resists moisture and pests.
Vinyl siding offers the best combination of durability and affordability for most Long Island homes. It requires virtually no maintenance, comes in dozens of colors, and modern insulated versions significantly reduce energy costs.
Fiber cement siding like James Hardie provides the ultimate in durability and fire resistance. It mimics the look of wood without the maintenance, lasts 30-50 years, and actually increases your home’s value. For Dering Harbor’s historic character requirements, we offer wood siding with proper treatments and installation methods that prevent the rot and pest issues that plague cheaper installations.
Fiber cement siding performs best in Long Island’s coastal conditions. It won’t crack from temperature changes like vinyl can, won’t rot like untreated wood, and stands up to salt air and high winds without deteriorating.
Vinyl siding is also excellent if you choose quality materials and proper installation. Modern vinyl won’t warp in summer heat like older versions, and insulated vinyl provides energy savings that offset the higher initial cost.
Wood siding can work but requires regular maintenance and proper treatment to prevent moisture damage and pest issues that are common in coastal areas.
Most residential siding projects take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and the extent of prep work needed. Single-story homes with minimal repair needs often finish in 3-4 days, while two-story homes or those requiring structural repairs take longer.
Weather can affect the timeline – we won’t install siding in rain or high winds because moisture behind new siding causes long-term problems. We’d rather delay a day than compromise the installation quality.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. Most delays come from discovering hidden damage during removal, which we address immediately rather than covering it up.
Dering Harbor requires building permits for siding replacement, and projects may need Architectural Review Board approval to maintain the village’s historic character. We handle all permit applications and know the local requirements.
The Architectural Review Board focuses on preserving Dering Harbor’s heritage and ensuring new work fits the community’s aesthetic. We work with their guidelines from the start to avoid delays or required changes.
As licensed contractors familiar with local codes, we ensure all work meets Suffolk County building requirements and passes inspections. This protects you from future issues when selling or refinancing your home.
Siding replacement typically ranges from $12,000-$25,000 for most Dering Harbor homes, depending on material choice, home size, and prep work required. Vinyl siding costs less upfront, while fiber cement costs more but lasts longer and adds more value.
The biggest cost variables are your home’s size, the amount of trim work needed, and whether we discover structural repairs during removal. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
We offer competitive pricing and beat any written quote from licensed contractors. More importantly, we do the job right the first time, which saves money over contractors who cut corners and create problems you’ll pay to fix later.
Vinyl siding requires minimal maintenance – annual cleaning with soap and water, and occasional inspection for loose panels or caulking that needs refreshing. Quality vinyl siding never needs painting and resists fading for decades.
Fiber cement siding may need repainting every 10-15 years depending on exposure and color choice, but otherwise requires only occasional cleaning and inspection. It won’t rot, warp, or develop pest problems like wood siding.
Wood siding requires the most maintenance with regular staining or painting every 3-5 years, plus inspection for moisture damage or pest issues. However, properly installed and maintained wood siding can last decades and provides unmatched natural beauty.
Yes, quality siding installation significantly reduces energy costs, especially if your current siding is old or poorly installed. Insulated vinyl siding can reduce heating and cooling costs by 15-20% compared to standard vinyl or deteriorating wood siding.
The key is proper installation with continuous insulation and air sealing. We install house wrap and seal all gaps that let conditioned air escape and outside air infiltrate. This makes your HVAC system work less to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Fiber cement siding also improves energy efficiency when installed with proper insulation techniques. The investment in quality materials and installation typically pays for itself through energy savings within 7-10 years, while also increasing your home’s value and comfort.
