You’re tired of watching your siding fade, warp, or get beaten up by coastal storms. The right siding installation means you won’t be repainting every few years or dealing with water damage creeping behind failing panels.
When your siding actually works, you get real protection from the elements that hit East Hampton hardest. No more energy bills spiking because air leaks through gaps. No more wondering if the next storm will leave you with expensive repairs.
Quality siding installation gives you decades of protection, not just a temporary fix. You’ll see the difference in your heating costs, your home’s appearance, and your peace of mind when the weather turns rough.
We’ve been protecting Long Island homes from coastal weather for years. We understand what East Hampton properties face—from salt air that corrodes inferior materials to storms that test every installation detail.
We’re licensed, insured, and focused on getting your siding project right the first time. Too many contractors treat coastal siding like any other job, but East Hampton homes need specific approaches to handle the unique challenges here.
Our team knows which materials hold up against your local conditions and how to install them properly. We’ve seen what works and what fails when coastal weather hits, and we use that experience on every project.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current siding and your home’s specific exposure to coastal elements. Every East Hampton property faces different wind patterns, salt exposure, and moisture challenges, so we customize our approach accordingly.
Next, we remove old siding carefully, checking for any underlying damage that needs attention before new installation begins. We inspect and upgrade house wrap, flashing, and other weather barriers that coastal homes depend on for real protection.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications plus our own coastal-specific techniques. We pay extra attention to joints, corners, and areas where water typically tries to penetrate. Every piece gets properly secured to handle the wind loads your location experiences.
Final inspection covers both appearance and weather resistance. We test critical areas and walk you through maintenance requirements so your new siding delivers the long-term performance you’re investing in.

Vinyl siding remains popular in East Hampton because quality products resist salt air, won’t rot, and handle temperature swings without cracking. Modern vinyl offers excellent color retention and can last 20-40 years with minimal maintenance—perfect for busy homeowners or seasonal properties.
Fiber cement siding provides superior durability for homes facing severe coastal exposure. It won’t burn, handles hurricane-force winds, and resists moisture infiltration better than most alternatives. While it costs more upfront, fiber cement often proves more economical over decades of coastal weather.
Wood siding, particularly cedar, offers natural beauty but requires regular maintenance in East Hampton’s environment. If you choose wood, proper installation with quality weather barriers becomes critical to prevent moisture problems that plague coastal installations.
We help you choose based on your specific location, budget, and maintenance preferences. Some East Hampton properties benefit from premium materials, while others do perfectly well with quality vinyl properly installed.
Fiber cement and quality vinyl siding perform best in East Hampton’s coastal environment. Fiber cement offers maximum durability against salt air, high winds, and moisture, making it ideal for oceanfront properties or homes with severe exposure.
Quality vinyl siding provides excellent coastal performance at lower cost, especially for properties with some natural wind protection. Modern vinyl resists salt corrosion, won’t absorb moisture, and maintains color well under intense UV exposure.
Wood siding can work in East Hampton but requires significant maintenance commitment. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects better than other woods, but you’ll need regular staining or painting every 3-5 years to maintain protection against coastal elements.
Most East Hampton siding installations take 5-10 days depending on home size, material choice, and weather conditions. Larger homes or complex architectural details may require additional time to ensure proper installation.
Weather plays a bigger role in coastal installations since we can’t install siding during heavy rain or high winds. We schedule projects with weather contingencies built in, especially during storm season.
Fiber cement installation typically takes longer than vinyl due to the material’s weight and cutting requirements. We also spend extra time on coastal-specific weatherproofing details that protect your investment long-term.
East Hampton typically requires building permits for complete siding replacement, especially if structural modifications are needed. We handle permit applications and ensure all work meets local building codes and coastal construction requirements.
Historic district properties may have additional design review requirements. We’re familiar with East Hampton’s historic preservation guidelines and can help navigate any special approval processes your property might require.
Partial siding repairs usually don’t require permits, but we always verify requirements for your specific project. Getting proper permits protects your investment and ensures insurance coverage remains valid.
East Hampton siding costs vary significantly based on material choice, home size, and coastal exposure requirements. Vinyl siding typically runs $8-15 per square foot installed, while fiber cement ranges from $12-20 per square foot.
Coastal installations often cost more than inland projects due to additional weatherproofing requirements and premium fasteners needed for wind resistance. However, this upfront investment prevents expensive repairs from weather damage later.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any necessary structural improvements. Many East Hampton homeowners find that investing in quality materials and installation saves money over the long term compared to cheaper options that fail prematurely.
Installing new siding over existing materials is sometimes possible but rarely recommended for East Hampton coastal properties. Proper coastal installation requires examining and upgrading underlying weather barriers that protect against moisture infiltration.
Removing old siding allows us to inspect for damage, upgrade insulation, and install modern house wrap systems that provide better protection. This is especially important in coastal environments where hidden moisture damage is common.
In some cases, we can install over existing materials if the substrate is sound and properly prepared. However, most East Hampton properties benefit from complete removal and fresh installation that addresses coastal-specific weatherproofing requirements.
Vinyl siding requires minimal maintenance in East Hampton—annual washing with mild detergent removes salt buildup and keeps it looking new. Check caulking around windows and trim yearly, and inspect for any loose panels after major storms.
Fiber cement siding needs periodic painting every 10-15 years and regular caulking inspection. The material itself resists coastal conditions well, but maintaining paint and sealant protection is crucial for long-term performance.
Wood siding requires the most maintenance, with staining or painting needed every 3-5 years in East Hampton’s environment. Regular inspection for moisture infiltration and prompt repair of any damage prevent costly structural problems common with coastal wood installations.
