Your siding does more than look good. It’s your home’s first line of defense against salt air, storms, and temperature swings that hit Long Island hard.
When we install your new siding, you’re not just getting a fresh look. You’re getting better insulation that cuts your heating and cooling bills. You’re getting materials that won’t need constant repainting or repairs. You’re getting protection that actually protects.
The result? A home that handles whatever weather comes its way while you enjoy lower energy costs and zero maintenance stress. That’s what happens when siding is done right the first time.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting East Patchogue homes for years. We understand what salt air does to exterior materials and how coastal storms test every installation.
We’re not the company that shows up, slaps on some siding, and disappears. We’re the local team that knows your neighbor’s house probably needs the same weather protection yours does. We’ve seen what works in this climate and what doesn’t.
When you choose us, you’re working with contractors who live here, work here, and stake our reputation on every job we complete in your community.
First, we inspect your current siding and assess what your home actually needs. No guessing, no overselling. We measure everything, check for underlying issues, and explain exactly what we found.
Next, we walk you through material options that make sense for your budget and Long Island’s climate. Vinyl, fiber cement, wood – we explain the real differences so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Then we handle the installation with proper preparation, insulation, and attention to details that matter. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you updated on progress. When we’re done, your home is protected and you know exactly what to expect from your new siding for years to come.

We install vinyl siding that won’t fade, crack, or need constant upkeep. Insulated options add an extra layer of energy efficiency that makes a real difference on your utility bills. For homeowners wanting premium durability, we install fiber cement siding like HardiePlank that resists salt air damage and looks great for decades.
Wood siding remains popular for its natural beauty, and we know how to install and protect it properly in our coastal environment. Every material gets installed with proper moisture barriers, insulation, and ventilation – details that prevent problems down the road.
East Patchogue homes face unique challenges from ocean proximity and seasonal weather extremes. We select and install materials specifically chosen to handle these conditions while delivering the performance and appearance you want.
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 20-30 years in Long Island’s coastal climate when properly installed. The key factors are using thicker gauge materials that resist wind damage and ensuring proper installation with adequate ventilation and moisture barriers.
Salt air and temperature fluctuations can affect lower-quality vinyl, causing it to become brittle or fade prematurely. That’s why we use premium vinyl products designed for coastal environments and install them with techniques that account for expansion and contraction cycles.
With proper installation, your vinyl siding should maintain its appearance and protective qualities for decades with minimal maintenance beyond occasional washing.
Insulated vinyl siding includes a foam backing that adds an extra R-value of insulation to your home’s exterior. This backing also makes the siding more rigid and resistant to dents and impacts compared to hollow-back vinyl.
The insulation layer helps reduce thermal bridging through wall studs and can improve your home’s overall energy efficiency. Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in heating and cooling costs, especially in older homes with minimal wall insulation.
The foam backing also provides better impact resistance and can help reduce exterior noise transmission. While it costs more upfront than standard vinyl, the energy savings and improved durability often justify the investment over time.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank offers superior durability and fire resistance compared to vinyl, especially important in Long Island’s variable climate. It won’t melt, warp, or become brittle from temperature extremes, and it handles salt air exposure better than most alternatives.
The material is also more impact-resistant and maintains its appearance longer without fading or chalking. Many fiber cement products come with 30-50 year warranties compared to 20-30 years for quality vinyl.
However, fiber cement requires more maintenance than vinyl – it needs repainting every 10-15 years to maintain warranty coverage. The installation is also more labor-intensive, making it costlier upfront. Choose fiber cement if you want maximum durability and don’t mind periodic repainting.
Look for obvious signs like cracks, holes, warping, or loose pieces that allow moisture penetration. Fading or chalking indicates the material is breaking down from UV exposure and may not be providing adequate protection.
Check inside your home for water stains on walls or ceilings, which often indicate siding failure allowing moisture infiltration. Rising energy bills can also signal that your siding and insulation system isn’t performing effectively anymore.
If your siding is over 20 years old and showing multiple issues, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. We can assess your current siding condition and help you understand whether repair or replacement offers better long-term value.
Siding costs vary significantly based on material choice, home size, and complexity of the installation. Vinyl siding typically ranges from $8-15 per square foot installed, while fiber cement runs $12-20 per square foot for quality materials and professional installation.
Factors affecting price include removal of existing siding, repairs to underlying structure, insulation upgrades, and architectural details like trim work. Homes with multiple stories, complex rooflines, or extensive trim work require more labor and materials.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Quality installation is worth the investment – cheap siding jobs often create expensive problems within a few years.
Yes, we can install most siding materials during winter months, though weather conditions may affect scheduling. Vinyl installation can continue in cold weather since the material remains workable, though we avoid installation during extreme temperature drops when materials become brittle.
Fiber cement installation requires temperatures above freezing for proper caulking and sealing. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and schedule work during suitable temperature windows to ensure proper installation.
Winter installation often means better availability and potentially lower costs since it’s off-peak season for exterior work. We take extra precautions to protect your home’s interior from weather exposure during the installation process and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
