You’re not dealing with typical suburban weather conditions. Salt air corrodes cheaper materials. Summer storms test every seam. Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack inferior siding.
That’s why we focus on materials and installation methods that actually work here. Fiber cement that won’t warp in humidity. Vinyl with UV protection that won’t chalk or fade. Wood treatments that resist moisture and pests.
When your siding installation is done right, you stop worrying about the next storm. Your energy bills drop because air isn’t leaking through gaps. Your home looks better, and it stays looking better.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Long Island homeowners for over two decades. We understand what works in coastal conditions because we’ve seen what fails.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Cheap siding contractors use inferior materials, rush installations, and disappear when problems arise. We use proven materials, take time for proper installation, and stand behind our work.
Our team knows Eastport’s building requirements, weather patterns, and the specific challenges your home faces. From Southampton to the East End, we’ve helped homeowners protect their investment with siding that performs.
First, we inspect your existing siding and assess your home’s specific needs. Every house faces different wind patterns, sun exposure, and moisture challenges.
Next, we discuss material options that make sense for your situation and budget. Vinyl for low maintenance. Fiber cement for maximum durability. Wood for classic appeal. We explain the real differences, not sales pitches.
Installation starts with proper preparation – removing old materials, checking and repairing sheathing, installing proper moisture barriers. Then we install your new siding with attention to expansion gaps, proper fastening, and weatherproofing details that prevent future problems.

Vinyl siding remains popular in Eastport because modern formulations resist salt air and UV damage better than ever. Insulated vinyl adds energy efficiency while maintaining the low-maintenance benefits homeowners want.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank offers superior durability against moisture, wind, and impact damage. It won’t rot, warp, or attract insects, making it ideal for our humid coastal environment.
Wood siding, when properly treated and maintained, provides unmatched natural beauty. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, while proper staining or painting extends its life significantly. For Eastport homes where aesthetics matter as much as performance, wood siding creates the classic Long Island look many homeowners prefer.
Fiber cement and high-quality vinyl perform best in coastal conditions. Fiber cement resists salt air corrosion, won’t warp from humidity, and handles temperature swings without cracking. Modern vinyl with capstock technology provides fade resistance and easy maintenance.
Wood siding can work well if you’re willing to maintain it properly. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, but requires regular staining or painting to protect against salt air and UV exposure.
Avoid basic vinyl without UV protection or wood without proper treatment. These materials will fail quickly in Eastport’s harsh coastal environment.
Siding installation in the Long Island area typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 for a standard home, depending on material choice and project complexity. Vinyl siding is the most affordable option, while fiber cement and wood cost more upfront but offer different benefits.
Coastal locations like Eastport may see slightly higher costs due to the need for enhanced weatherproofing and materials rated for salt air exposure. However, investing in proper materials and installation saves money long-term by avoiding premature replacement and energy waste.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Most residential siding projects in Eastport take 5-10 days, depending on home size and weather conditions. We work efficiently but never rush critical steps like moisture barrier installation or proper fastening.
Weather delays are common in coastal areas, especially during storm season. We schedule projects with buffer time and keep you informed about any delays. Quality installation can’t be rushed, and cutting corners to meet unrealistic timelines leads to problems later.
We coordinate with you throughout the project and clean up thoroughly each day, so your property remains livable during installation.
We handle both repairs and full replacement. Many Eastport homes only need partial repairs – replacing storm-damaged sections, fixing loose panels, or addressing specific problem areas.
For repairs, we match existing materials as closely as possible and ensure proper integration with your current siding. Sometimes repairs reveal underlying moisture damage or installation problems that require more extensive work.
We’ll assess your situation honestly and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes strategic repairs extend your siding’s life significantly. Other times, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and labor. Material warranties vary by manufacturer – typically 20-50 years for vinyl and fiber cement, with shorter terms for wood products.
Our labor warranty covers installation defects, improper fastening, and weatherproofing issues. We stand behind our work because proper installation is critical to siding performance, especially in coastal conditions.
We also offer ongoing maintenance services to help protect your investment. Regular inspections and minor adjustments can prevent small issues from becoming major problems.
We can install siding during mild winter weather, but avoid installation during extreme cold, high winds, or precipitation. Materials become brittle in very cold temperatures, and proper adhesion requires appropriate conditions.
Winter installation requires extra care with expansion gaps and fastening techniques. Some materials, particularly vinyl, need special handling in cold weather to prevent cracking during installation.
We typically recommend scheduling siding projects for spring through fall when weather conditions are most favorable. However, emergency repairs can’t wait for perfect weather, and we’re equipped to handle urgent situations year-round.
