Your siding takes a beating from Long Island’s coastal humidity, salt air, and wild temperature swings. When it fails, you’re looking at water damage, skyrocketing energy bills, and constant maintenance headaches.
Quality siding installation changes everything. You get a home that stays comfortable year-round without cranking up the heat. Your energy bills drop because your house actually holds the temperature you set. And you can stop worrying about the next storm because your exterior is built to handle whatever nature throws at it.
The right siding also means no more scraping, painting, or dealing with rot every few years. Just a home that looks great and performs even better, season after season.

Vinyl siding remains the most popular choice among Hempstead homeowners because it handles salt air, wind, and temperature swings without constant maintenance. Modern vinyl comes in hundreds of colors and textures, and quality options include insulation that can significantly reduce your energy costs.
Fiber cement siding, like James Hardie HardiePlank, offers the ultimate in durability and weather resistance. It’s fire-resistant, won’t rot or attract pests, and can last 50 years with minimal maintenance. While it costs more upfront, it’s often the smartest long-term investment for coastal homes.
Wood siding provides classic beauty but requires more maintenance in our climate. Cedar and other premium woods can work well when properly installed and maintained, but they need regular attention to prevent moisture damage and pest issues. We’ll help you understand exactly what’s involved so you can make an informed decision.
Most residential siding projects in Hempstead take 3-7 days to complete, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the work. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during Long Island’s storm season.
We always provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. For larger homes or projects that involve significant repairs to the underlying structure, the work might take up to two weeks. We coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your daily routine and never leave your home exposed to the elements overnight.
For most Hempstead homes, we recommend either high-quality vinyl siding or fiber cement siding. Both materials handle salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations extremely well without requiring constant maintenance.
Vinyl siding is more affordable and comes with excellent warranties, while fiber cement offers superior durability and fire resistance. Wood siding can work in our climate but requires much more maintenance to prevent moisture damage and pest issues. We’ll evaluate your specific situation, budget, and preferences to recommend the best option for your home.
Siding replacement costs in Hempstead typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on the size of your house, the material you choose, and the condition of the underlying structure.
Vinyl siding is generally the most affordable option, while fiber cement and premium wood siding cost more but offer different benefits. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that quality siding installation often pays for itself through energy savings and reduced maintenance costs over time.
We handle both siding repairs and complete replacement projects in Hempstead. Many siding issues can be fixed without replacing the entire exterior, especially if the damage is localized to one area.
Common repairs include replacing damaged panels, fixing loose or missing sections, and addressing issues around windows and doors. However, if your siding is old, has widespread damage, or is causing energy efficiency problems, replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home and budget.
Yes, quality siding installation can significantly reduce energy costs, especially if your current siding is old or poorly installed. Insulated vinyl siding and properly installed fiber cement siding create better thermal barriers that help your home maintain consistent temperatures.
Many Hempstead homeowners see 10-20% reductions in heating and cooling costs after siding replacement, particularly when we also upgrade the house wrap and insulation. With Long Island’s high energy costs, these savings can add up quickly. We can show you exactly how different siding options will impact your home’s energy performance so you can make an informed decision.
Our siding installations come with comprehensive warranties that include both material and labor coverage. Material warranties from manufacturers like James Hardie and premium vinyl siding brands typically last 30-50 years and are transferable to future homeowners.
We also provide our own workmanship warranty that covers the installation for several years. This means if there are any issues with how the siding was installed, we’ll come back and fix them at no cost to you. All warranty details are clearly spelled out in your contract, and we’re always available to address any concerns that come up after the work is completed.
