When your siding works right, you stop worrying about storm damage, skyrocketing energy bills, and constant repairs. You get a home that looks sharp year after year while staying comfortable inside no matter what Long Island weather throws at it.
Quality siding creates a barrier that keeps moisture out, slashes energy costs, and gives you the confidence that comes with knowing your biggest investment is truly protected. The difference shows up immediately in your utility bills, your maintenance schedule, and especially when neighbors start asking who did your work.
No more watching other homes in Mecox get battered by storms while wondering if yours will hold up.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Long Island homes for years, and we know exactly what Mecox properties face. Coastal humidity that warps cheap siding. Winter storms that rip off poorly installed panels. Summer heat that fades inferior materials.
We’ve seen what works and what fails on Long Island homes. That’s why we only use materials engineered for this climate and install them using techniques that account for salt air, temperature swings, and the storms that roll through here every year.
When you work with contractors who actually understand your area’s challenges, you get results that last decades instead of needing repairs every few seasons.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current siding and your home’s specific exposure to Long Island weather. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect and when.
Once materials arrive, we protect your landscaping and set up the work area properly. Old siding comes off systematically, and we inspect the underlying structure for any moisture damage or issues that need attention before new siding goes on.
Installation happens methodically from bottom to top. We handle all the critical details like proper flashing around windows, ventilation behind panels, and trim work that separates professional installation from amateur work. Complete cleanup and a final walkthrough ensure everything meets our standards and yours.

We work with vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding options – each chosen specifically for how well they perform in Long Island’s challenging climate. Vinyl siding offers excellent weather resistance with virtually no maintenance. Fiber cement like HardiePlank provides superior durability and fire resistance that insurance companies recognize. Wood siding delivers classic beauty with proper treatment for moisture protection.
Your material choice depends on your budget, maintenance tolerance, and architectural style. We’ll explain exactly how each option performs in Mecox’s specific conditions – from salt air exposure to storm frequency.
Insulated siding options can cut energy costs significantly, especially important given Long Island’s temperature extremes and energy prices. We’ll show you the real numbers on upfront costs versus long-term savings for your specific home and usage patterns.
Most siding projects in the Mecox area take one to two weeks for completion, depending on your home’s size and the material chosen. Long Island weather can affect timing, especially during storm season, but we plan around forecasts and communicate any delays immediately.
Vinyl siding typically installs faster than fiber cement or wood, but we never rush the process at the expense of quality. The timeline includes complete removal of old siding, any necessary structural repairs, and full installation of new materials with proper trim and finishing work.
We coordinate with local weather patterns and have backup plans for unexpected conditions. Your project timeline includes buffer days for weather delays so you’re not left with exposed walls during storms.
Vinyl and fiber cement siding perform exceptionally well in Long Island’s humid, storm-prone environment. Both resist moisture infiltration and handle temperature swings without warping, cracking, or failing at the fasteners.
Vinyl siding offers the best combination of weather resistance and zero maintenance for most Mecox homeowners. It won’t rot, doesn’t need painting, and handles coastal humidity and salt air without degradation. Fiber cement provides even greater impact resistance and fire protection but requires periodic maintenance.
Wood siding can work beautifully with proper treatment and regular maintenance, but it demands more attention in our humid climate. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home’s specific exposure to weather and your long-term maintenance preferences.
Siding replacement costs vary based on material choice, home size, and project complexity. Vinyl siding typically runs $3-8 per square foot installed, while fiber cement ranges $7-12 per square foot. Most Long Island homes see total project costs between $12,000-25,000 for complete replacement.
These numbers include removal of old materials, any necessary structural repairs, and complete installation of new siding with proper flashing and trim. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – materials, labor, permits, and cleanup – so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
No surprise charges, no hidden fees, just straightforward pricing based on your specific project requirements. We also offer financing options to help spread the investment over time while you start enjoying the benefits immediately.
Yes, we install siding year-round on Long Island, though extreme weather conditions may cause temporary delays. Winter installation requires special techniques including temperature-controlled material storage and specialized tools to prevent cracking in cold conditions.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust schedules for optimal working conditions. Winter installation actually offers advantages including better contractor availability, faster scheduling, and potential cost savings during the off-season.
We use winter-grade adhesives and sealants designed specifically for cold-weather applications. Our crews are experienced in cold-weather installation techniques that ensure proper performance regardless of installation season.
Most siding replacement projects in Mecox require building permits, which typically cost $100-500 depending on project scope and local requirements. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance as part of our comprehensive service.
Permits ensure work meets local building codes and safety standards, protecting your investment and ensuring installation techniques that will withstand Long Island weather conditions. This also protects you during insurance claims if storm damage occurs.
We’re familiar with all Suffolk County and local Mecox requirements. You don’t need to navigate the permit process – we handle all paperwork, coordinate required inspections, and ensure everything meets code before project completion.
Modern siding materials require minimal maintenance, especially vinyl which only needs occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. We recommend gentle washing twice yearly to remove salt air residue, pollen, and environmental buildup that can accumulate on Long Island.
Fiber cement siding may need repainting every 10-15 years depending on color choice and weather exposure. Wood siding requires more regular maintenance including staining or sealing every 3-7 years to protect against Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings.
We provide detailed care instructions specific to your chosen material and Mecox’s climate conditions. Regular post-storm inspections help catch any issues early before they become expensive problems, and we’re always available for questions about proper maintenance.
