Your home stops fighting the weather and starts working with it. No more worrying about water damage creeping behind old, warped boards. No more watching your heating bills climb because your walls can’t hold the warmth in.
Quality siding installation means your weekends go back to being yours. You’re not scraping paint or replacing rotted sections every spring. Your home looks sharp year after year, and your neighbors notice.
The right siding choice today saves you thousands in repairs tomorrow. It’s protection that pays for itself through lower energy costs and higher property value when it’s time to sell.
We’ve been protecting homes across Nassau County for years at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc. We understand what Plandome Manor weather does to exterior surfaces – the salt air, the nor’easters, the temperature swings that crack lesser materials.
Your neighbors trust us because we show up when we say we will and finish jobs right the first time. We’re not the crew that disappears after the deposit clears or leaves you dealing with callbacks six months later.
Every installation we complete comes with proper permits, manufacturer certifications, and the kind of workmanship that stands up to Long Island’s toughest conditions.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding and underlying structure. No surprises halfway through the job – we identify any sheathing issues or moisture problems before we begin removal.
Next comes precise measurement and material ordering. We work with your schedule to minimize disruption and protect your landscaping during installation. Each section gets proper flashing, house wrap, and fastening according to manufacturer specifications.
The final step includes cleanup and a walkthrough where we explain your warranty coverage. You get documentation for insurance purposes and maintenance guidelines that keep your investment looking great for decades.

Vinyl siding remains popular in Plandome Manor because it handles coastal humidity without rotting or requiring constant repainting. Insulated vinyl options add R-value that cuts energy costs in these larger homes.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank offers the wood look homeowners want with none of the maintenance headaches. It won’t attract insects, won’t burn, and holds paint longer than any natural material.
For homes where authenticity matters, we install cedar and other wood sidings with proper moisture barriers and ventilation systems. The key is matching the right material to your home’s exposure, your maintenance preferences, and your long-term plans.
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 20-30 years on Long Island, often longer with proper installation and occasional cleaning. The key factors are using thicker gauge vinyl (.044″ or higher) and ensuring proper ventilation behind the siding.
Cheap vinyl will fade, crack, or warp within 10-15 years, especially on south-facing walls that get full sun exposure. We only install vinyl with fade-resistant technology and impact resistance ratings that handle hail and wind-blown debris.
Your warranty coverage depends on the manufacturer, but most quality vinyl comes with 25-year fade protection and lifetime material warranties when installed by certified contractors.
Insulated vinyl siding has a foam backing that adds R-value and reduces thermal bridging through wall studs. In Plandome Manor’s climate, this typically means 10-15% lower heating and cooling costs compared to standard vinyl.
The foam backing also makes the siding more impact resistant and reduces noise from rain or wind. It creates a flatter, more uniform appearance because it bridges minor imperfections in the wall surface.
The upfront cost is about 25-30% higher than standard vinyl, but energy savings usually pay back the difference within 7-10 years. For homes with older insulation or single-pane windows, insulated siding makes an especially big difference.
Fiber cement siding costs more upfront but lasts longer and holds paint better than vinyl. If you plan to stay in your home 15+ years and want the wood grain appearance, fiber cement usually makes sense.
Vinyl siding costs less initially and never needs painting, but color choices are limited to what’s available in the vinyl itself. Fiber cement can be painted any color and repainted when you want a change.
For coastal areas like Plandome Manor, both materials handle salt air well. Fiber cement is more fire resistant, while vinyl is more impact resistant. Your choice often comes down to appearance preferences and long-term maintenance plans.
Siding replacement costs in Nassau County typically range from $12,000-$25,000 for average-sized homes, depending on material choice and complexity. Vinyl siding runs $8-$12 per square foot installed, while fiber cement costs $12-$16 per square foot.
Additional costs include permits ($200-$500), disposal of old siding, and any structural repairs discovered during removal. Homes with multiple stories, dormers, or architectural details cost more due to increased labor complexity.
We provide written estimates that break down material and labor costs separately. This helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and makes it easier to compare quotes from different contractors.
Yes, Nassau County requires building permits for complete siding replacement projects. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and costs $300-$600 depending on your home’s value and project scope.
We handle permit applications as part of our service because we know local building codes and inspection requirements. This ensures your project meets all structural and energy efficiency standards.
Some minor siding repairs don’t require permits, but full replacement always does. Working without permits can create problems during home sales and may void your homeowner’s insurance coverage if issues arise.
Vinyl siding needs annual cleaning with a garden hose and mild detergent to remove dirt and mildew. Check caulking around windows and doors yearly, and replace any loose or damaged pieces promptly to prevent water intrusion.
Fiber cement siding requires repainting every 10-15 years, depending on exposure and paint quality. Inspect for cracks or chips annually and touch up small areas before they allow moisture penetration.
Wood siding needs the most maintenance – annual inspection, prompt repair of any damage, and refinishing every 3-5 years. Proper ventilation and moisture control are critical for preventing rot and insect damage in Long Island’s humid climate.
