Your home stops fighting the elements and starts winning. No more salt air damage eating away at your exterior. No more storm damage requiring emergency repairs. No more maintenance cycles that drain your weekends and wallet.
Professional siding installation means decades of protection without the headaches. Energy bills drop because proper insulation keeps your conditioned air inside where it belongs. Property values reflect the upgrade when neighbors see the transformation.
The best part? You forget about scraping, painting, or calling contractors for patches. Quality siding handles Long Island’s punishment while you handle what actually matters.
We’ve been serving Russell Gardens families since 2002. We know what Long Island weather does to homes—especially in coastal communities where salt air doesn’t forgive cheap materials or sloppy installation.
As a family-owned business, we treat every project like our own home depends on it. We’ve watched inferior siding fail after five years. We’ve seen storm damage that could have been prevented. We’ve fixed installations done by contractors who didn’t understand coastal conditions.
Russell Gardens homeowners choose us because we know their neighborhoods. We understand Tudor and Colonial architecture from the 1920s and 1930s. We deliver work that matches the quality these established homes deserve.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding. Check for damage, moisture intrusion, energy loss points. You get an honest assessment of what needs attention and what can stay—no upselling, no scare tactics.
Material selection comes next. We show you options that work with your home’s architecture and budget. Vinyl, fiber cement, insulated options—we explain the real pros and cons without pushing unnecessary upgrades.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption. Our crews handle everything from moisture barriers to precise alignment. Your new siding performs as promised for decades because we do it right the first time.

Russell Gardens homes face unique punishment. Salt air from nearby water. Temperature swings from 20°F winters to 85°F summers. Occasional severe storms that test every building component.
Vinyl siding offers the best value for most homes here. Modern formulations resist fading, cracking, and salt corrosion while requiring virtually zero maintenance. Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank provides premium durability and mimics wood grain for historic properties.
For Tudor and Colonial homes built in the 1920s and 1930s, insulated vinyl siding often makes the most sense. Improves energy efficiency without compromising the classic aesthetic these neighborhoods are known for. Keeps the character, drops the energy bills.
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 30-40 years in Russell Gardens, even with salt air and weather extremes. The key is proper installation with appropriate moisture barriers and using materials designed for coastal conditions.
Modern vinyl formulations resist salt corrosion, UV damage, and temperature fluctuations far better than older products. We use materials specifically rated for coastal environments. That’s why our installations maintain their appearance and performance for decades.
Many Russell Gardens customers have siding that still looks great after 20+ years. Minimal fading, no structural issues, no regrets about choosing quality materials and professional installation.
Vinyl siding typically costs 30-50% less than fiber cement for materials and installation. For an average Russell Gardens home, vinyl runs $12,000-18,000 while fiber cement hits $18,000-28,000.
Fiber cement offers advantages that justify higher costs for certain homes. More fire-resistant, can be painted any color, provides premium appearance that matches Tudor and Colonial architecture beautifully.
The best choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term plans. Both materials significantly outperform wood siding in our coastal climate—that’s what matters most.
Sometimes, but it’s rarely the best approach for Russell Gardens homes built in the 1920s-1930s. These older homes often have underlying issues that need attention before new siding installation.
We typically recommend removing old siding to inspect sheathing, address moisture damage, and install proper moisture barriers. This ensures your new siding performs optimally without trapping problems underneath.
The extra cost of proper removal and prep work pays for itself. Better energy efficiency, longer siding life, peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time.
Most Russell Gardens homeowners see 15-25% reductions in heating and cooling costs after professional siding installation with proper insulation. Exact savings depend on current siding condition and materials chosen.
Insulated vinyl siding provides the biggest energy improvement. Adds R-value while eliminating thermal bridging through wall studs. This is especially beneficial for older homes built before modern energy efficiency standards.
Many customers tell us their new siding paid for itself within 8-10 years through energy savings alone. That’s not counting increased property value and eliminated maintenance costs.
Traditional earth tones complement Tudor architecture while standing up to our coastal environment. Deep grays, warm browns, muted greens are popular choices that age gracefully without looking dated.
We recommend avoiding pure white or very light colors. They show salt residue and require more frequent cleaning. Medium tones hide minor dirt and maintain their appearance longer in our climate.
Choose colors that enhance your home’s architectural details rather than competing with them. We can show you samples on your actual home to see how different options look in Russell Gardens’ natural lighting.
We handle both siding repair and replacement, but we’ll give you honest advice about which makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a few damaged panels can be replaced cost-effectively.
However, if your siding shows widespread fading, multiple cracks, or energy efficiency problems, partial repairs often cost more long-term. It’s like patching old tires—replacement becomes the smarter investment at some point.
We inspect your current siding thoroughly and explain options with realistic cost comparisons. You make informed decisions based on your home’s actual condition and long-term plans.
