No more cracked, faded siding making your home the eyesore of the neighborhood. Quality siding installation means your house looks sharp while actually saving you money on energy costs.
Properly installed insulated siding keeps your home comfortable without cranking the heat in those brutal Long Island winters or running the AC constantly during humid summers. You’ll notice the difference on your first utility bill.
Water stays where it belongs – outside. No more worrying about moisture creeping behind failing siding and rotting your home’s structure. Your investment stays protected, and your property value goes up instead of down.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney has protected Shelter Island Heights homes for over 22 years. We’re the local contractor who understands exactly what our coastal climate does to exterior materials.
Salt air, humidity, nor’easters, and those temperature swings that crack inferior siding – we’ve handled it all. That’s why we only install materials engineered for Long Island conditions, not whatever’s cheapest.
Being fully licensed, bonded, and insured isn’t just paperwork. It’s your protection when things go wrong. We beat written quotes and back every job with full manufacturer warranties because that’s how local businesses should operate.
We start with a free inspection that tells you exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it right. No high-pressure sales tactics, just honest assessment of your siding’s condition and your options.
Our crew handles permits, protects your property, and removes old siding without damaging your landscaping. We fix any underlying problems we find – because covering up issues just creates bigger headaches later.
Installation happens efficiently with daily cleanup. You get a final walkthrough, all warranty paperwork, and maintenance guidance. The job’s not done until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Vinyl siding costs $5-9 per square foot and handles our climate perfectly. It won’t rot, never needs painting, and modern insulated versions cut energy costs significantly. It’s the smart choice for most Shelter Island Heights homes.
Fiber cement siding like James Hardie costs more upfront but delivers superior durability. It resists our salt air, humidity, and temperature swings while maintaining its appearance for decades. We’re Elite Preferred installers, so you get it done right.
Wood looks great but requires constant maintenance in our coastal environment. Metal corrodes from salt exposure. Stucco cracks from temperature changes. We help you choose materials that will actually perform in Shelter Island Heights’ unique conditions, not just look good in the showroom.
Complete vinyl siding installation in Shelter Island Heights typically runs $12,000-$25,000 depending on your home’s size and complexity. Basic vinyl costs $5-9 per square foot installed, while premium insulated systems cost more but deliver better energy savings.
Your final cost depends on square footage, architectural details, old siding removal needs, and material choice. Multi-story homes or those with bay windows, dormers, or complex rooflines require more labor time and materials.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We’ll beat any written quote from a licensed, insured competitor because we want to earn your business honestly.
Vinyl and fiber cement perform best in our coastal environment. Vinyl handles humidity, salt air, and temperature swings without rotting or requiring paint. Quality vinyl won’t crack, fade, or warp like cheaper alternatives.
James Hardie fiber cement is engineered specifically for coastal climates like ours. It resists moisture, won’t support mold growth, and maintains its appearance despite salt air exposure. The HardieZone system ensures products designed for our specific weather patterns.
Wood requires constant maintenance and often fails in our humidity. Aluminum can corrode from salt air. Stucco develops cracks from our freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend materials that actually work in Shelter Island Heights, not just what looks good initially.
Most residential siding projects take 5-10 working days depending on home size and weather. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality installation that lasts decades.
Preparation and old siding removal typically take 1-2 days. New siding installation takes 3-7 days for average homes. Complex architectural features or larger homes may need additional time, but we provide realistic schedules upfront.
Winter weather can extend timelines, but we maintain emergency protection if storms hit during installation. Our crews work clean and respect your property, so you’re not dealing with construction chaos for weeks.
All our installations include comprehensive warranty coverage. You get full manufacturer warranties on materials – typically 20-50 years depending on the product. Our installation work carries quality and craftsmanship guarantees.
James Hardie fiber cement includes their 30-year non-prorated warranty when installed by Elite Preferred contractors like us. Quality vinyl manufacturers offer 20-40 year warranties against defects, fading, and weather damage.
We handle warranty claims directly with manufacturers and ensure prompt resolution. Your warranty documentation comes with project completion, and we’re always available if issues arise years later.
Sometimes, but only when the existing surface is structurally sound and properly prepared. Installing over existing materials can save removal costs, but we never compromise your home’s integrity for short-term savings.
Vinyl can often go over wood, aluminum, or flat surfaces if they’re well-attached and undamaged. However, if we find rot, structural issues, or moisture problems underneath, proper removal and repair are necessary.
During our free inspection, we assess whether overlay installation is appropriate for your situation. We explain pros and cons honestly so you make the right decision for your home’s long-term protection and value.
Quality siding requires minimal maintenance when properly installed, but Long Island’s coastal environment creates specific care needs. Annual cleaning removes salt buildup, algae, and mildew that accumulate in our humid conditions.
Vinyl needs only periodic washing with mild soap and water. Avoid close-range pressure washing that can force water behind panels. Fiber cement may need repainting every 10-15 years, far less than wood siding.
We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your material and local conditions. Regular inspections catch minor issues before they become expensive problems. Modern siding dramatically reduces exterior maintenance compared to older materials.
