Your siding isn’t just about looks. It’s your home’s first line of defense against Long Island’s unpredictable weather—from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles that can wreak havoc on unprotected walls.
Quality siding installation stops water infiltration before it starts. No more worrying about moisture seeping behind your walls, causing rot, mold, or structural damage that costs thousands to repair later.
You’ll also see the difference in your energy bills. Properly installed insulated siding creates a thermal barrier that keeps your heating and cooling costs down year-round, while giving your home the curb appeal that makes neighbors take notice.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been the go-to siding contractor for Smithtown families since 2001. We’re not some fly-by-night operation—we’re your neighbors, a family-owned business that’s built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t on Long Island homes. From vinyl siding that stands up to coastal weather to fiber cement that resists hurricane-force winds, we know which materials and installation methods deliver lasting results in our local climate.
Being fully licensed, bonded, and insured isn’t just about meeting requirements. It’s about giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected and the job will be done right the first time.
First, we inspect your current siding and underlying structure. We’re looking for any moisture damage, structural issues, or problem areas that need attention before new siding goes up. No surprises later—you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with upfront.
Next comes material selection and measurement. Whether you’re choosing vinyl for low maintenance, fiber cement for maximum durability, or wood for natural beauty, we’ll help you pick the right option for your home’s style and your budget.
Installation day means professional crews who show up on time and clean up after themselves. We handle everything from proper flashing and moisture barriers to precise cuts around windows and trim. The goal is siding that looks great and performs flawlessly for decades, not just until the next storm hits.

Vinyl siding remains popular with Smithtown homeowners because it handles our weather extremes without constant maintenance. Modern vinyl doesn’t fade like the old stuff, and it won’t crack in cold snaps or warp in summer heat.
Fiber cement siding, especially James Hardie products, gives you the look of wood with none of the headaches. It’s designed to withstand hurricane-force winds—something every Long Island homeowner should consider given our storm history.
Wood siding offers natural beauty but requires more upkeep. Cedar shake and traditional clapboard can look stunning on the right home, but you’ll need to stay on top of staining and sealing to prevent moisture problems that are common in our humid summers.
Most siding projects on typical Smithtown homes take 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during our stormy seasons.
We don’t rush the job to meet artificial deadlines. Proper installation means taking time for details like moisture barriers, flashing around windows, and precise trim work. These steps prevent problems that show up months or years later.
Single-story ranch homes usually wrap up faster than multi-story colonials. If we discover underlying issues like rotted sheathing or structural problems, we’ll discuss options before proceeding. You’ll always know where things stand.
Fiber cement siding performs exceptionally well in our climate. It won’t rot, warp, or attract pests like termites. James Hardie products are specifically engineered to handle hurricane-force winds and resist fire—both relevant concerns for Long Island homeowners.
Vinyl siding is another solid choice if properly installed. Quality vinyl won’t fade, crack, or need painting. It handles temperature swings from winter freezes to summer heat without problems.
Wood siding can work but requires more maintenance. Our humid summers and wet winters mean you’ll need regular staining and sealing to prevent moisture damage. Beautiful when maintained, but not the low-maintenance option most homeowners want.
Siding projects in Smithtown typically range from $5,000 to $13,000 for average-sized homes, though costs vary based on material choice, home size, and project complexity. Vinyl runs $2-7 per square foot installed, while fiber cement costs more but lasts longer.
Don’t make decisions based on price alone. Cheap installation often means corners cut on moisture barriers, flashing, or proper fastening. These shortcuts lead to expensive repairs later when water gets behind your siding.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why it’s worth the investment.
If your siding is over 20 years old, it’s time to start planning replacement. But age isn’t the only factor. Look for warping, cracking, gaps, or areas where caulk is failing around windows and trim.
High energy bills often signal siding problems. If you’re feeling drafts near exterior walls or notice temperature variations between rooms, your siding may not be providing adequate insulation anymore.
Visible damage like holes, loose panels, or areas where paint won’t stick indicates underlying issues. Water stains on interior walls near exterior surfaces are red flags that moisture is getting through your siding system.
We handle both repairs and complete replacement, depending on what makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a few damaged panels can be replaced without redoing the entire house. Other times, widespread issues make full replacement the smarter choice.
Small repairs work when damage is isolated—maybe storm damage to one side of the house or a few cracked panels. But if problems are widespread or your siding is nearing the end of its useful life, partial fixes become throwing good money after bad.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your siding needs and how long different solutions will last. Our goal is the right fix for your situation, not selling you more work than necessary.
We inspect the underlying structure before starting any siding project, but sometimes issues only become visible once old siding comes off. Rotted sheathing, moisture damage, or structural problems need addressing before new siding goes up.
When we find unexpected problems, we stop work and explain your options. We’ll show you the issue, explain why it needs fixing, and provide cost estimates for repairs. No work proceeds without your approval.
These discoveries aren’t fun, but they’re better found now than after your new siding is installed. Fixing underlying problems ensures your new siding performs as expected and protects your investment for years to come.
