You’re not just getting new exterior walls. You’re getting peace of mind during the next storm, lower energy bills every month, and a home that looks like you actually care about it.
When your siding is installed right, water stays where it belongs – outside. Your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work overtime because air isn’t sneaking through gaps. And when it’s time to sell, buyers see a home that’s been maintained, not one that’s been patched together.
The difference between good siding and great siding isn’t just how it looks on day one. It’s how it performs year after year, protecting your biggest investment from Long Island’s unpredictable weather.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Speonk homes for over two decades. We’ve seen what happens when siding is done right and when it’s done wrong.
We’re not the guys who show up with the lowest bid and disappear when problems arise. We’re the local team that answers the phone when you call, shows up when we say we will, and stands behind our work because we live here too.
Speonk homeowners know that Long Island weather doesn’t mess around. Neither do we. Every installation we do is done with the understanding that your siding needs to handle everything from summer humidity to winter ice storms.
First, we inspect your current siding and the structure underneath. No surprises halfway through the job – we identify any moisture damage, structural issues, or insulation problems upfront.
Next, we walk you through material options that make sense for your home and budget. Vinyl for low maintenance, fiber cement for durability, or wood for that classic Long Island look. We explain the real differences, not sales pitches.
Installation starts with proper preparation – protecting your landscaping, removing old materials carefully, and ensuring the underlying structure is sound. Then we install your new siding with attention to weatherproofing details that matter in our climate. Every seam, every corner, every piece of trim gets installed to keep water out and energy in.

Vinyl siding remains popular in Speonk because it handles our humid summers and cold winters without constant maintenance. Modern vinyl looks better than ever and comes with warranties that actually mean something.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank offers the durability of cement with the look of wood. It won’t rot, won’t attract insects, and stands up to Long Island’s coastal weather better than traditional materials.
Wood siding gives you that classic East End aesthetic, but it requires commitment. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, while other woods need regular maintenance. We’ll be honest about what each option really requires so you can make the right choice for your lifestyle and budget.
Most residential siding projects in Speonk take 3-7 days, depending on your home’s size and the material chosen. Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t install siding in rain or extreme conditions.
We start by removing old siding and inspecting the underlying structure, which usually takes a day. Installation of new siding typically takes 2-4 days for an average home. We finish with cleanup and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards.
The key is not rushing the job. Proper installation requires attention to detail around windows, doors, and corners where water infiltration is most likely to occur.
Vinyl siding typically costs 30-50% less than fiber cement initially, but the long-term value equation is more complex. Quality vinyl siding in Speonk runs $8-12 per square foot installed, while fiber cement ranges from $12-18 per square foot.
Fiber cement lasts longer and adds more to your home’s resale value, but vinyl requires less maintenance and is easier to repair if damaged. The best choice depends on how long you plan to stay in your home and your maintenance preferences.
We provide detailed estimates for both options so you can make an informed decision based on your specific situation and budget.
Look for obvious signs like cracks, warping, loose pieces, or fading paint. But the real issues are often hidden – moisture behind the siding, insulation problems, or structural damage that’s not immediately visible.
We perform thorough inspections that include checking for soft spots that indicate water damage, examining caulking around windows and doors, and looking for signs of mold or mildew. Sometimes what looks like a major replacement job can be handled with targeted repairs.
The age of your siding matters too. If it’s over 20 years old and showing multiple problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs.
Properly installed siding with adequate insulation can reduce your heating and cooling costs by 15-25%. The key is addressing air leaks and thermal bridging, not just adding new exterior material.
We inspect your current insulation and air sealing during siding replacement. Adding insulated vinyl siding or installing proper house wrap and insulation behind fiber cement or wood siding makes a noticeable difference in comfort and energy bills.
The biggest improvements come from sealing gaps around windows, doors, and penetrations that let conditioned air escape. New siding gives us the opportunity to address these issues properly.
Long Island’s coastal climate creates unique challenges – high humidity, salt air, temperature swings, and occasional severe storms. Not all siding materials handle these conditions equally well.
Vinyl siding performs well here because it doesn’t absorb moisture and handles temperature changes without cracking. Fiber cement is extremely durable but requires proper installation to prevent moisture infiltration. Wood siding looks great but needs regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage.
We recommend materials based on your home’s exposure to wind and salt air. Oceanfront properties need different solutions than inland homes, and we factor in your specific microclimate when making recommendations.
We start with protecting your landscaping and outdoor furniture, then carefully remove old siding to assess the underlying structure. Any moisture damage or structural issues get addressed before new siding goes up.
Installation involves multiple steps – house wrap or vapor barrier, insulation if needed, then the siding itself. We pay special attention to flashing around windows and doors, corner details, and trim work that affects both appearance and weather resistance.
Expect some noise and activity during work hours, but we clean up daily and communicate about any changes or issues we discover. The goal is completing your project efficiently while maintaining the quality that ensures your siding performs well for decades.
