Your home stops bleeding energy through gaps and cracks. No more drafts sneaking through your walls during those brutal February nights or sweltering August afternoons.
You’ll see the difference in your utility bills within the first month. Quality siding with proper insulation creates a thermal barrier that keeps your HVAC system from working overtime.
Your property value stays protected too. Fresh, well-installed siding signals to potential buyers that the home has been maintained properly. It’s one of those improvements that pays you back when it’s time to sell.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Upper Brookville homes for years. We understand how coastal humidity, nor’easters, and summer storms affect your exterior.
Most contractors treat every job the same. We don’t. Long Island homes face unique challenges that require specific solutions and materials that can handle salt air and temperature swings.
Our team lives and works in this area. When we install your siding, we’re not just completing a job and leaving town. We’re building a reputation in our own neighborhood.
First, we inspect your current siding and identify any underlying issues. Water damage, insulation problems, or structural concerns get addressed before new siding goes up.
Next, we help you choose materials that make sense for your home and budget. Vinyl siding offers low maintenance and energy efficiency. Fiber cement like HardiePlank provides superior durability and fire resistance. Wood siding delivers classic appeal but requires more upkeep.
Installation starts with proper preparation. We protect your landscaping, remove old materials carefully, and ensure your home’s envelope is properly sealed. Then we install your new siding with attention to expansion joints, flashing, and weatherproofing details that prevent future problems.

Upper Brookville homes need siding that handles coastal conditions. Salt air accelerates corrosion on cheap materials, while temperature fluctuations cause expansion and contraction that can crack inferior products.
We work with vinyl siding that includes proper UV protection and impact resistance. Our fiber cement options resist moisture, insects, and fire while maintaining their appearance for decades. For traditional wood siding, we use properly treated materials with appropriate sealers and finishes.
Insulated vinyl siding adds an extra layer of thermal protection. This matters in Upper Brookville where heating and cooling costs can be substantial. The foam backing reduces thermal bridging and can lower your energy bills by 15-20%.
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 25-40 years in Long Island’s coastal environment when properly installed. The key factors are UV protection and proper expansion joints.
Cheaper vinyl becomes brittle from sun exposure and salt air within 10-15 years. Professional-grade materials include titanium dioxide for UV resistance and impact modifiers that prevent cracking during temperature swings.
We see the biggest problems with DIY installations or contractors who don’t account for thermal expansion. Vinyl needs room to move, especially during summer heat, or it will buckle and warp.
Fiber cement siding like HardiePlank offers superior durability and fire resistance but costs more upfront. Vinyl siding provides excellent value with lower maintenance requirements.
Fiber cement resists impact damage, doesn’t fade as quickly, and handles extreme weather better. It’s also heavier, requiring more structural support, and needs repainting every 10-15 years.
Vinyl siding installs faster, costs less initially, and never needs painting. However, it can crack from impact and may need replacement sooner in harsh conditions. For Upper Brookville’s climate, both work well when properly installed.
Siding costs vary based on materials, home size, and complexity. Vinyl siding typically ranges from $8-15 per square foot installed, while fiber cement runs $12-20 per square foot.
Your total project cost depends on factors like two-story installation, trim work, and whether we’re removing existing siding. A typical Upper Brookville home might range from $15,000-35,000 for complete siding replacement.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises or change orders unless you request modifications to the original scope.
We handle both repair and replacement depending on your situation. Sometimes a few damaged sections can be replaced without redoing the entire house.
For localized storm damage or impact areas, we can often match existing siding and blend repairs seamlessly. This works best with newer installations where materials are still available and colors haven’t faded significantly.
Full replacement makes more sense when siding is approaching the end of its lifespan, has widespread damage, or when you want to upgrade materials. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach provides better long-term value.
Most siding replacement projects in Upper Brookville require building permits, especially when structural work is involved. We handle the permit application process as part of our service.
The Town of Oyster Bay typically requires permits for exterior alterations, and Nassau County has specific requirements for coastal areas. Permit fees usually range from $200-500 depending on project scope.
We ensure all work meets local building codes and passes required inspections. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims. Some contractors skip permits to save time, but that creates liability for homeowners.
We use drop cloths, plywood walkways, and protective barriers to minimize damage to your landscaping and hardscaping. Most plants can be temporarily relocated if needed.
Our crew takes photos before starting work to document existing conditions. We trim back vegetation only as necessary for access and always with your permission. Any plants that need removal are discussed upfront.
After completion, we clean up all debris and restore disturbed areas. If accidental damage occurs despite precautions, we take responsibility for repairs or replacement. Your property should look better than when we started, not worse.
