Full siding installation, replacement, repair and storm response — built to seal out Central New York cold, moisture and wind.
Full tear-off and replacement in vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement or polymer shake — matched to your home and our climate, with the sheathing inspected before anything goes back on.
Siding for new construction, additions and full exterior remodels, installed with proper house wrap and flashing from the studs out.
Cracked or faded panels, storm damage and moisture problems — targeted repairs that fix the cause, not just the surface.
Energy-focused upgrades that add a foam backing behind the panel to cut thermal bridging and drafts through a long CNY heating season.
The details that finish the job and keep water out — wrapped trim, soffit and fascia that hold up to weather and won't need repainting.
Wind- and hail-damaged siding inspected and documented, so you have a clear record of the damage and the repairs needed.
Siding here isn’t a cosmetic upgrade — it’s the wall’s weather barrier. The homes that stay dry and warm are the ones where the material and the install are both matched to our climate.
In deep cold, standard vinyl gets brittle and cracks on impact — a stray branch, a snow blower, ice off the roof. Premium and insulated vinyl, fiber cement and polymer products hold up to cold impact far better than bargain panel.
Water that gets behind siding freezes, expands and works joints loose over a season. The defense is a proper weather-resistive barrier, correct flashing at every opening, and a drainage plane that lets any water that gets in get back out.
CNY storms push rain sideways and pile snow against lower walls. Wind-rated panels, correct fastener spacing and sealed penetrations keep that water on the outside where it belongs.
Siding is also an energy decision. Central New York runs one of the longest heating seasons in the country, and a lot of a home’s heat escapes through the walls — not just the windows. Insulated siding adds a continuous foam layer that reduces thermal bridging and drafts, so your furnace works less all winter. Paired with proper house wrap, it’s one of the few exterior upgrades that pays you back every heating season, not just at resale.
Years Of Experience Serving Central NY
Your siding is the second half of your home’s weather shell — everything the roof doesn’t cover. New siding seals out water, cuts the drafts that drive up your heating bill, and transforms how your home looks from the street.
Good siding is a system, not a single product: a continuous weather-resistive barrier (house wrap), flashing at every window, door and penetration, and sheathing that’s sound before anything new goes on. We don’t side over problems — if we find soft or water-damaged sheathing during tear-off, it gets replaced first.
| Material | Best For | CNY Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Budget, low maintenance, wide color range | Choose a premium grade — cheap vinyl gets brittle in deep cold |
| Insulated Vinyl | Energy savings, draft reduction | Strongest pick for our heating season; adds continuous R-value |
| Fiber Cement | Durability, a painted/wood look | Handles temperature swings well; heavier install, higher cost |
| Polymer Shake | Cedar-shake look without the upkeep | Excellent cold-impact and wind performance; premium price |
Quality siding is backed on two fronts: the manufacturer’s warranty on the material (typically a limited lifetime warranty with fade protection) and our workmanship warranty on the installation.
Because the install is what most siding failures come down to — bad flashing, wrong fasteners, no drainage plane — the workmanship side is the one that actually protects you. We stand behind ours.
Both work here; it comes down to budget and look. Premium and insulated vinyl are low-maintenance and the best value for energy. Fiber cement is more durable and gives a painted, wood-like finish, at a higher cost and weight. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific home before you decide.
It can, especially insulated siding. Central NY’s long heating season means a lot of energy escapes through the walls. Insulated siding adds a continuous foam layer that cuts thermal bridging and drafts, so your furnace works less through the winter. Paired with proper house wrap, it’s a year-after-year payback, not just a resale bump.
Isolated damage — a few cracked or storm-hit panels — is often a repair. Widespread fading, warping, moisture behind the walls, or siding near the end of its life usually points to replacement. We’ll give you a straight answer after we look.
Most residential siding projects run several days to about a week, depending on the size of the home, the material and any sheathing repairs. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Yes. Once the old siding is off, we inspect the sheathing and framing for moisture and rot and replace anything damaged before new siding goes on. Siding over bad sheathing just hides the problem.
Yes — and it’s one of the reasons to use us. We handle the roof, siding and gutters as one exterior system, so water is managed from the ridge to the ground without gaps between trades.
Yes — a manufacturer warranty on the material plus our workmanship warranty on the installation. We’ll go over both with your estimate.
We serve homeowners across Central New York and the surrounding region, reaching north toward Oswego, Fulton and Watertown. If you don’t see your town listed, just give us a call.
