About Home Siding Installation Process
The installation of the siding for any home is a complex process that often requires professional expertise. When you understand the basics of the installation process, it can help you communicate effectively with us and ensure a quality installation is complete.
Preparing Your Home for Siding Installation
Every home needs to be properly prepared before the installation of the siding starts. This includes three parts:
- removing all old siding if necessary
- repairing any damaged sheathing
- installing a weather barrier
When you prepare properly, it helps the new siding perform effectively.
Installation Steps
The overall installation process varies depending on the type of siding. It generally involves measuring and cutting siding pieces, attaching them to the house from the bottom up, and ensuring proper overlap for water resistance. Our team pays special attention to corners, windows, and doors to ensure a watertight seal. Get a professional looking installation of the siding when you turn to us.

5 Factors To Consider When Choosing Siding
There are several factors that come into play when selecting siding for your home. These factors will help you choose the right option for your specific needs and circumstances when it comes to the siding of your home.
1) Climate & Weather Resistance
Your local climate is crucial in determining the most suitable siding material. Areas with high humidity or frequent rainfall need siding that resists moisture and mold. In regions more prone to extreme temperature fluctuations, you’ll need siding that can withstand expansion and contraction without cracking or warping. We live in New York just like you and have been working on siding for years. We know the types of siding that works best for a Long Island home.
2) Maintenance Requirements
Different siding materials come with different needs in terms of their maintenance. Wood siding requires regular painting or staining to maintain its appearance and protective qualities. On the other hand, vinyl and fiber cement sidings are low-maintenance options that only need occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. So depending on your ability to maintain the siding, you can choose which one better aligns with your lifestyle.
3) Cost Considerations
The cost of siding includes both the materials and the installation process. Vinyl may have a lower upfront cost, however it is necessary to consider long-term expenses such as maintenance and potential replacement. Choosing the best siding for your home often involves a balance between the initial investment with its long-term value.
4) Energy Efficiency and Insulation
The installation of siding affects your home’s energy efficiency. Some materials will offer better insulation than others. On top of that, insulated siding options are available that can help reduce your energy costs. When choosing the right type of siding, you should consider its R-value. R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. Use this tool to figure out how it might impact your home’s overall energy performance.
5) Aesthetic Appeal
The professional installation of siding will greatly impact the curb appeal of your home. Before moving forward, consider how different materials and styles complement your home’s architecture and blend that with your personal preferences. Some materials, like wood, will provide for a more classic look. Whereas vinyl will provide a wide range of color options that can satisfy various tastes and styles. We can help you plan this stage.
