Siding installation & repair in Yonkers and NYC
Faded, cracked or warped siding lets water into your walls and drags down your home's value. We install and repair vinyl, fiber cement and wood siding on 1–3 family homes — properly flashed, wrapped and trimmed so the envelope stays dry for decades.
Free siding assessment: (718) 772-8498 — tell us what you're seeing (cracks, gaps, peeling paint, high heating bills) and we'll walk the house with you, bring material samples, and hand you a fixed written quote.
What we do
Siding is more than the panels you see. Done right, it's a complete weather barrier: house wrap, flashing, trim and capping working together. We handle the full scope:
- Vinyl siding — the most popular choice for 1–3 family homes in Yonkers and the boroughs. Low maintenance, never needs paint, wide color and profile range (clapboard, dutch lap, shake). We install it with the correct expansion gap so panels never buckle in summer heat.
- Fiber cement siding — a step up in durability and fire resistance, with the look of real wood boards. Heavier and less forgiving to install, which is exactly why it should be done by an experienced crew — blind nailing, gapped butt joints and sealed cuts matter.
- Wood siding — clapboard, cedar shake and board repairs or full re-siding for owners who want the classic look, especially on older Westchester homes. We prime every cut edge and back-flash penetrations so the wood lasts.
- Siding repair — storm damage, warped or missing panels, woodpecker holes, impact cracks. If a full replacement isn't needed yet, we say so and match the existing material as closely as the market allows.
- Aluminum capping & trim — window frames, door surrounds, fascia and rake boards wrapped in bent aluminum so exposed wood never rots and never needs painting again.
- Flashing & weatherproofing details — house wrap, window and door flashing tape, kick-out flashing where rooflines meet walls, and starter-strip and J-channel work. This is where cheap siding jobs fail; it's where ours don't.
- Gutters & leaders — replaced along with the siding so the whole exterior envelope is renewed in one project. Many owners pair siding with roofing for a complete refresh.
If your walls show signs of water already inside — stains, soft sheathing, mold — we address it before new siding goes up, often alongside our waterproofing crew. Covering a wet wall with new panels just hides the problem.
Our process
One call, one crew, one accountable contractor. Here's how a typical siding project runs:
- Free on-site visit — we inspect the existing siding, probe for soft or rotted sheathing, check flashing at windows and rooflines, and measure the house. You get honest advice on repair vs. replacement.
- Material and color selection — we bring samples of vinyl, fiber cement and trim options to the house so you can see them against your brick, roof and neighborhood.
- Fixed written quote — scope, material, timeline and price in writing. No allowances that balloon later.
- Permits and filings — where the city or the Yonkers building department requires a permit or filing for the work, we handle the whole process — permits, filings and inspections — under our license. You never stand in line at a counter.
- Tear-off and sheathing inspection — old siding comes off and we inspect every square foot of sheathing. Rot gets replaced now, while it's exposed — not discovered five years later.
- Weather barrier and flashing — house wrap installed shingle-style, seams taped, windows and doors flashed, kick-out flashing set where roofs meet walls.
- Installation — panels hung to manufacturer spec: correct nailing depth, expansion gaps, staggered joints, sealed penetrations. Trim and aluminum capping finish the openings.
- Cleanup and walkthrough — magnetic nail sweep, debris hauled away, and a final walk around the house with you before we call it done.
Most single-family re-siding projects take about a week on site, weather permitting; repairs are often done in a day.
How pricing works
No two houses are the same — so we never quote siding over the phone. We visit your property free of charge, measure the walls, check the substrate, and hand you a fixed written quote. No obligation, and no surprises after the tear-off.
Your price is determined by:
- Wall area and stories — total square footage and how much of it needs staging or ladders to reach
- Material — vinyl, fiber cement and wood carry different material and labor costs
- Substrate condition — rotted sheathing or old layers that need removal add scope
- Trim, capping and gutters — how many windows, doors and fascia runs get wrapped, and whether gutters are replaced
- Access — tight side yards, shared driveways and attached rows common in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens affect staging
We respond to every inquiry within 24 hours and can usually schedule the free visit the same week.
Curb appeal that pays for itself
For 1–3 family homes, new siding is one of the highest-return exterior upgrades: instant curb appeal, a tighter thermal envelope, and the end of the repaint cycle. If you're renting units, a crisp exterior photographs better and leases faster. Owners planning a bigger refresh often combine siding with stucco on masonry sections or a full exterior restoration.
Every borough, one local team
From our Yonkers headquarters we run siding crews across Yonkers, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and Westchester County. We know the housing stock — from detached Yonkers colonials to attached 2-family rows in the Bronx — and we stage each job for the block it's on.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to replace siding in NYC or Yonkers?
It depends on the scope and the municipality — like-for-like residential siding replacement is often exempt, but some work requires a filing. Either way, you don't have to figure it out: we confirm what's required and handle any permits, filings and inspections as part of the job.
Which siding material is best for a 1-3 family home?
Vinyl is the best value for most owners: low cost, no painting, easy repairs. Fiber cement costs more but offers superior durability, fire resistance and a real-wood look. Wood is the premium classic but needs ongoing maintenance. We bring samples of all three to the free visit and price the options side by side.
How much does new siding cost?
It depends on wall area, material, substrate condition, trim and capping scope, and access — which is why we quote only after seeing the house. The on-site visit is free, the quote is fixed and in writing, and we respond within 24 hours.
Can you repair a few damaged panels instead of replacing everything?
Yes. If the rest of the siding is sound, we replace the damaged panels and match the profile and color as closely as the market allows. If the material is discontinued or badly faded, we'll show you the closest match and let you decide.
How long does a siding installation take?
Most single-family re-siding projects take about a week on site, weather permitting. Larger 2-3 family homes or projects with heavy sheathing repair take longer. Repairs are often completed in a single day.
Does new siding help with insulation and energy bills?
Yes — a properly wrapped and flashed wall cuts air infiltration, and insulated vinyl panels or added foam board can raise the wall's R-value during re-siding. It's the cheapest moment to improve the wall, because it's already open.
What is aluminum capping and do I need it?
Capping is bent aluminum wrapped over exposed wood trim — window frames, fascia, rake boards — sealing it from water permanently. If your trim needs repainting every few years, capping ends that cycle and is usually done together with the siding.
What happens if you find rot under the old siding?
We inspect all sheathing after tear-off and replace anything soft or rotted before the new weather barrier goes on. We photograph what we find, show you, and price the repair before proceeding — nothing gets covered up.
