Long Island siding — vinyl, Hardie, and cedar — installed by a Hicksville crew that does one thing and does it right. 420+ homes across Nassau and Suffolk since 2013, and we still pick up the phone.
No sales pitch. No "today only" nonsense. We measure your house, we give you a real number, you think about it.
Six quick questions. We'll call you back within 4 business hours. No sales pitch, ever.
We don't chase roofs, windows, gutters, or kitchens. We install vinyl, cedar, and James Hardie fiber cement on Long Island homes, and we've gotten pretty good at it.
We have broken this rule once in the last decade and still talk about it. Most siding complaints online start with "they never showed up." That will not happen here. If you would rather talk to a human than fill out a form, here is the number.
Every one of these is a Long Island house we resided. The "before" shot is the day we pulled up. The "after" is the day we drove away. No staging, no filters.
Luis Mendez has run our Long Island crews for 14 years. His team of four has completed over 160 jobs together — Levittown to Smithtown, Cape to colonial. A standard 2,000 sqft vinyl reside takes them three days. Hardie runs five. They finish earlier than quoted more often than not.
Full reside on a 1960s two-story colonial, 2,200 sqft exterior. Existing asbestos shingles removed by our abatement partner first (two days). Luis's crew came in day 3 and finished in 4.5 days including all trim work. Nassau building permit pulled and inspection passed same week. Homeowner had gotten three quotes — we were not the cheapest. They went with us because we were the only contractor who climbed the ladder on the first visit.
Aluminum siding, original to the 1972 build, had reached the end of its life. Owner wanted cedar look without the upkeep of real wood. We spec'd Maibec ND-16 in Natural Drift — the closest thing to real cedar without the annual sealing. Suffolk permit through the Town of Huntington building department, which can run 3 to 5 weeks for first-time applicants. We filed, tracked it, and had it approved in 18 days. Job completed in 4 days, one day ahead of schedule.
Classic Levittown cape — 1,650 sqft, one full story plus dormers. The dormers are where most contractors cut corners on j-channel and flashing. Luis's crew treated every dormer corner like a feature, not a problem. Job wrapped in two and a half days. Town of Hempstead permit pulled in advance. The insulated vinyl added about 12% to the base price; the homeowner noticed a difference in drafts by the first cold week in March.
There are dozens of siding companies on Long Island. Here is what sets us apart — in specific terms, not marketing language.
One of fewer than a dozen on Long Island
CertainTeed's 5-Star certification is their highest installer tier — earned through verified installation volume, quality audits, and customer satisfaction scores. Less than 5% of CertainTeed installers in New York State qualify. It means your CertainTeed Monogram or Cedar Impressions installation is backed by the full manufacturer warranty, including the enhanced labor coverage that standard installers can't offer.
Dual-certified — CertainTeed and Hardie
Being a James Hardie Preferred Contractor means Hardie has verified our installation training, reviewed our jobsite work, and authorized us to install with the full Hardie product warranty intact. The dual certification — both CertainTeed 5-Star and Hardie Preferred — is rare. Most LI siding companies focus on one product line. We run both at volume, which means whether you choose vinyl or fiber cement, you get the same certified crew.
Nassau HIC #H2811200000 · Suffolk HIC #57889-H
Long Island has two counties with separate Home Improvement Contractor licensing requirements. We hold active HIC licenses in both Nassau and Suffolk — not just one. That matters when permits are involved: a Nassau-licensed contractor cannot legally pull a Suffolk permit, and vice versa. We work across the island daily without that limitation. $2,000,000 general liability coverage and workers comp on every crew member, every day.
On top of manufacturer warranty
The estimate is free, it comes with a written itemized quote, and there is no expiration pressure. The number we give you on Tuesday is the number you sign if you call back three weeks later. On the back end: our 10-year workmanship warranty runs alongside the manufacturer warranty — CertainTeed's 25+ year material warranty and Hardie's 30-year core warranty. If something fails because of installation, we come back and fix it, no charge.
“We had three contractors out. Mike was the only one who climbed a ladder on the first visit. He showed us exactly where the old vinyl was failing behind the j-channel and explained why it mattered. The crew finished a day early, cleaned up better than our landscaper, and the Hardie looks incredible. Worth every dollar.”
“I'm a skeptical customer. I got four quotes, read every Google review twice, and called two of their references. Long Island Siding Co. was not the cheapest. They were the ones who answered the phone, showed up when they said they would, and didn't move the price after we signed. I'd hire them again tomorrow.”
“Our cape cod needed cedar shake and everyone else wanted us to go vinyl because 'it's easier'. Mike walked us through real cedar vs engineered for 40 minutes on the phone, told us honestly we'd be happier with Maibec given how much we travel, and he was right. Two years later and it still looks brand new.”
Our shop is on Old Country Road in Hicksville, smack in the middle of the island, so no address on Long Island is more than an hour from our front door.
Every other siding website makes you fill out a form and wait. We built actual calculators so you can see a real ballpark and visualize the finish before you even call us.
Every siding price you find online is a national average — which is useless on Long Island, where labor rates, permit fees, and disposal costs are meaningfully higher than the national median. These are the numbers we quote in Nassau and Suffolk every week.
Includes labor, tear-off, j-channel, and basic trim. CertainTeed Monogram 46 and Mastic Quest are the go-to lines for Long Island homes. Insulated vinyl adds $0.75–$1.25/sqft. A 2,000 sqft Cape on Long Island typically runs $14,000–$22,000 fully installed.
Fiber cement commands a premium because it takes two to three times longer to cut and install versus vinyl. Hardie ColorPlus boards arrive pre-finished — no painting on site. A 2,000 sqft colonial with Hardie runs $28,000–$42,000 depending on profile, trim complexity, and number of stories.
Real Western Red Cedar runs $14–22/sqft installed and needs periodic sealing. Engineered cedar (Maibec) runs $12–18/sqft with lower long-term maintenance. Either way, cedar is the premium tier for Long Island colonials and split-levels where curb appeal matters most. A 2,000 sqft home runs $34,000–$58,000.
Every one of these is a real question we hear weekly on the phone, in walk-throughs, or at Home Depot on a Saturday morning. No corporate hedging, just the answer.

Long Island's climate combines conditions that degrade lower-grade vinyl faster than almost any inland market. Here's what that means for material selection, permits, and timing.
Salt air off both the Sound and the South Shore accelerates oxidation on metal trim and chalking on lower-grade vinyl. Freeze-thaw cycles from December through March — single digits to the high 40s in the same week — stress any siding installed without proper expansion gaps. Add nor'easters hitting two to four times a winter with gusts of 60 to 80 mph, and you have a climate that separates good installs from bad ones fast.
That's why James Hardie consistently outperforms vinyl in Long Island's coastal zones. Hardie's ColorPlus finish is salt-spray tested to 2,000 accelerated hours. No organic material means freeze-thaw cycles can't degrade it the way they degrade vinyl's cellular foam backing over 15 to 20 years. If your home is in Long Beach, Bay Shore, Oyster Bay, or Port Washington, Hardie is the honest recommendation.
On permits: Nassau and Suffolk are separate counties with separate building departments, and within each county every town runs its own office. We hold HIC licenses in both Nassau and Suffolk — a Nassau-licensed contractor cannot legally pull a Suffolk permit — and we pull permits as a standard part of every job. For deeper guidance, see our vinyl vs Hardie comparison for LI homes.
Within a mile of the shoreline — Long Beach, Bay Shore, Oyster Bay, the East End — James Hardie is our material recommendation. The ColorPlus finish is salt-spray rated to 2,000 accelerated hours. Standard vinyl chalks and oxidizes within 10 years in these zones.
Nassau HIC #H2811200000 · Suffolk HIC #57889-H. We pull permits in both counties as standard. Nassau towns run 3–5 weeks for approval. Suffolk varies — Huntington and Babylon are current; Islip and Brookhaven run longer this spring.
Vinyl: 2–3 weeks from signed contract to crew arrival. Hardie: 3–4 weeks due to ColorPlus board lead times from our Hauppauge distributor. June and July slots fill fast — most homeowners who want a summer install are booking now.
