Why Fiber Cement Performs on the Coast
Fiber cement resists what actually damages Long Island siding: salt air, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycling. It does not absorb moisture the way wood does, does not corrode the way some metals do, and holds a factory finish far longer than field-applied paint on wood siding. A typical fiber cement reside on a 2,000 sqft Long Island home typically runs $30,000 – $56,000.
Installation detail matters more with fiber cement than with vinyl — fastener spacing, clearance at grade, and joint flashing all have to match the manufacturer's published spec, or the finish warranty will not hold. We install to that spec on every job, and we will show you the spec sheet before we start.
