You’ve noticed the cracks. Maybe some panels are pulling away from your house, or that storm last month left visible damage you keep meaning to address. Here’s what you need to know: every day you wait, moisture gets deeper into your home’s structure.
East Northport’s climate hits your siding hard. With 47 inches of rain annually and humidity that swings from 28% in winter to 75% in summer, your exterior cladding takes a beating. When siding fails, water finds its way behind your walls, leading to rot, mold, and expensive structural repairs that could have been prevented.
Professional siding repair stops the damage cycle. You get a weatherproof barrier that actually works, lower energy bills from better insulation, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected from whatever Long Island weather throws at it next.
We’ve been the go-to siding contractor for Suffolk County homeowners since we opened our doors over a decade ago. We’re fully licensed, insured, and family-owned, which means when you call us, you’re talking to people who actually live and work in this community.
We’ve repaired siding on thousands of Long Island homes, from historic properties in Northport Village to newer construction in East Northport’s residential neighborhoods. Our team knows exactly how coastal humidity, nor’easters, and Long Island’s temperature swings affect different siding materials.
What sets us apart is simple: we show up when we say we will, we do the work right the first time, and we stand behind it with a lifetime warranty on workmanship. No surprises, no runarounds, just honest service from people who understand that your home is your biggest investment.
First, we’ll come out and assess the damage. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a real evaluation where we identify what needs fixing, what can wait, and what underlying issues might be lurking behind your siding. You’ll get straight answers about the scope of work and realistic timelines.
Next, we prepare your property properly. Materials get staged where they won’t damage your landscaping, we roll in a dumpster for debris, and we protect vulnerable areas like windows and plantings. This prep work is what separates professional contractors from the guys who show up and start tearing things apart.
Then comes the actual repair work. Damaged siding gets removed carefully to avoid disturbing good sections. We inspect and repair any sheathing or structural issues we find, install proper house wrap and flashing, then put up your new siding with the attention to detail that ensures it’ll last decades, not years.

Whether you’re dealing with vinyl siding crack repair, cedar shake restoration, or complete panel replacement after storm damage, we handle it all. Our experience covers every common siding material found on Long Island homes, from traditional wood clapboard to modern fiber cement.
East Northport homes face unique challenges. Properties near the harbor deal with salt air that accelerates wear, while inland homes battle the freeze-thaw cycles that crack and warp siding panels. We stock materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate, including products from trusted manufacturers like Mastic, Norandex, and CertainTeed.
Our repair services include fixing loose or detached siding, addressing rot and mold issues, replacing warped sections, and handling exterior cladding repairs that restore both function and appearance. We also tackle the less obvious problems – improving ventilation behind siding, upgrading insulation during repairs, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent future issues.
Siding repair costs vary based on the extent of damage, materials involved, and accessibility of the affected areas. Basic vinyl siding crack repair typically runs $2-16 per square foot, while more extensive damage requiring panel replacement can range from $75 to several thousand dollars depending on the scope.
Here’s what affects your final cost: the type of siding material (vinyl is generally less expensive to repair than cedar or fiber cement), how much underlying damage we find once we open things up, and whether we need to address structural issues behind the siding. Storm damage repairs often cost more because wind and water damage rarely affect just the surface – there’s usually hidden damage to sheathing, insulation, or framing.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to decide on the spot.
In most cases, yes, but there are some important considerations. If your siding is less than five years old and hasn’t been heavily exposed to direct sunlight, we can usually find an exact match. However, siding that’s been on your house longer will have faded from UV exposure, making perfect color matching challenging.
For older siding, we have a few options. We can source the closest possible match and blend the repair area with existing sections for a seamless look. Sometimes we’ll recommend replacing an entire wall section rather than patching, especially if the siding is significantly faded or if we’re dealing with discontinued colors or styles.
With wood siding like cedar shake, matching is often easier because we can stain or paint the new sections to blend perfectly with the existing material. We keep samples of common Long Island siding profiles and colors to help you see exactly what the finished repair will look like before we start work.
Most siding repairs take one to three days, depending on the scope of work and weather conditions. Simple fixes like replacing a few damaged vinyl panels or patching small holes can often be completed in a single day. More extensive repairs involving multiple walls or underlying structural work typically take two to three days.
Weather plays a big role in timing. We won’t install siding in rain or when temperatures are too cold for proper adhesion and sealing. Long Island’s unpredictable weather means we sometimes need to adjust schedules, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Before we start, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on the specific repairs needed and current weather forecasts. We also build in some buffer time for unexpected discoveries – like finding additional damage once we remove the old siding – so your project stays on track even if we encounter surprises.
Homeowners insurance often covers siding damage caused by storms, wind, hail, or other sudden weather events, but coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of damage. Storm damage from recent nor’easters or severe thunderstorms typically qualifies for coverage, while gradual wear and tear usually doesn’t.
The key is documenting everything properly. Take photos of the damage before making any temporary repairs, and contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the storm. We can work directly with your insurance adjuster to provide detailed estimates and help ensure all storm-related damage gets properly assessed and covered.
We’ve worked with most major insurance companies on Long Island storm damage claims. Our detailed documentation and experience with insurance requirements help streamline the claims process and maximize your coverage. We can even handle the paperwork and communicate directly with your adjuster to make the whole process easier for you.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on the extent of damage, the age of your existing siding, and your long-term plans for the property. Generally, if less than 30% of your siding is damaged and the remaining material is in good condition, repair makes financial sense.
Repair is the right choice when you have isolated damage from impacts, small sections of rot or cracking, or a few loose panels that can be re-secured. It’s faster, less expensive, and maintains the existing look of your home. However, if we find extensive hidden damage, widespread deterioration, or if your siding is approaching the end of its useful life, replacement often provides better long-term value.
Age matters too. Siding that’s over 20 years old and showing multiple problem areas is often better replaced than patched. New siding comes with warranties, improved energy efficiency, and the peace of mind that you won’t be dealing with ongoing repair issues. We’ll give you honest advice about which approach makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
Regular maintenance is your best defense against costly siding repairs. Walk around your house twice a year – spring and fall – looking for loose panels, small cracks, or areas where caulking has failed. Catching problems early means simple fixes instead of major repairs.
Keep your gutters clean and properly functioning. Overflowing gutters dump water directly onto your siding, leading to rot, staining, and premature failure. Trim vegetation so it doesn’t rub against your siding, and make sure sprinklers aren’t constantly hitting your exterior walls. These simple steps prevent most moisture-related siding problems.
Pay attention to your home’s drainage patterns, especially after heavy rains. Water should flow away from your foundation, not pool against your siding. If you notice areas where water consistently hits your siding during storms, consider installing splash guards or adjusting your landscaping to redirect the flow. A little prevention now saves thousands in repair costs later.
