Your full home siding replacement includes complete removal and disposal of existing materials, proper house wrap installation, and premium siding materials designed for coastal conditions. All trim work, soffit, and fascia coordination happens as part of the project.
In Gilgo’s barrier island location, proper moisture management is critical. Your installation includes enhanced weatherproofing techniques that account for the area’s unique exposure to salt air and storm conditions that don’t affect inland properties.
You also get thorough cleanup, permit handling, and detailed maintenance guidance. Since many Gilgo homes are seasonal or second properties, we provide specific care instructions for both occupied and vacant periods to ensure your siding performs optimally year-round.
Siding installation costs in the Gilgo area typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for a full home replacement, depending on your home’s size, material choice, and complexity of the installation. Coastal properties often require additional weatherproofing measures that inland homes don’t need.
The final price includes removal and disposal of existing siding, house wrap, premium materials rated for salt air exposure, all trim work, and complete cleanup. Factors that affect cost include the number of stories, architectural details, and whether you choose vinyl, fiber cement, or composite materials.
You’ll get a detailed, transparent estimate that breaks down every aspect of the project. No hidden fees, no surprise charges for “unforeseen conditions” that any experienced contractor should anticipate in this area.
Fiber cement and high-end vinyl siding perform best in Gilgo’s salt air and storm conditions. These materials resist fading, cracking, and the corrosive effects of coastal exposure that can destroy lesser materials within just a few years.
Fiber cement offers the durability of masonry with the workability of wood, and it won’t rot, warp, or attract pests. High-quality vinyl siding provides excellent weather resistance and energy efficiency at a lower cost, with modern formulations that resist the chalking and fading that affected older vinyl products.
Wood siding, while attractive, requires extensive maintenance in this environment and isn’t recommended for most Gilgo properties. Cedar can work with proper treatment and regular maintenance, but most homeowners find the ongoing upkeep isn’t worth the aesthetic benefits given the harsh coastal conditions.
Most residential siding installations in Gilgo take 5-10 business days, depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during storm season when high winds make exterior work unsafe.
The process starts with material delivery and old siding removal, which typically takes 1-2 days. Installation of house wrap, new siding, and trim work follows, with most homes seeing steady daily progress. Final cleanup and inspection happen on the last day.
Coastal weather patterns mean scheduling flexibility is important. We plan for weather delays and communicate clearly about any schedule adjustments. Rush jobs often lead to problems, so proper timing ensures your installation is done right the first time.
Yes, permit handling is included in your siding installation service. Gilgo properties fall under Town of Babylon jurisdiction, and most full siding replacements require building permits, especially if any structural modifications are needed.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, so we start it well before your installation date. This includes submitting plans, material specifications, and ensuring all work meets current building codes for coastal construction requirements.
Having your contractor handle permits ensures everything is done correctly and legally. DIY permit applications often have errors that cause delays, and working with unlicensed contractors who skip permits can create serious problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims.
Properly installed siding with adequate insulation can reduce your energy costs by 15-25%, especially important given Long Island’s high electricity rates. Insulated siding creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Coastal homes face unique energy challenges from constant wind exposure and temperature fluctuations. Quality siding installation eliminates air leaks around windows, doors, and corners that force your HVAC system to work harder year-round.
The energy savings are most noticeable in homes built before 1980, when insulation standards were lower. Modern siding materials and installation techniques create a much more efficient building envelope, and many homeowners see the energy savings within the first year of installation.
Coastal siding maintenance is straightforward but important for longevity. Annual pressure washing removes salt buildup and prevents staining, typically done in late spring after winter storm season ends. Use low pressure and work from top to bottom.
Inspect caulking around windows, doors, and trim joints twice yearly – salt air can cause caulk to deteriorate faster than in inland areas. Touch up any gaps immediately to prevent water intrusion that leads to expensive damage.
Check for loose or damaged pieces after major storms, especially on the ocean-facing side of your home. Small issues caught early are inexpensive fixes, while ignored problems can require extensive repairs. Most quality siding materials will last 20-30 years in coastal conditions with proper maintenance.
