Your energy bills drop. The drafts stop. Your home looks like it belongs in the neighborhood again.
That’s what happens when siding installation is done right in Riverside. On Long Island, siding has to do more than just look good – between salty air, storms, and changing seasons, it needs to hold up without constant maintenance. Energy-efficient siding helps reduce heating and cooling bills while maintaining consistent indoor temperature, and since outdoor appearance is one of the most important sales factors in real estate, new siding increases home value and makes properties easier to sell.
The difference between good siding and great siding isn’t just the material. It’s the installation. When your siding is properly installed with attention to moisture barriers and proper ventilation, you get decades of protection instead of problems down the road.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just a name – it’s a family legacy brought to life in Suffolk County, NY, with decades of exterior renovation experience specializing in roofing, siding, chimney, and gutter solutions tailored for everyday homeowners. Each construction project receives personal oversight, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to meet the high standards our family name stands for.

We stand out with our commitment to quality, reliability, and the personal touch we bring to every project, with clients benefiting from transparent communication, attention to detail, and a seamless process from start to finish.
First, we come out for a free estimate. We measure everything, assess your current siding situation, and discuss your goals. No pressure, no games – just straight answers about what your home needs.

We keep you in the loop as we carry out your home upgrade, ending with a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. Clean-up is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Vinyl and fiber cement are highly durable options for Suffolk County homes – vinyl is cost-effective and low maintenance, while fiber cement offers excellent durability and resistance to elements. We also work with composite materials and engineered wood when the situation calls for it.
Vinyl siding’s surface impression with low-luster finish gives you all the beauty of painted wood without the problems of peeling, rotting, blistering, or flaking you get with painted wood siding in Long Island’s climate. For homeowners who want the premium look, James Hardie fiber cement siding typically lasts 30 years or more and is designed to last for the lifetime of your home with minimal upkeep required.
New siding provides better insulation, reducing heat transfer and potentially lowering energy costs while sealing drafts and enhancing overall home comfort. In Riverside, where heating and cooling costs can be significant, this isn’t just about looks – it’s about your monthly budget too.
Siding installation costs vary, usually ranging from $2,000 to $35,000, depending on the material and complexity of installation. For most Riverside homes, you’re looking at somewhere in the middle of that range.
The variables that affect your cost include the size of your home, the type of siding you choose, how much prep work is needed, and whether we’re dealing with any structural issues. Labor for siding installation in New York can cost anywhere from $2 to $15 per square foot, with labor typically accounting for up to 50% of your total project cost.
We give you a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Long Island siding has to handle more than just looking good – between salty air, storms, and changing seasons, it needs real durability. New York homeowners should prioritize energy efficiency and moisture resistance when researching siding options.
Vinyl siding is popular here because it doesn’t need repainting and handles our climate well. Vinyl siding has replaced wood and aluminum in the New York area because of its maintenance-free properties – you never have to paint it, never have to replace it, you simply install it and leave it alone. Fiber cement is another excellent choice – it’s more expensive upfront but offers superior durability and fire resistance.
We don’t recommend wood siding for most Riverside homes unless you’re prepared for regular maintenance. The salt air and humidity here are tough on natural materials, and you’ll be repainting or restaining every few years.
For an average-sized home, siding installation typically takes between one to two weeks, though the timeframe can vary based on the size of your home, weather conditions, and the specific type of siding chosen.
Most Riverside homes fall into the 7-10 day range. Day one is usually removal and prep work. Days two through six are installation. The final days are trim work, cleanup, and your walkthrough. Siding should only be installed in New York when temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so weather can sometimes extend the timeline.
We schedule around your life, not the other way around. If you need us to work around specific dates or events, we plan for that upfront. Most of our Riverside customers are surprised how smooth the process is when it’s managed properly.
While homeowners in most parts of the country don’t need permits to replace siding, most towns and cities in New York require permits and inspections for exterior work, with many municipalities requiring permits for any work over $100, costing $75 to $300.
We handle the permit process for you. It’s part of our service, not an extra charge. We know which permits Riverside requires, how to file them correctly, and how to schedule inspections so they don’t slow down your project.
New York homeowners should ensure contractors possess a valid Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license required for exterior renovation work, with contractors also needing Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) license for New York City work, plus liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We carry all required licensing and insurance – you can verify this before we start work.
Common signs include siding with holes, rotted sections, cracks, siding falling off your house, fungus or mold growth, or drafts inside your house. Any visible damage like peeling, cracking, or chipping can invite further issues, as cracks or chips allow water and insects to penetrate your siding.
Dry rot, mildew, fungus, and mold growth could indicate water is passing through and being held in the wall, with dry rot often having no visual signs, making it an even more dangerous problem. If your energy bills have gone up significantly, that might indicate your siding isn’t providing proper insulation anymore.
The longer homeowners wait to address siding problems, the more issues that can occur, so repairing siding as soon as possible reduces the risk of additional problems to your siding and other parts of your house. We offer free inspections if you’re not sure whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Local contractors develop rich understanding of the localities, including various types of houses and homeowner preferences unique to specific areas, allowing them to deliver sophisticated siding installations that perfectly complement your home’s style.
We know Riverside’s building codes, permit requirements, and inspection processes. We understand which materials perform best in our specific microclimate.
