Your home stops losing money through the walls. No more drafts creeping in during those brutal Long Island winters. No more watching your heating bills climb because your old siding can’t do its job.
Quality siding installation means your home actually holds the temperature you’re paying for. Your exterior looks sharp year after year without the constant maintenance headaches that come with inferior materials.
You get real protection from the rain, humidity, and temperature swings that beat up Shirley homes. Plus, you’re looking at an average ROI of 88% when you choose the right materials and installation team.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family legacy built on decades of exterior renovation experience specifically in Suffolk County.
We understand what Shirley homes face – the salty air, the storms, the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy cheap siding installations. That’s why we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques that actually work in our climate.
Every project gets our personal oversight. We’re not running crews all over three states. We’re focused right here in Suffolk County, which means when you call, you get people who know your neighborhood and the challenges your home faces.
We start with a real assessment of your home’s current siding and underlying structure. No generic estimates – we look at what your specific property needs and explain exactly what we find.
Next comes material selection based on your budget, style preferences, and Long Island’s climate demands. We bring samples so you can see and feel what you’re getting before we start.
Installation typically takes 5-7 days for most Shirley homes, weather permitting. We work systematically, section by section, keeping you updated on progress and handling any unexpected issues before they become problems. Clean-up happens daily, not just at the end.

In Shirley specifically, we account for the coastal moisture conditions and temperature variations that can destroy poorly installed siding. Your installation includes proper ventilation behind the siding and moisture management systems that prevent the rot and mold issues common in our area.
Siding installation costs in Shirley typically range from $8,000 to $21,000 for most homes, depending on size, material choice, and existing condition. Vinyl siding runs $4-8 per square foot installed, while fiber cement ranges $6-12 per square foot.
The final cost includes removal of old siding, any necessary structural repairs, new material installation, trim work, and cleanup. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that Suffolk County has higher labor costs than the national average, but quality installation here pays for itself through better energy efficiency and longer material life in our challenging climate.
Fiber cement and high-quality vinyl are your best options for Long Island’s climate. Fiber cement handles our freeze-thaw cycles, resists moisture damage, and won’t warp in humidity like cheaper materials do.
Quality vinyl siding with proper backing and installation gives you low maintenance with good weather resistance. The key is avoiding thin, cheap vinyl that cracks in cold weather and fades quickly in our coastal sun.
Wood siding looks great but requires constant maintenance in our humid, salty environment. Aluminum dents easily in storms. For most Shirley homeowners, fiber cement offers the best balance of durability, appearance, and long-term value.
Most residential siding installations in Shirley take 5-7 days for complete homes, depending on size and complexity. Weather delays can extend this timeline, especially during winter months when temperatures need to stay above 40 degrees for proper installation.
Single-story ranch homes often finish faster, while two-story colonials with complex rooflines take longer. We work systematically and don’t rush – proper installation techniques can’t be hurried without compromising quality.
We schedule around your life and keep you informed of daily progress. If weather delays installation, we secure any exposed areas and communicate new timelines immediately. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly their home transforms once we start.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for most exterior siding work, especially if you’re in a designated area with specific building codes. Permit costs typically run $75-300 depending on project scope.
We handle the permit application process and ensure all work meets local building codes. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
Some HOAs in Shirley also have approval processes for exterior changes. We’re familiar with local requirements and can guide you through any additional approvals needed. Skipping permits might save money upfront but creates expensive problems later.
Quality siding installation typically reduces energy costs by 15-25% in Long Island homes. The biggest savings come from eliminating air leaks and adding proper insulation backing during installation.
Insulated vinyl siding or fiber cement with proper house wrap creates a thermal barrier that keeps your heated and cooled air inside where it belongs. This is especially important during our harsh winters when heating costs spike.
The exact savings depend on your current siding condition and your home’s overall energy efficiency. Homes with old, damaged siding see the biggest improvements. Most homeowners notice lower utility bills within the first month after installation.
Quality siding requires minimal maintenance when properly installed. Rinse with a garden hose twice yearly to remove salt, dirt, and pollen buildup. Use mild detergent for stubborn stains.
Inspect caulking around windows and trim annually, touching up any cracks or gaps. Check for loose pieces after major storms. Most modern siding materials resist fading, cracking, and pest damage when installed correctly.
Avoid pressure washing at close range, which can force water behind the siding. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can damage the surface. With proper installation and basic care, quality siding lasts 20-30 years with minimal maintenance required.
