You’re done worrying about peeling paint, rotting wood, or constant upkeep. New vinyl siding means your exterior stays strong against everything Suffolk County weather throws at it – heavy rain, coastal winds, even hail storms.
Your energy bills drop because quality vinyl siding adds insulation to your walls. No more drafts sneaking through cracks or gaps.
Most importantly, you get decades of protection without the headache. While your neighbors are scraping and repainting every few years, you’re enjoying a home that looks great with just an occasional rinse from the garden hose.
We’ve been handling exterior projects across Suffolk County for decades. We understand how Long Island’s coastal climate affects your home – the salt air, the winter freeze-thaw cycles, the summer humidity.
That’s why we don’t just install siding. We make sure it’s done right for this specific area. Every piece is properly secured to handle the wind loads we get here. Every seam is sealed against moisture that tries to creep in during those nor’easters.
When you call us, you’re working with people who live here too. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in Babylon, and we bring that knowledge to your project.
First, we come out and take a look at your current siding situation. We measure everything and check for any underlying issues that need attention before new siding goes up.
Next, we remove your old siding carefully and dispose of it properly. If we find any sheathing problems or moisture damage, we fix those issues first. No shortcuts.
Then comes the installation. We start with a proper moisture barrier, then install each piece of vinyl siding with the right spacing for thermal expansion. Every corner gets proper trim work, and all the details around windows and doors get sealed correctly.
The whole process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on your home’s size and complexity. When we’re done, you get a complete walkthrough so you know exactly what was done.

You get premium vinyl siding that’s designed to last decades without fading or cracking. We use materials that can handle wind speeds up to 210 mph – important when you live on Long Island where storms can get serious.
The installation includes all trim work, corner pieces, and proper flashing around windows and doors. We also handle the soffit and fascia if needed, so your entire exterior looks cohesive.
For Babylon homeowners dealing with older homes, we often recommend insulated vinyl siding. It adds an extra layer of protection against drafts and can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs. The foam backing also helps with sound dampening – useful if you live near busy roads or the train line.
Most Babylon homeowners spend between $12,000 and $23,000 for complete vinyl siding installation, depending on home size and material quality. Basic vinyl runs $5-9 per square foot installed, while premium insulated options cost $7-12 per square foot.
The final price depends on your home’s complexity – simple ranch homes cost less than multi-story colonials with lots of trim work. We also factor in any prep work needed, like repairing sheathing or adding moisture barriers.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Spring through fall works best for vinyl siding installation in Suffolk County. We need temperatures above 40 degrees for proper installation, since vinyl contracts in cold weather.
Summer and early fall are ideal because the weather is more predictable. We can work efficiently without weather delays, and the vinyl installs at optimal temperatures for long-term performance.
Winter installations are possible during mild spells, but we’re more selective about timing. The key is avoiding installation during temperature swings that could affect how the siding fits and expands.
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 20-40 years in Suffolk County’s climate, often longer with proper installation. The key factors are using thick-gauge materials and correct installation techniques that account for coastal conditions.
Premium vinyl siding comes with 30-year no-fade warranties, and many manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on the material itself. The color stays true even with constant sun exposure and salt air.
With minimal maintenance – just occasional cleaning with a garden hose – your siding will look good for decades. Unlike wood siding that needs regular painting and repairs, vinyl keeps protecting your home without ongoing work from you.
Most vinyl siding replacements in Babylon require building permits, especially when you’re changing materials or doing structural work. The Town of Babylon Building Department handles permits for residential siding projects.
We handle the permit application process for you, including submitting plans and scheduling required inspections. This ensures everything meets local building codes and protects your investment.
The permit cost is typically a few hundred dollars and takes 1-2 weeks to process. It’s worth it for the peace of mind that your project is done legally and safely.
Vinyl siding needs very little maintenance compared to other materials. An annual rinse with your garden hose removes most dirt and salt buildup from coastal air.
For stubborn stains or mildew, a soft brush with mild soap and water handles most issues. Avoid pressure washing at high settings, which can force water behind the siding.
Check caulking around windows and doors every few years and touch up as needed. That’s about it – no painting, no staining, no scraping. The siding is designed to look good for decades with just basic cleaning.
Modern vinyl siding is engineered specifically for coastal climates like ours. Quality materials resist wind damage up to 210 mph, handle temperature swings from winter freezes to summer heat, and won’t rot or warp from humidity.
The key is proper installation that accounts for thermal expansion and contraction. We use techniques that let the siding move naturally with temperature changes while staying securely attached to your home.
Salt air doesn’t affect vinyl like it does metal siding, and the material won’t support mold or mildew growth. It’s actually one of the best choices for Long Island’s challenging weather conditions.
