Your home faces over 100 days of rain, sleet, and snow each year in Westchester County. That’s a lot of weather beating against your exterior walls.
When your siding is installed correctly, it becomes your home’s first line of defense. No more water seeping behind loose panels. No more drafts driving up your energy bills. No more worrying about what the next storm might do to your property value.
The difference between good siding and great siding isn’t just how it looks from the curb. It’s how well it protects your investment, keeps your family comfortable, and saves you money on heating and cooling costs year after year.
We’ve been serving Westchester County homeowners who understand that their home’s exterior isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protection.
We work with the premium home styles that make Ardsley special. From historic Colonials and Georgian homes to modern designs and Craftsman houses, we understand what each architectural style needs to perform and look its best.
Our approach is straightforward: transparent pricing, quality materials, and installation that protects your manufacturer warranty. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in siding that performs when Westchester weather gets serious.
First, we assess your current siding situation and discuss your goals. No pressure tactics—just honest evaluation of what your home needs and what fits your budget.
Next comes material selection. We walk through options from cost-effective vinyl to premium fiber cement, explaining the real differences in performance, maintenance, and longevity. You’ll understand exactly what you’re getting before we move forward.
Installation starts with proper preparation. We protect your landscaping, remove old siding carefully, and inspect the underlying structure for any issues. When we install your new siding, we follow manufacturer specifications exactly—because that’s what keeps your warranty valid and your home protected for decades.

Every siding project includes complete removal and disposal of old materials, structural inspection, and proper installation of your chosen siding system. We also install necessary trim, flashings, and protective barriers.
For Ardsley homes, we recommend rainscreen systems behind your siding. This extra step extends siding life by 5-10 years by improving airflow and moisture management—crucial given our area’s 100+ days of annual precipitation.
Material options include vinyl siding starting around $8.50 per square foot, James Hardie fiber cement at approximately $11 per square foot, and premium cedar options. Each material has specific advantages for different home styles and budgets, and we’ll help you choose what makes sense for your situation.
Siding costs vary based on material choice, home size, and project complexity. For the average 2,600 square foot Westchester home, vinyl siding typically runs about $22,100 total, while fiber cement siding ranges from $28,600 to $34,000.
These estimates include material, labor, and removal of existing siding. Additional factors like structural repairs, custom trim work, or premium material selections can affect the final cost. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or hidden fees.
The investment makes sense when you consider that properly installed siding with a rainscreen system can last 5-10 years longer than basic installation, protecting your home and maintaining its value.
Westchester’s climate demands siding that handles temperature extremes, heavy precipitation, and UV exposure. Fiber cement siding like James Hardie performs exceptionally well here because it won’t crack from freeze-thaw cycles and resists moisture penetration.
Vinyl siding is also excellent for our climate when properly installed. Modern vinyl formulations resist fading and warping, and they expand and contract safely with temperature changes. The key is proper installation with adequate ventilation and moisture barriers.
Wood siding can work beautifully on historic Ardsley homes, but requires regular maintenance to prevent moisture damage and insect problems. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects better than other wood options, making it worth considering despite higher upfront costs.
Most residential siding projects in Ardsley take 5-10 days, depending on home size and material choice. Weather can extend timelines, especially during our wet seasons.
The process starts with old siding removal, which typically takes 2-3 days for an average home. We then inspect and repair any underlying issues before installing moisture barriers and beginning new siding installation. Fiber cement takes longer to install than vinyl due to cutting and handling requirements.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always protect your landscaping and outdoor living spaces. If weather delays occur, we communicate immediately and adjust the timeline accordingly.
Yes, we work with homeowners on insurance claims for storm damage. Westchester sees significant weather events that can damage siding through hail, wind, and falling debris.
We provide detailed damage assessments and work directly with insurance adjusters to document necessary repairs. Our estimates include all required work to restore your home’s protection and appearance, helping ensure you receive appropriate claim settlements.
The key is acting quickly after storm damage occurs. Temporary protection may be needed to prevent further damage while insurance processes the claim. We can provide emergency stabilization and then complete permanent repairs once your claim is approved.
We provide comprehensive workmanship warranties on all siding installations, typically 25 years depending on the project scope. This covers installation defects, not normal wear or damage from external factors.
Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and vary by product. Vinyl siding often includes 20-40 year warranties, while premium fiber cement products may offer 30-50 year coverage. Proper installation is required to maintain these warranties.
We also ensure you understand maintenance requirements to keep warranties valid. Most modern siding materials require minimal maintenance, but specific care instructions help maximize performance and longevity. We provide written maintenance guidelines with every completed project.
Matching existing siding depends on the age, manufacturer, and specific product line of your current materials. For newer installations, we can often source identical materials or very close matches.
For older siding, exact matches may not be available, but we can find complementary options that blend well with existing materials. Sometimes this means updating entire sections to create a cohesive appearance rather than obvious patch work.
We always assess matching possibilities during our initial consultation and provide honest recommendations about repair versus replacement options. The goal is results that protect your home and maintain its architectural integrity, whether through matching materials or thoughtful design solutions.
