You’ll sleep soundly during those heavy storms knowing water isn’t finding its way behind your siding. No more cringing when you open your energy bill because your home’s thermal envelope actually works.
Properly installed siding systems handle Westchester’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or warping. Your heating and cooling costs drop because the insulation stays dry and effective.
Your home looks sharp year-round, and when it comes time to sell, buyers notice the difference. Quality siding installation pays for itself through energy savings and increased property value.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has served Scotts Corners and Westchester County homeowners for years. We understand exactly what this climate does to home exteriors.
The humid summers that warp inferior materials. The coastal storms that drive water into poorly sealed joints. The freeze-thaw cycles that turn small gaps into major problems. We’ve seen every type of weather-related siding failure this area produces.
When you hire us, you get contractors who have to drive past your house after the job is done. Our reputation depends on how well our work holds up in Scotts Corners’ demanding conditions.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing siding and the structure behind it. Most problems start with moisture that previous contractors missed or ignored.
During removal, we check every area for water damage, inadequate insulation, or structural issues. Finding problems now prevents expensive surprises later. If we discover issues, we fix them before installing new siding.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly – proper fastening, correct spacing, adequate flashing. These details determine whether your siding lasts 15 years or 50 years. We finish with complete cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards and yours.

In Scotts Corners, your siding faces temperature swings from below zero to 90+ degrees, plus humidity, storms, and UV exposure. Not every material handles this combination well.
James Hardie fiber cement excels here – it won’t warp, rot, or feed insects. Installation costs more than vinyl, but maintenance costs stay low for decades. Quality vinyl siding, properly installed with expansion gaps, offers excellent weather protection at a lower upfront cost.
Wood siding provides unmatched natural beauty but requires regular maintenance in our climate. We’ll explain exactly what each material means for your maintenance schedule, energy costs, and long-term value. Every recommendation we make is proven to perform in Westchester County’s challenging conditions.
Most residential siding projects in Scotts Corners take 4-8 days, depending on your home’s size, architectural complexity, and weather conditions. We won’t compromise installation quality by rushing or working in poor weather.
If we discover moisture damage or structural issues during removal – common in older Westchester County homes – we address those problems first. This might extend the timeline by a day or two, but prevents much larger problems down the road.
We schedule projects around Westchester’s weather patterns when possible, avoiding the worst storm seasons. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront, and we keep you informed if conditions require adjustments.
Fiber cement siding like James Hardie performs exceptionally well in our climate because it handles temperature extremes without expanding, contracting, or warping. It won’t rot in our humid conditions and insects can’t damage it.
High-quality vinyl siding also works well here, but installation technique matters more than with fiber cement. Proper expansion gaps are critical to handle our temperature swings without buckling. Wood siding looks beautiful but requires consistent maintenance to prevent moisture damage in our climate.
We’ll recommend materials based on your maintenance preferences, budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home. Every option we suggest is proven to handle Westchester County’s demanding weather conditions.
Yes, full siding replacement in Scotts Corners typically requires permits from the Town of Pound Ridge. Minor repairs usually don’t, but complete siding replacement almost always does.
We handle the entire permit process for you, ensuring all work meets local building codes and Westchester County requirements. This includes proper moisture barrier installation, insulation standards, and ventilation requirements that many contractors overlook.
Our familiarity with local codes means your project passes inspection the first time, avoiding delays and additional costs. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, which we factor into your project timeline.
Warping, cracking, or bubbling siding indicates your home’s weather protection is failing. In Westchester County, also watch for mold or mildew growing from seams – this signals moisture is penetrating behind your siding, potentially causing structural damage.
Rising energy bills without other explanation often indicate siding and insulation problems. Paint that fades quickly or needs frequent touch-ups suggests the siding material itself is deteriorating. Inside your home, peeling paint or wallpaper on exterior walls can indicate moisture intrusion through failed siding.
We provide free siding inspections to assess your current system’s condition and explain your options. No pressure, just honest evaluation of what you’re dealing with and what makes sense for your situation.
Our siding installation includes complete removal of existing siding, thorough inspection and repair of any underlying moisture or structural damage, and installation of proper moisture barriers and insulation as needed.
