Vinyl lasts 20–30 years, requires no painting, and costs less upfront. James Hardie fiber cement lasts 30–50 years, holds paint longer, looks better at close range, resists fire, and carries a 30-year warranty. For most homes in Westchester, fiber cement is the right call — the price difference amortized over the material's lifespan is small, and you only side a house once. We install both and will tell you which makes sense for your home.
Full scope from tear-off to finished product
Removal and disposal of existing siding. Inspection of underlying sheathing — this is where hidden moisture damage or rot shows up, and where budget surprises come from, so we flag it before we start. House wrap installation for moisture management. New siding installed with proper flashing at every window, door, and corner. Soffit and fascia replacement when needed. Complete cleanup. We never leave exposed sheathing overnight — your home stays weatherproofed throughout the job.
Material breakdown
Vinyl siding: most affordable, zero maintenance, 20–40 year lifespan, dozens of color options. James Hardie fiber cement: 30–50 year lifespan, 30-year ColorPlus warranty, fire resistant, paintable, looks like wood from any distance. Engineered wood (LP SmartSide): natural aesthetics with treated-wood protection, mid-range price. Cedar shakes: premium look, requires periodic sealing and paint. We bring full-size samples and color swatches to your home so you see how each option looks next to your roof, trim, and landscaping before we order anything.

A typical whole-home siding job takes 1–2 weeks depending on the home's size, story count, and trim complexity. Partial replacements and targeted repairs can be done in a few days. We schedule around the weather and never start a job we can't button up if a storm comes through. You'll know day-by-day what's being done and who's on site.
Why the on-site assessment matters
Siding quotes that skip a site visit miss things — moisture damage behind the current cladding, sheathing that needs replacement, flashing issues at windows. Those surprises turn a $14K job into an $18K job if discovered mid-project. We assess your home before we quote it, so the number we give you is the number you pay. Schedule a free assessment and we'll walk the full exterior with you.
