Real projects, real neighbors. Most of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers.
“Our old gutters overflowed every storm and the basement corner was always damp. They measured everything, explained why we needed 6-inch on the back, and had the new system up in a day. Not a drop in the basement since.”
“The prep is what sold me. They scraped and primed every bad spot on our 1920s house instead of painting over it. Two winters later and nothing is peeling.”
FAQ
Siding FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most at estimates.
How much does new siding cost in Utica, NY?
Installed siding in the Utica area typically runs $6 to $12 per square foot for vinyl, $8 to $14 for LP SmartSide, and $10 to $16 for wood. A whole house in vinyl often lands between $12,000 and $25,000, depending on size, height, the amount of trim, and whether sheathing needs repair.
Which siding is best for Central New York winters?
All three hold up when installed correctly. Vinyl is the lowest maintenance but can become brittle in deep cold. LP SmartSide has strong impact resistance and the look of wood. Real wood suits historic homes but needs regular paint. The installation, especially wrap and flashing, matters as much as the material.
Can you replace just part of my siding?
Often, yes. After storm damage or rot in one area, we can replace sections. With vinyl, matching an older faded color can be tricky, so we will be honest about how a partial repair will look before you decide.
Do you remove the old siding or install over it?
We recommend removing it. Tear-off lets us find and fix rotted sheathing and install proper house wrap and flashing, which is what actually keeps water out. Siding over siding can trap moisture and hide problems.
How long does a siding job take?
Most single-family homes take about one to two weeks of working days, depending on size, material, and repairs found during tear-off. We work one section at a time so the house is not left exposed.
Will new siding lower my heating bills?
New siding with properly installed house wrap reduces drafts and air leakage through the walls, which can help comfort and energy use. If you want a bigger improvement, ask about insulated siding options during your estimate.
