Choosing the Right Siding for New York City Homes
New York City's climate is tough on exteriors. Between freezing winters, humid summers, salt air near the coast, and everything in between, your siding needs to handle it all.
Fiber Cement (HardiePlank): Our Top Recommendation
Pros:
Cons:
Best for: Long Island homes, Brooklyn brownstones (rear/side facades), and any homeowner wanting a "set it and forget it" solution.
Vinyl Siding: Best Budget Option
Pros:
Cons:
Best for: Budget-conscious homeowners, rental properties, and homes where cost-effectiveness is the priority.
Engineered Wood Siding
Pros:
Cons:
What About Real Wood?
Real wood siding (cedar, redwood) is beautiful but high-maintenance in NYC's climate. If you love the look, we'd recommend engineered wood or fiber cement that mimics wood grain.
Insulation: Don't Miss This Opportunity
When replacing siding, it's the perfect time to add insulation. A layer of rigid foam behind new siding can reduce heating/cooling costs by 20-30%.
