Siding That Belongs in Amagansett

Amagansett keeps a lower profile than East Hampton, and its housing is more varied. Main Street and the lanes off it hold 18th- and 19th-century houses in shingle and clapboard, part of a hamlet historic district. South of the highway, in the Dunes and along Bluff Road and Further Lane, are oceanfront shingle-style homes and the 1960s Lanes grid of modest beach houses. North of the highway, Amagansett North and the streets off Abrahams Path and Town Lane are 1950s through 1970s ranches and capes, with newer houses filling in. AP Siding & Windows installs cedar shake, fiber cement, vinyl shake, horizontal lap, insulated vinyl, and board and batten on every one of those.

Amagansett is narrow enough that ocean and bay both matter. The south side, from Indian Wells to Atlantic Avenue Beach, takes direct Atlantic wind, salt spray in a storm, and blown sand that abrades paint and softer finishes. The north side, toward Napeague Harbor and Gardiners Bay, gets a damper, cooler exposure and steady northeast wind in winter. Between them the land is flat and open. We fasten oceanfront walls to hurricane standards with stainless hardware, set a tight shingle exposure on cedar, and favor fiber cement on the most exposed elevations. On the sheltered north-of-highway blocks, insulated vinyl over good house wrap is sound and economical.

Amagansett Sections We Serve

Main Street and the historic district around Miss Amelia's Cottage and the Amagansett Free Library have the hamlet's oldest houses. The Lanes, the grid between Montauk Highway and the ocean around Atlantic Avenue, is compact mid-century beach houses, many now rebuilt larger. Bluff Road, Further Lane, and the Dunes area carry oceanfront estates and Beach Hampton's 1960s cottages. Amagansett North, off Abrahams Path and Town Lane, is year-round ranches and capes. Devon Colony and the Cranberry Hole Road area reach toward Gardiners Bay and Napeague Harbor. East along Napeague, the Promised Land and Lazy Point areas hold small bayfront cottages on sand.

Amagansett, Beach Hampton, Napeague, and Devon

We cover the full hamlet from the ocean to Gardiners Bay, including the Lanes, the Dunes, Amagansett North, Devon, and out along Napeague to Lazy Point. East Hampton Village, Springs, and Montauk all share the same crew and schedule, so an Amagansett job often runs alongside a neighbor's.

Frequently asked questions

What goes into the price of siding on an Amagansett house?

The measured wall area, the material, whether old siding comes off, and the amount of trim and window wrap. A Lanes beach house with simple walls is a quick measure; an oceanfront shingle-style house with gables and porches is not. Oceanfront walls also carry stainless hardware and hurricane nailing. Vinyl keeps the number down; fiber cement pushes it up. We give you the figure in writing after we measure.

Who issues the permit for siding in Amagansett?

Amagansett is a hamlet of the Town of East Hampton with no village government, so the Town of East Hampton Building Department is the authority. A straight re-side usually does not require a permit, but sheathing replacement, window opening changes, or work in the oceanfront and Napeague flood zones can. Houses in the Amagansett Main Street historic district may also need Town architectural review. We check before we start.

What siding is right for a house in the Amagansett Dunes or on Bluff Road?

Cedar shingle is the traditional material and holds up on the ocean side if it is stainless-nailed with a tight exposure, though blown sand will scour the south face over time. Fiber cement shingle gives the same look and resists sand, salt, and wind without oiling. For a beach house where the owner wants no upkeep and the wall is not directly oceanfront, a quality vinyl shake is reasonable.

How long does a siding job take in Amagansett?

A vinyl re-side on a Lanes house or an Amagansett North ranch runs three to five working days. Cedar or fiber cement on a larger oceanfront home takes longer, often two weeks or more, since every shingle is hand-nailed. Ocean wind halts work on the exposed side some days. We block out Amagansett as one continuous job so the crew does not leave until it is done.

Can windows be replaced during the siding job in Amagansett?

Yes, and we recommend it on any oceanfront or bayfront wall. With the siding off we install double-hung, casement, awning, slider, bay and bow, or custom-shape windows in vinyl or fiberglass, flash them into the sheathing, and side back to the frame. On the ocean side we can install impact-rated units while the wall is open, which is the right time to do it.

My Amagansett house is in the Lanes or Beach Hampton. Anything special about those?

The Lanes and Beach Hampton are mostly small 1950s and 60s beach houses, often with original cedar under later vinyl or with aluminum that has pitted in the salt. Many sit in flood zones. We check under the old siding before quoting, look at the flood designation, and talk through whether a vinyl shake or fiber cement makes more sense given how close the house is to the dune.

Why Amagansett Homeowners Choose AP

• In-house crews. Our own installers handle every Amagansett wall, from oceanfront cedar to a Lanes beach house in vinyl. We do not subcontract East End work.
• Written price after we measure. We measure the house in person, check the exposure on each side, and put a complete price in writing before you decide.
• Based nearby in East Northport. Amagansett is about two hours from our shop, so we are honest about it: we book the job as a block and the crew stays on site every workable day until the final cleanup.
