Siding That Respects Amityville's Older Housing

Amityville has some of the oldest housing in the Town of Babylon. Victorians and shingle-style homes from the late 1800s line the streets south of Merrick Road near the harbor, and 1920s colonials and Dutch colonials fill the village center around Broadway and Park Avenue. Post-war capes and ranches take over north of Sunrise Highway and in the unincorporated North Amityville section. Many of the older homes still wear original cedar or wood clapboard under decades of paint. AP Siding & Windows works on all of it with cedar shake, vinyl shake, board and batten, insulated vinyl and fiber cement, with our own employees doing the install.

The village sits on Amityville Harbor and Great South Bay, and the streets south of Merrick Road, especially along Ocean Avenue, Richmond Avenue and the canals, get salt spray, bay wind and open sun. That combination strips paint off wood and loosens cheap vinyl. North of the village toward the Southern State the air is milder but the blocks are shaded and damp. On the water we recommend fiber cement or real cedar for homes that need to keep a historic look, or a heavy insulated vinyl shake for lower maintenance, all with stainless fasteners and sealed flashing.

Siding styles we install

Horizontal Vinyl Lap Siding

The classic look for capes, ranches, and colonials. Low maintenance, dozens of colors, and never needs painting.

Cedar & Cedar-Look Shake Siding

The look of cedar shakes without staining, splitting, or rot. Great on a whole home or as gable and dormer accents.

Board & Batten Siding

Vertical siding for farmhouse, modern, and coastal exteriors, often mixed with lap siding for contrast.

Fiber Cement Siding

The premium option: heavy, fire-resistant, and very durable, with a real painted-wood look.

Signs it's time to replace your siding

• Cracked, warped, or loose panels, especially after a storm
• Faded or chalky color that no longer cleans up
• Soft spots, rot, or mildew along seams and trim
• Water stains or peeling paint on interior walls
• Drafty rooms and rising heating and cooling bills

Siding and windows in one project

Replacing windows at the same time as siding is the smartest way to do both. With the old siding off, new windows can be flashed and sealed properly on every side, and all the exterior trim comes out clean and consistent. You get one crew and one schedule for the whole exterior.

Amityville Sections We Serve

The harbor district south of Merrick Road, from Ocean Avenue over to the canal streets off Richmond Avenue and Bayview Avenue, holds the village's grand old houses and the post-war cottages built between them. The village center along Broadway, Park Avenue and around the Amityville LIRR station is 1900s to 1920s colonials on walkable blocks. North of Sunrise Highway, the North Amityville hamlet along Route 110 and toward the Southern State is unincorporated, with capes, ranches and splits from the 1950s. East toward the Copiague line, off County Line Road, the housing is a similar post-war mix.

Amityville Village and North Amityville

We serve the full incorporated Village of Amityville, from the harbor up to Sunrise Highway, plus the unincorporated North Amityville and East Massapequa-adjacent streets that carry an 11701 address. Our crews also work the neighboring Town of Babylon communities east along Montauk Highway and north toward the Southern State.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to re-side an older Amityville home?

The old Victorians south of Merrick Road have more trim, more corners and taller walls than a cape in North Amityville, so the range is wide. Square footage, material, removal of existing wood or vinyl, and the trim and flashing detail set the price. Vinyl is lowest cost and fiber cement highest, with cedar between. We measure and then write it up.

Is the siding permit from the Village of Amityville or the Town?

If your house is inside the incorporated village, the Village of Amityville Building Department on Greene Avenue issues the permit. If you are in unincorporated North Amityville, it comes from the Town of Babylon Building Division instead. We confirm which one applies during the estimate, file the application with our license and insurance, and arrange the final inspection for you.

What siding is best for a house on the harbor side of Amityville?

For the bay-front and canal blocks we recommend fiber cement for the longest life in salt air, or real cedar shake if you want to keep the look of a historic home and are willing to maintain it. Insulated vinyl shake is the low-maintenance middle ground. Whatever the material, we use stainless fasteners and flash every opening so wind-driven rain cannot work behind the wall.

How long will an Amityville siding project take?

A post-war cape or ranch in vinyl usually runs three to five working days. The large older homes near the harbor, with multiple stories, bays and ornate trim, take noticeably longer, and fiber cement or cedar adds time on any house. Bay wind and rain can push a day, and we tell you ahead of time rather than leaving you waiting.

Can you combine window replacement with siding in Amityville?

Yes, and on the older homes it is the only way to do it right. With the siding off we replace tired wood windows with new units, including custom shapes for the bays and arched openings common in the village, flash them to the sheathing and wrap the house before siding. One permit, one crew and a far better seal than retrofitting later.

I own a historic home in the village. Can you keep the original look?

Yes. For the late-1800s houses south of Merrick Road we can install real cedar shake or clapboard matching the original profile, or a vinyl shake and board-and-batten combination that reads as period-correct from the street. The Village may have its own review for exterior changes on certain properties, and we check that before quoting so there are no surprises at the permit stage.
