Siding Contractors in Bay Shore, NY

Bay Shore Siding From a Crew That Works the Bay

Bay Shore has the widest spread of housing of any hamlet we serve. The streets south of Main Street toward the Fire Island ferries hold 1880s to 1920s homes with wood shingle and clapboard. The blocks between Main Street and Sunrise Highway are capes and colonials from the 1940s and 50s, and north of Sunrise in the Brightwaters-adjacent and Brentwood-adjacent sections are 1960s splits and high-ranches. AP Siding & Windows re-sides all of it in insulated vinyl, vinyl shake, cedar shake, board and batten and fiber cement, with windows and roofing handled by our own employees on the same project.

South of Montauk Highway, Bay Shore faces the Great South Bay head-on, and the streets around the ferry terminals, Penataquit Creek and Awixa Creek get salt, wind and open sun. That exposure is hardest on painted wood and thin vinyl. Inland, the hamlet is sheltered but shaded, with north walls on the treed streets staying damp. On the water we recommend fiber cement or cedar with stainless fasteners and tight flashing. On the inland streets, insulated vinyl over a vented housewrap gives durability at a lower cost.

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.

Bay Shore Neighborhoods

The waterfront south of Main Street, around the Fire Island ferry docks on Maple Avenue, Penataquit Creek and the Awixa Creek blocks near Brightwaters, has the historic homes and the post-war cottages tucked between them. Downtown Bay Shore along Main Street has mixed-use buildings and 1920s homes on the side streets near the LIRR station. North of Sunrise Highway, around Bay Shore High School and off Brentwood Road, are 1960s splits and ranches. The Fifth Avenue corridor and the streets near South Shore Mall are a similar post-war mix. The incorporated Village of Brightwaters borders Bay Shore on the west.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of siding a Bay Shore home?

A Victorian near the ferries and a cape off Brentwood Road are different projects, so we do not quote a flat number. Wall area, the material, whether old siding comes off, and the amount of trim and window flashing decide the price. Vinyl is the least expensive, fiber cement the most, with cedar in between. We measure in person and write up a firm price.

Who issues the siding permit in Bay Shore?

Bay Shore is an unincorporated hamlet, so the Town of Islip Building Division issues the permit. If your house is inside the Village of Brightwaters, which borders Bay Shore and shares the 11706 ZIP, the Village of Brightwaters Building Department handles it instead. We confirm which applies, file the application with our license and insurance, and schedule the inspection.

Which siding handles the bay exposure near the Bay Shore ferries?

For the blocks near the ferry docks and the creeks we recommend fiber cement, which takes salt air and holds paint, or real cedar shake if you want to preserve a historic look. Thick insulated vinyl shake is the lower-maintenance option. On any of them we use stainless fasteners, taped housewrap and flashing at every window, door and deck ledger.

How many days does a Bay Shore siding job take?

Vinyl on an average cape or ranch takes three to five working days with our crew on site each day. The big older homes near the water, with multiple stories and detailed trim, take longer, as does fiber cement or cedar on any house. Bay wind and rain can shift a day, and we keep you informed so you are not left waiting.

Can you do windows and siding at the same time in Bay Shore?

Yes, and it is the better sequence. With the siding stripped we can replace old windows, flash them directly to the sheathing and integrate the housewrap before the new siding goes on. We install bay, bow, casement and custom-shape units, which show up often in the older Bay Shore homes. One Town permit covers the combined work and one crew handles it.

I am in a flood zone near the bay. What changes for siding?

Much of Bay Shore south of Montauk Highway is in a FEMA flood zone, and the Town of Islip may require flood-resistant materials below the base flood elevation and restrict enclosed space there. We check your zone during the estimate, specify the lower wall to meet it, and keep flood vents clear. That way the permit goes through and your insurance stays in good standing.

Why Bay Shore Homeowners Choose AP

• In-house crews. AP employees handle every Bay Shore job, from the old shingle houses by the ferries to the splits north of Sunrise. No subcontractors, ever.
• Written price after we measure. We walk the house, measure each elevation and count the openings before writing the price. That number holds through the end of the job.
• Based nearby in East Northport. Bay Shore is about 30 minutes from our shop down the Sagtikos Parkway, so we can be there for the estimate and back for any follow-up.
