Siding for Commack's Split-Levels and Ranches

Commack filled in during the 1950s and 60s faster than almost anywhere else in Suffolk, and the result is block after block of splits, hi-ranches, and ranches on quarter and third-acre lots on both sides of Townline Road. A good share still carry original aluminum or first-generation vinyl, now chalked, dented, or loose. There are older homes near Commack Road and the Harned Road corridor, and newer colonials on infill lots. AP Siding & Windows re-sides all of it with horizontal lap, insulated vinyl, vinyl shake, board and batten, cedar shake, and fiber cement, and we do plenty of plain vinyl replacements here.

Commack is inland, flat to gently rolling, and has no water exposure, so the enemies of siding here are UV, thermal movement, and the shade of fifty-year-old trees. Split-levels with their tall front gables and hi-ranches with big blank side walls show fade and buckling on the sun side first. We recommend heavier or insulated vinyl there, hung with the right expansion gaps, because that is what stops the wavy look. On the shaded streets near Hoyt Farm and the older sections, moisture behind aluminum is the issue, and we address it with house wrap, flashing, and sheathing repairs before the new panels go up.

Siding styles we install

Horizontal Vinyl Lap Siding

The classic look for the capes, ranches, and colonials that fill Commack. Low maintenance, available in dozens of colors, and never needs painting.

Vinyl Shake & Shingle Siding

The look of cedar shakes without staining, splitting, or rotting. Works on a whole home or as an accent on gables and dormers.

Board & Batten Siding

Vertical siding for farmhouse, modern, and coastal exteriors, often combined 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.

Commack Sections on Both Sides of Townline Road

Townline Road is the township line. West of it, in the Huntington side, the streets around Commack Road, Larkfield Road, and Burr Road are 50s and 60s splits and capes, with the Commack High School area and the Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve nearby. East of Townline, on the Smithtown side, the housing near Harned Road, Veterans Memorial Highway, and the Commack Corners area at Jericho Turnpike is similar in age with more hi-ranches. South of the Northern State toward Hauppauge are 60s and 70s colonials on slightly larger lots. North near Pulaski Road the homes are older and the lots more wooded.

All of Commack, Huntington Side and Smithtown Side

We cover every street in Commack regardless of which township it falls in, from the Larkfield Road and Burr Road area on the west to Harned Road and Veterans Highway on the east, and from Pulaski Road south to the LIE. East Northport, Dix Hills, Kings Park, and Smithtown are on the same crew route.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fair siding price for a Commack split-level?

A split has more front gable and odd angles than a plain ranch, so trim and cutting add a bit of labor, but the main factors are the same everywhere: measured wall area, material, how many layers we strip, and trim and window wrap. Vinyl is the lowest cost and fiber cement the highest. We measure in person and hand you a written price, not a range.

Which town do I get a siding permit from in Commack?

It depends on which side of Townline Road you live on. West of it, the Town of Huntington Building Division is the authority. East of it, it is the Town of Smithtown Building Department. Either way, a like-for-like re-side usually needs no permit, while sheathing replacement, structural work, or new openings may. We check your address and handle the filing with the correct town.

What siding stops the wavy, faded look so many Commack houses have?

That look comes from thin vinyl hung too tight on sun-facing walls. On Commack's open splits and hi-ranches we use heavier-gauge or insulated vinyl, which lies flatter and holds color, and we leave the right expansion room at every nail. Fiber cement is the step up if you want a painted finish with no movement at all. Vinyl shake suits the older capes near Commack Road.

How quickly can you re-side a house in Commack?

A vinyl re-side on a typical Commack split or hi-ranch takes three to five working days. If the old aluminum hides rotted sheathing, or if you choose fiber cement, it takes longer. Rain is the usual delay. Because Commack is minutes from our shop, we can start promptly once your permit question is settled and materials are in, and we tell you the schedule after we measure.

Does it make sense to replace windows during a Commack siding job?

On a 60s split or hi-ranch with the original windows, yes. Doing both at once lets us flash the new double-hung, casement, slider, bay and bow, awning, basement, or custom-shape windows directly to the sheathing before the siding goes on. Vinyl and fiberglass frames are both available. It saves a second disruption and gives a tighter wall than replacing windows later from the outside.

My Commack house straddles the township line on the survey. How do you handle that?

It happens on a few streets near Townline Road. The permit authority is determined by the tax map, not the mailing address, so we look up the parcel before quoting. If any filing is required, it goes to whichever town the parcel sits in. For a simple re-side there is usually no permit at all, so the question only matters when we are opening walls or changing windows.
