Siding Contractors in Huntington, NY

Siding Work That Fits Huntington's Older Streets

Huntington is the town seat and its housing shows every era since the 1800s. The streets fanning out from Main Street and New York Avenue have Victorians, foursquares, and prewar colonials with clapboard or cedar shingle, some wrapped in aluminum decades ago. Farther out toward Park Avenue, West Hills, and Route 110 the lots widen and the homes are 50s through 80s colonials and splits, plus larger newer builds on former estate land. AP Siding & Windows installs horizontal lap, insulated vinyl, vinyl shake, cedar shake, board and batten, and fiber cement, and on the village-area homes we take the trim and proportions seriously.

The harbor shapes the north end of the hamlet. Homes near Huntington Harbor, Halesite, and the Mill Dam area get salt-carrying wind off the water and need fasteners and flashing chosen for it. Move south past the village and the picture changes to tall oaks, deep shade, and the slow moisture that comes with it, especially on north-facing walls in the West Hills section. We spec the wall assembly to the lot, not to a catalog page. That means a drainage plane and house wrap on every job, paint-free materials where salt is a factor, and ventilation behind the siding where trees keep the walls damp.

Siding styles we install

Horizontal Vinyl Lap Siding

The classic look for the capes, ranches, and colonials that fill Huntington. 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.

Where We Work Around Huntington

Huntington Village, the blocks around Main Street, Wall Street, and Heckscher Park, has the oldest housing and the tightest lots. Halesite, down New York Avenue at the harbor, mixes small capes with larger waterfront homes along the shore road. The Park Avenue corridor and the West Hills area near Walt Whitman's birthplace and West Hills County Park are wooded, hilly, and full of mid-century colonials on half-acre and acre lots. Toward Route 110 and the Melville line there are 60s and 70s subdivisions. The Villages of Huntington Bay and Lloyd Harbor sit just north and west and we work in both.

Huntington, Halesite, and the Villages

Our coverage runs from the harbor at Halesite south through the village and West Hills to the Melville line, east to Greenlawn and Centerport, and west to Cold Spring Harbor. We also take jobs inside Huntington Bay and Lloyd Harbor, which have their own permit offices. Huntington Station and East Northport are on the same daily route.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to re-side a house in Huntington?

There is no single number because a village-area foursquare and a West Hills colonial are very different walls. We price on measured square footage, the material you pick, how much old siding has to come off, and the amount of trim, corner, and window wrap work. Vinyl sits at the low end and fiber cement at the high end. You get a written figure after we measure.

Do I need a permit from the Town of Huntington for new siding?

Huntington hamlet is unincorporated, so permits go through the Town of Huntington Building Division in the Department of Engineering, Building and Housing. A straight like-for-like re-side usually does not need one, but structural repair, sheathing replacement, or new window openings can. If your house is inside Huntington Bay or Lloyd Harbor, that village issues its own permits instead. We sort out which applies.

Which siding holds up near Huntington Harbor and Halesite?

Anything facing the harbor sees salt and a steady north breeze. Fiber cement and insulated vinyl shrug that off with no painting. Vinyl shake works well on the capes along the shore road and keeps the look of the older cedar. If you want true cedar on a harbor-side house, plan to seal the weather face. We use stainless or hot-dipped fasteners there as standard.

How many days should I expect a Huntington siding job to take?

A vinyl re-side on a typical Huntington colonial or split runs three to five working days once we start. Village-area homes with lots of trim, fiber cement installs, and houses where we find rot behind old aluminum take longer. Rain and strong wind off the harbor can push things a day or two. We give you a realistic schedule after the measure, not before.

Should I replace windows at the same time as siding on my Huntington house?

If the windows are more than twenty years old, usually yes. With the walls open we can set double-hung, casement, bay and bow, slider, awning, basement, and custom-shape windows in vinyl or fiberglass and flash them straight to the sheathing. Doing it in one pass avoids cutting into new siding later and gives the older village homes the tight envelope they never had.

My house is in Huntington's historic area near the village. Can you match the original look?

In most cases, yes. We can hold the clapboard exposure, shingle course height, corner boards, and window casing widths so the house reads the same from the sidewalk. Fiber cement comes in smooth and wood-grain profiles that suit prewar homes, and vinyl shake does a fair job on shingle-style houses. If a property falls under Town historic review, we check that before quoting.

Why Huntington Homeowners Choose AP

• In-house crews. The same AP installers who side the harbor homes in Halesite handle the trim-heavy village houses. We do not pass Huntington work to a subcontractor.
• Written price after we measure. We walk every elevation, look behind loose siding where we can, and write a price that accounts for what we found. No phone quotes.
• Based nearby in East Northport. Huntington Village is roughly 15 minutes from our shop down Route 25A or Pulaski Road, which makes a measure, a mid-job visit, or a callback easy to schedule.
