Siding Contractors in Huntington Station, NY

Straightforward Siding for Huntington Station Homes

Huntington Station was built fast after the war. Most of the housing between the LIRR station and Jericho Turnpike is 1940s and 1950s capes and small ranches on quarter-acre lots, many still wearing their second or third layer of siding. Around Depot Road, Oakwood Road, and the South Huntington streets there are 60s and 70s splits and hi-ranches with larger footprints. AP Siding & Windows handles all of it. We install horizontal vinyl lap, insulated vinyl, vinyl shake, cedar shake, board and batten, and fiber cement, and we do a lot of straightforward vinyl re-sides here where the goal is a clean, durable wall at a fair price.

Huntington Station is inland and mostly flat, so the weather story is less about salt and more about sun, shade, and age. South-facing walls along the wider streets off 110 bake in summer and fade cheap siding early, which is why we steer toward thicker vinyl or insulated panels there. The tree-lined blocks near Walt Whitman Road and the older sections hold shade and moisture on the north sides, and we often find soft sheathing behind the original asbestos or aluminum once it comes off. Every job gets house wrap and proper flashing so the wall stays dry regardless of which way it faces.

Siding services we provide in Huntington Station

Siding replacement

Full tear-off to sheathing, repair of anything we find underneath, new water-resistive barrier, and new siding with trim. This is most of our Huntington Station work.

Siding repair

Storm damage, cracked or loose panels, and rot behind the siding. Worth doing when the rest of the wall has life left in it, and worth being honest about when it does not.

Insulated vinyl siding

Contoured foam backing that adds R-value across the studs, stiffens the panel and cuts outside noise.

Fiber cement siding

James Hardie and similar. The choice where profile and trim detail have to look right.

Cedar and cedar-profile siding

Natural cedar shake and clapboard for period homes, plus cedar-look vinyl and composite when you want the appearance without the maintenance.

Trim, soffit, fascia and gutters

Aluminum trim wrap on windows and doors, plus new soffit and fascia so the whole exterior finishes at the same time rather than in two visits a year apart.

What we would put on a Huntington Station house

• Insulated vinyl is what we recommend most often here, because it suits the post-war stock this town is full of. These houses were framed 2x4 with thin wall insulation, and the contoured foam backing adds R-value across the studs where the framing normally bleeds heat straight out. It also stiffens the panel, which matters on the long flat runs of a ranch or split where standard vinyl can read wavy.
• Fiber cement is the choice for the colonials and for the older houses where profile and trim detail have to look right. It holds a painted finish for years, will not soften in summer heat, and carries a Class A fire rating. It is heavier and needs a flat, sound nailing surface, which is part of why we tear off rather than go over.
• Standard vinyl still does the job on a defined budget, and modern fade-resistant panels in the right profile look considerably better than what went on these houses in 1991. On the shaded lots we will steer you away from the palest colours, because that is where the green cast shows worst.

What siding costs in Huntington Station

We do not quote over the phone, because phone numbers change once somebody actually looks at the house, and that is how homeowners end up with a price that moves after the contract is signed. What we can tell you is what drives the number.

Square footage and elevation count

A cape with four simple elevations prices very differently from a split level with dormers, gable returns and a bump-out.

Material

Standard vinyl, insulated vinyl and fiber cement sit at three different price points, and the gap widens on larger houses.

What is behind the old siding

On houses that were re-sided over the original material in the 80s or 90s, there is a real chance of sheathing repair once we tear off. We open a section during the estimate specifically so it does not become a change order later.

Trim scope

Whether you wrap the windows and doors and replace soffit and fascia at the same time. Doing it together costs less than doing it twice.

You get an itemized written price after we measure on site, and it does not change unless you change the scope.

Permits for siding work in Huntington Station

Exterior work here permits through the Town of Huntington, at Town Hall on Main Street. A building permit covers alteration and repair of a structure, and siding replacement sits inside that.

The part most homeowners do not know: the Town does not handle permits for the four incorporated villages inside its borders. Asharoken, Huntington Bay, Lloyd Harbor and Northport each have their own building officials and their own process. All four sit on the north shore coastline, so if your property is anywhere near the water it is worth confirming which side of a village line you are on before anyone files anything.

Huntington also runs an Architectural Review Board that looks at exterior changes in designated zones. It does not apply to most residential streets, but it does apply in parts of Huntington village, and finding that out after you have ordered material is an expensive way to learn it.

We confirm the jurisdiction for your address before we file. It takes five minutes and saves the kind of delay that pushes a spring job into summer.

How the job runs

1. One We come out, measure, and open a section of the existing siding so you can see what is behind it. No phone estimates.
2. Two You get an itemized written price with the material, colour, trim scope and expected schedule on it.
3. Three We confirm the permit authority for your address and file what is required.
4. Four Our own installers do the work. Tear-off to sheathing, any repairs, new water-resistive barrier, then siding and trim. Deliveries get staged neatly, the driveway stays usable, and we magnet-sweep for nails before we pull out each day.
5. Five Walkthrough with you before we call it finished.

Huntington Station Sections We Serve

The blocks around the Huntington LIRR station and New York Avenue have the hamlet's oldest small homes and the tightest lots. South Huntington, between Jericho Turnpike and the Northern State, is a wide spread of 50s and 60s capes, ranches, and splits on grid streets. The area near Walt Whitman Shops and Route 110 has larger split-levels and colonials from the 60s and 70s. Along Oakwood Road and toward the Melville line there are newer subdivisions and some converted estate parcels. The Pulaski Road corridor on the east side leads toward Greenlawn and has mixed housing of every decade.

Huntington Station and South Huntington

We cover the whole hamlet, from the LIRR station south through South Huntington to the Northern State Parkway and the Melville line, and east along Pulaski Road toward Greenlawn. Huntington, Dix Hills, and East Northport are all on the same crew route, so there is no part of Huntington Station we treat as out of the way.

Frequently asked questions

What should a Huntington Station homeowner expect to pay for siding?

It depends on the wall. A 1950s cape in South Huntington has less area than a 70s hi-ranch off Oakwood Road, and whether we are stripping one layer or three changes the labor. We price by measured square footage, material, tear-off, and trim. Vinyl is the budget-friendly route and fiber cement the premium one. The number you get is written, after we measure.

Is a building permit required for siding in Huntington Station?

Huntington Station is a hamlet, so the Town of Huntington Building Division handles any permit. Replacing siding with the same kind of material is typically exempt. Where we replace sheathing, remove asbestos-cement shingle, fix framing, or enlarge a window opening, the Town may require a filing. We tell you up front which category your job falls in and take care of the paperwork.

What siding makes sense for a sunny lot in Huntington Station?

Inland and flat, Huntington Station deals more with UV and heat than with salt. Thin builder-grade vinyl fades and goes brittle on south walls here. We recommend heavier-gauge or insulated vinyl, which holds color and lies flatter, or fiber cement if you want a painted look that lasts. Vinyl shake is a good upgrade on the capes. Shaded north walls get extra attention to drainage.

How long will my Huntington Station siding job take?

Three to five working days is normal for a vinyl re-side on a typical cape or ranch here. Hi-ranches and colonials with more wall, fiber cement projects, and homes where we uncover rot or asbestos shingle take longer. Weather is the other variable, and a rainy stretch adds days. We lay out a realistic schedule once we have measured and seen what is on the house.

Can AP replace my windows while siding my Huntington Station house?

Yes, and the postwar capes and ranches here are good candidates. Many still have original single-pane or early aluminum replacements that leak air. With the siding off we install double-hung, casement, slider, bay and bow, awning, basement, and custom-shape windows in vinyl or fiberglass, flashed to the sheathing, then run the new siding tight to the frames so the whole wall is sealed.

My 1950s Huntington Station cape has asbestos shingle under the vinyl. Is that a problem?

It is common in South Huntington and the station-area streets, and it is manageable. Asbestos-cement shingle is stable until it is broken. We check before quoting and, if it is there, arrange removal by a licensed handler rather than tearing it off ourselves. Once the wall is bare we repair sheathing, wrap it, and install the new siding. The cost is included in your written estimate.
