Siding for Remsenburg's Quiet Bayfront Lanes

Remsenburg is small, wooded, and mostly waterfront. The hamlet runs from Montauk Highway down to Moriches Bay along South Country Road, and the houses on Basket Neck Lane, Tuthill Lane, and the creek-front cul-de-sacs are a mix of early-1900s shingled farmhouses, mid-century cottages that were winterized, and larger shingle-style homes built since the 1990s. Cedar is the dominant material, with some clapboard and a scattering of vinyl on the smaller houses. AP Siding & Windows installs cedar shake, vinyl shake, fiber cement, board and batten, horizontal lap, and insulated vinyl, and we replace windows and roofing on the same visit when they are due.

The bay is everything in Remsenburg. Moriches Bay and the creeks that cut into the hamlet, Seatuck Cove and Speonk River among them, put salt air on nearly every house. The southwest wind that comes up the bay all summer dries out cedar on the south and west faces while the north walls stay damp under the oaks. We address both. Stainless fasteners on every job, a tight shingle exposure, and a ventilated rain screen behind cedar where the house allows it. On the vinyl and fiber cement jobs, insulated panels or dense boards fastened on a hurricane-rated schedule so a storm surge wind does not strip a wall.

Remsenburg Lanes We Work On

South Country Road is the main street, with the Remsenburg Community Church and the hamlet's oldest houses along it. Basket Neck Lane and the streets off it run down to Moriches Bay with waterfront shingled homes and docks. Tuthill Lane and the Seatuck Cove area have larger homes on creek lots with heavy tree cover. The blocks near the Speonk LIRR station, which straddles the Speonk line, have smaller mid-century houses. Along Montauk Highway and north toward the pine barrens are a few ranches and capes on wooded lots. Remsenburg-Speonk Elementary and the surrounding streets sit between the two.

Remsenburg, Speonk, and the Western South Fork

We cover all of Remsenburg from Montauk Highway to Moriches Bay, plus neighboring Speonk, which shares the station and the school. Westhampton, Westhampton Beach, and East Moriches are each a few minutes away along the highway, and one crew works that whole stretch.

Frequently asked questions

How is siding priced on a Remsenburg home?

By measuring, not guessing. The wall area, the material, whether old shingles or vinyl are coming off, and how much trim, soffit, and window wrap the house carries all drive the number. A waterfront shingle-style house with porches on Basket Neck Lane is more involved than a cottage near the station. Vinyl is the value end and fiber cement the premium end. You get it in writing after we measure.

Do I pull a siding permit from a village in Remsenburg?

No. Remsenburg is an unincorporated hamlet with no village government, so the Town of Southampton Building Division is the permit authority. A like-for-like re-side typically does not require a permit, but replacing sheathing, changing window openings, or working on a house in a bay-front flood zone may. We confirm what your project needs with the Town and file it ourselves.

What siding stands up to the bay air on Remsenburg's waterfront?

Cedar is traditional here and does well with stainless fasteners and a tight exposure, but it needs oil or stain on the sun-facing walls to keep from curling. Fiber cement shingle gives the same profile with no upkeep and real wind resistance. Insulated vinyl is the budget route and holds up if nailed correctly. Hollow vinyl on a bayfront wall is the one thing we discourage.

How long does a siding project in Remsenburg usually take?

Three to five working days for a vinyl re-side on an average house. Cedar on a large waterfront home is hand work and can run two weeks or longer. Fiber cement falls between. Wind off Moriches Bay sometimes costs a day, and we will not hang siding in a gale. We block out Remsenburg jobs fully so the crew is on site every workable day.

Can windows be replaced during a Remsenburg siding job?

Yes, and the creekside houses benefit most. Years of salt wind find every gap around an old window, and with the siding off we can set new double-hung, casement, bay and bow, slider, or custom units straight into the sheathing, flash them, and side back tight to the frame. The result is one sealed wall instead of a patchwork of repairs.

A lot of Remsenburg is in a flood zone. Does that change the siding work?

Much of the hamlet south of South Country Road, along the bay and the creeks, is in a FEMA flood zone. Replacing siding by itself does not usually trigger the Town's flood rules, but if it is part of a larger renovation the substantial improvement threshold may apply. We look at your parcel's zone during the estimate and tell you plainly whether it affects the job.

Why Remsenburg Homeowners Choose AP

• In-house crews. Every Remsenburg job is done by AP's own installers. Hand-nailed cedar on a bayfront house is not something we hand to a subcontractor.
• Written price after we measure. We measure the house in person, note the waterfront exposure and tree cover, and write the full price before you say yes.
• Based nearby in East Northport. Remsenburg is about an hour from our shop via Sunrise Highway and Speonk-Riverhead Road, so we treat it as a block-out job and keep the crew here until it is done.
