Siding Contractors Who Understand Westhampton Beach
Westhampton Beach has two kinds of housing and not much in between. On the mainland, around Main Street, Mill Road, and the streets toward Oneck, there are turn-of-the-century village houses with wood shingles and clapboard, plus later capes and colonials. Across the bridges on Dune Road it is oceanfront and bayfront houses, many rebuilt since the 1990s after storm damage, with cedar or fiber cement walls and a lot of glass. AP Siding & Windows works on both sides of the bay. We install cedar shake, vinyl shake, horizontal lap, insulated vinyl, board and batten, and fiber cement, and we replace windows and roofing where the exposure has beaten them.
The 1992 nor'easter that cut Dune Road in half shapes how we build here. Oceanfront siding has to be fastened for hurricane-force wind, with every course nailed on a tight schedule into solid sheathing, not just hooked onto the course below. Salt comes from both directions, the Atlantic on one side and Moriches Bay on the other, so galvanized fasteners corrode fast. We use stainless on the barrier island, period. On the mainland the exposure is gentler, but the village is still blocks from the bay, and we specify corrosion-resistant hardware and careful flashing there as well. Vinyl is fine inland; on Dune Road we steer toward fiber cement or cedar.

Where We Side in Westhampton Beach
Main Street and the side streets off Mill Road and Library Avenue hold the village's older shingled houses and bungalows on small lots. Oneck, between Oneck Lane and the bay, is larger homes on deeper lots with water views. The Potunk Lane and Beach Lane area runs down to the Dune Road bridge with a mix of eras. Dune Road itself, from the Quogue line west toward Cupsogue, is oceanfront and bayfront houses on pilings, some original 1960s cottages but mostly rebuilt. The blocks around the Westhampton Beach schools and north toward Montauk Highway are mid-century capes and ranches where vinyl is common.

We serve the whole Village of Westhampton Beach and the 11978 addresses just outside it, including Oneck and the Dune Road barrier beach. Westhampton Dunes, Quogue, Remsenburg, and the Westhampton hamlet are all within a few minutes and share the same crew and schedule.
All siding townsFrequently asked questions
How much is siding on a Westhampton Beach house, especially on Dune Road?
Oceanfront work costs more than mainland work, but not for the reason people expect. The material is similar; what adds up is the fastening schedule, stainless hardware, pile-house access, and the amount of trim and window wrap on a glass-heavy design. Square footage, material, and tear-off set the rest. Vinyl is cheapest, fiber cement highest. We measure, then write the price.
Does the Village or the Town issue my siding permit in Westhampton Beach?
If your address is inside the Village of Westhampton Beach, which includes Main Street, Oneck, and the village stretch of Dune Road, the Village Building Department issues permits and the Architectural Review Board may weigh in on visible changes. Addresses with an 11978 ZIP outside the village line go to the Town of Southampton Building Division. We confirm which applies and file for you.
What siding survives on the barrier beach in Westhampton Beach?
Fiber cement and cedar are the two we trust on Dune Road. Both are heavy enough to resist wind uplift, and neither cares about salt if the fasteners are stainless. Insulated vinyl can work on bayfront lots with the right nailing, but we are honest that hollow vinyl on an oceanfront wall will eventually peel in a storm. Inland, standard vinyl over house wrap is perfectly appropriate.
How long will siding take on my Westhampton Beach home?
Three to five working days covers a vinyl re-side on a typical mainland house. Dune Road jobs run longer: fiber cement or cedar is hand-cut and hand-nailed, pile houses need staging, and we lose days whenever the wind is too strong to hang panels safely. We schedule East End jobs as a single block so the crew is here every workable day.
Should I replace windows along with siding in Westhampton Beach?
On the barrier beach, almost always. The Village and the state code expect impact-rated or properly protected glazing on exposed walls, and the right time to install those is with the siding off. We set double-hung, casement, slider, bay and bow, awning, and custom-shape units in vinyl or fiberglass, flash them to the sheathing, and side to the frame. Mainland homes benefit the same way.
Does the Westhampton Beach Architectural Review Board get involved in siding?
It can. The Village has an Architectural Review Board that looks at exterior changes visible from the street, especially in the older part of the village around Main Street and Mill Road. A change from wood shingle to vinyl, or a different color, may need its approval before the Building Department signs off. We prepare the samples and drawings and bring them to the meeting with you.
