Professional Vinyl Siding Installation Hempstead - R&M ROOFERS LLC
Two months ago, the Johnsons from Baldwin called us in tears. Their 40-year-old aluminum siding was literally falling off their house after that brutal March windstorm. What started as loose panels turned into water damage behind the walls, and their insurance company was giving them the runaround. They needed new siding fast, and they had no idea where to start.
I’m Mike Rodriguez, and my partner Rick Martinez and I have been installing vinyl siding across Nassau County for over ten years. We’ve helped hundreds of families transform their homes with beautiful, durable vinyl siding that handles Long Island weather like a champ.
Here’s what most people don’t know about vinyl siding installation in Hempstead: done right, quality vinyl siding can last 30+ years with almost no maintenance. Done wrong, you’ll have problems within five years. The difference comes down to proper installation techniques, quality materials, and understanding how Long Island’s salt air and weather patterns affect siding performance.
We’ve seen every siding disaster you can imagine – from DIY jobs that leak like sieves to contractor work so bad it actually decreased home values. That’s why we take time to educate our customers about what good vinyl siding installation looks like and why cutting corners always costs more in the long run.
Vinyl Siding Installation
When people ask about vinyl siding installation, they usually want to know three things: how long will it take, how much will it cost, and will it actually protect their house better than what they have now.
Real vinyl siding installation starts with a detailed inspection of your home’s exterior sheathing, insulation, and existing trim. We can’t just slap new siding over damaged walls and expect good results. If there’s rot, moisture damage, or structural issues, we address them first.
Proper preparation includes installing house wrap or moisture barrier behind the siding. This prevents water infiltration and helps regulate moisture levels inside your walls. Skipping this step causes mold problems and reduces your home’s energy efficiency significantly.
We use quality vinyl siding from manufacturers like CertainTeed, James Hardie, and Alside because cheap siding fails quickly in our climate. Good vinyl siding resists fading, cracking, and warping even after decades of Long Island sun, salt air, and temperature swings.
Installation technique matters enormously. Each piece of siding must be level, properly overlapped, and secured with the right fasteners in the right locations. We use stainless steel nails that won’t rust or pull out, and we never overdrive fasteners which causes panels to buckle.
Color selection for vinyl siding affects both appearance and performance. Darker colors look dramatic but absorb more heat and can cause expansion problems. Lighter colors reflect heat better and maintain their appearance longer. We help customers choose colors that work with their home’s style and orientation.
Most vinyl siding installation projects in Hempstead take 3-7 days depending on home size and complexity. Weather delays happen, but we schedule work to minimize disruptions and protect your home throughout the process.
Siding Repair
Siding repair becomes necessary when panels get damaged by storms, impacts, or normal wear over time. The good news about vinyl siding is that individual panels can often be replaced without affecting surrounding areas.
Storm damage to siding usually involves cracked or punctured panels, loose sections, or damage around windows and doors where wind gets behind the siding. We handle insurance claims regularly and know how to document damage properly for maximum coverage.
Faded siding repair isn’t really repair – it’s replacement. When vinyl siding fades significantly, usually after 15-20 years, individual panel replacement makes the color difference obvious. At that point, most homeowners choose complete re-siding to get uniform appearance.
Impact damage from lawn equipment, balls, or falling branches can usually be repaired if caught quickly. We carry common siding profiles and colors in our trucks, so minor repairs often can be completed same-day.
Caulk and trim repair goes along with most siding repair jobs. Failed caulk around windows, doors, and corners lets water behind the siding where it causes bigger problems. We recaulk everything with quality exterior sealants that last.
Water damage behind siding requires immediate attention because it spreads quickly and can affect your home’s structure. We remove damaged siding, address moisture problems, and install new siding properly to prevent future issues.
Roof Installation
Roof installation often happens alongside siding projects because both protect your home’s exterior envelope. When customers are already disrupting their home’s exterior for siding, it makes sense to address roofing needs at the same time.
Asphalt shingle installation is our most common roofing service. We install architectural shingles that complement vinyl siding colors and provide excellent weather protection for Long Island conditions.
Metal roofing installation works particularly well with vinyl siding because both materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Proper installation accommodates this movement without causing problems.
Roof and siding coordination prevents water infiltration at critical junction points. Flashing installation around roof-to-wall intersections requires careful planning to integrate properly with both roofing and siding systems.
Gutter installation usually happens after siding installation to make sure gutters align properly with the new siding profile. This prevents water problems and gives your home a finished, professional appearance.
Gutter Installation
Gutter installation completes most siding projects because new siding changes the roofline profile slightly. We install seamless aluminum gutters that match your new siding color and provide proper drainage away from your foundation.
Seamless gutters eliminate most leak points and handle Long Island’s heavy rainfall better than sectional gutters. We fabricate them on-site to exact measurements, ensuring perfect fit with your new siding installation.
Gutter sizing needs to match your roof area and siding configuration. Homes with large roof areas or steep pitches need larger gutters to handle water volume during storms. We calculate the right size based on your specific situation.
Downspout placement affects both drainage performance and appearance with new siding. We position downspouts to handle water flow effectively while minimizing visual impact on your home’s new exterior.
Insulation Installation
Insulation installation becomes possible during siding projects when we remove old siding and expose wall cavities. Adding insulation during re-siding provides excellent return on investment through energy savings.
Blown-in insulation works well for older homes where wall cavities lack adequate insulation. We can add insulation without major interior disruption, improving comfort and reducing energy costs significantly.
Vapor barrier installation prevents moisture problems that can damage both insulation and siding systems. Proper moisture management keeps your walls dry and prevents mold growth inside wall cavities.
Rigid foam insulation can be installed over existing sheathing before vinyl siding installation. This provides continuous insulation that eliminates thermal bridging and improves overall energy performance.
