Most siding doesn't fail all at once. It fails at the seams first — where two panels meet, where the trim meets the wall, where flashing was skipped or done wrong. By the time a Gansevoort homeowner calls us, they've usually been noticing something off for a season or two: paint bubbling on the south elevation, a soft spot near a window they've been meaning to check, a strip of caulk that hasn't looked right since last winter.

Saratoga County sees roughly 70–80 inches of snow per year and about 70 days annually where temperatures cross 32°F in both directions. That freeze-thaw cycling is the primary enemy. Every time moisture works into a seam and freezes, it expands. Fasteners gradually back out. Panels that were tight at installation slowly open up. After two decades, a well-installed product starts letting water in.
This is the majority of the housing stock along Route 9 and the roads off Freeman's Bridge Road. Most were never built with continuous insulation or a proper drainage plane — which means a siding project is also the moment to add both.
Insulated vinyl or LP SmartSide over rigid foam board costs more upfront but delivers a noticeably warmer house in January and reduces heating costs in a way you'll actually feel. It's far cheaper per square foot to do this during a siding project than to come back for it later. If you've had high heating bills, this is the right window.
Board-and-batten in fiber cement or LP SmartSide is the natural fit. The vertical profile is authentic to the setting — and done right, it looks like it's always been there. Both materials are far more durable in sustained moisture exposure than raw wood. Properties near Moreau Lake State Park and on the rural parcels off Wilton Road north toward Fort Edward are where we see this request most often.
When we pull existing siding off a Gansevoort home, we tell you what we find before anything else happens. Pre-1980 homes frequently have original board sheathing with no housewrap underneath — and sometimes moisture damage that's been quietly accumulating for years behind the old cladding. We document it, walk you through it, and talk through your options before any decisions get made.
No mid-job surprises. Permits go through the Town of Moreau Building Department. We handle that. You don't need to manage the process yourself. Most single-family homes run 3–5 days for the siding crew. Add a day or two if we're installing continuous insulation or repairing rot in the sheathing — both come up regularly on homes in Gansevoort that are still on their original siding from the 1970s.
Yes — the Town of Moreau requires a building permit for full siding replacement. We pull it through the Town of Moreau Building Department. You don't need to track that down yourself.
No. Gansevoort falls outside the Saratoga Springs Design Review Commission's jurisdiction, and the Town of Moreau has no historic overlay. You have full flexibility on material, profile, and color — no committee approval, no waiting period.
Fiber cement and LP SmartSide consistently outperform original vinyl and wood against Saratoga County's freeze-thaw cycling. Both handle moisture well, hold paint for 15+ years, and are rated for 30–50 years when properly installed. Insulated vinyl is the strongest budget option and delivers a real improvement on older homes built without continuous wall insulation.
Vinyl runs roughly $6–$12/sq ft installed; fiber cement and LP SmartSide run $9–$16/sq ft. A 2,000 sq ft home typically has 1,500–1,800 sq ft of actual siding surface. Housewrap, continuous insulation, and rot repair are common additions on older Gansevoort homes — we'll document what's needed before you commit to anything.

Yes — we install board-and-batten in both fiber cement and LP SmartSide. Both hold up far better than raw wood in wet, freeze-thaw conditions. It's a popular choice on larger lots and farmhouse-style properties in the Moreau area.
