Glens Falls homes tell the story of Warren County in their walls. You've got 1880s Victorians near Ridge Street with original wood clapboard that's 140 years in, Craftsman bungalows off Glen Street, and ranches and colonials pushing south toward Queensbury. Every one of them faces the same reality: roughly 90 inches of snow per year, sub-zero January lows, and 70+ freeze-thaw cycles that work seams and fasteners loose season after season.

Glens Falls sits at the gateway to the Adirondacks, and the weather reflects it. Annual snowfall averages 85–95 inches — noticeably more than Albany's typical 60. January lows routinely drop below 10°F, and the area sees 70+ days per year where temperatures cross 32°F in both directions.
That freeze-thaw cycling is the real threat. Every time moisture works into a siding seam and freezes, it expands. Repeat that 70 times a year for a decade and you'll see paint failure, rot, and buckled panels on anything that wasn't installed correctly. Ice dams compound the problem on older homes with under-insulated attics — siding along eave lines and above porch roofs takes the worst punishment from ice and snowmelt cycles.
The go-to choice for older Glens Falls homes where original wood clapboard has reached the end of its life. Fiber cement handles moisture and freeze-thaw cycling well, holds paint for 15+ years, and — critically for Victorian and Craftsman homes near Ridge Street and the Glen Street corridor — can match the profile and reveal of original wood clapboard closely enough to preserve the home's character. Estimated lifespan: 30–50 years.
For Craftsman bungalows and homes where you want the warmth of a wood-look product without the rot risk. LP SmartSide is factory-treated against moisture, fungal decay, and woodpeckers — a real issue in wooded neighborhoods near Crandall Park. Pre-primed, holds paint well, and backed by a 50-year limited warranty.
Many were built with balloon framing — no fire-stopping between floors — and original board sheathing with no housewrap underneath. Studs are often 24" o.c. rather than 16", which affects fastener patterns and insulation options. Our installs on these homes routinely add a proper drainage plane and housewrap before the new siding goes on.
Platform framing in better condition, but wall cavities are often minimally insulated or have settled. This is where adding rigid foam continuous insulation (CI) during the siding project pays dividends — it bumps energy performance without a major structural intervention.
Usually already have housewrap and modern insulation. Material selection here is primarily about aesthetics, budget, and longevity.
A 2,000-square-foot home typically has 1,500–1,800 sq ft of actual siding surface. Add-ons like housewrap installation, continuous insulation, rotten sheathing repair, and trim replacement can add 10–25% to the base cost — on older Glens Falls homes, some of those discoveries are routine. We document everything before the crew touches your house.
In most cases, yes. Fiber cement can be manufactured to match the profile and reveal of original wood clapboard closely. If your home is within the Ridge Street Historic District or listed on the National Register, we'll review what approvals may apply before we start. Our goal is a result that honors the original character of the house.
Most single-family homes take 3–5 days for the crew. Larger homes or those requiring significant prep — rot repair, housewrap installation, rigid foam insulation — may run 5–8 days. We don't rush. Properly flashed and fastened siding lasts decades; shortcuts don't.
Fiber cement and LP SmartSide handle asymmetric UV and moisture exposure well. Vinyl can fade unevenly on high-UV exposures, especially in darker colors — we'll flag that risk during the estimate and help you choose a color with fade resistance if vinyl is the right material.
Yes. We pull the required building permits through the City of Glens Falls Building Department. You don't need to manage that process yourself.
For homes with minimal wall insulation — common in pre-1970s builds — insulated vinyl with EPS foam backing delivers a measurable improvement in winter comfort and heating costs. Combined with proper air sealing at the siding install, the difference is real.
Yes — we're a full exterior contractor. Many Glens Falls homeowners combine siding with gutter replacement and a roof inspection in a single project to save on mobilization costs. Ask about bundling when you call.
