Our Siding Types in Schenectady, NY

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding has become a favored choice for many homeowners, especially for its blend of affordability and durability. Not only is it cost-effective compared to other siding materials, but it also boasts a low-maintenance appeal. Unlike some materials that require periodic painting or treatments, vinyl retains its vibrant color for years and can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water.

Its resilience to weathering, from harsh sun to winter chills, ensures it remains in prime condition, offering a protective shield for homes. Moreover, the versatility of vinyl siding allows for a range of design options, from textures that mimic wood to a broad spectrum of colors. For homeowners seeking a balance of aesthetics, protection, and value, vinyl siding stands out as a compelling choice.

Composite Siding

Composite siding is a modern marvel in the world of home exteriors, offering a harmonious blend of durability and design flexibility. Crafted using a mix of materials, often including wood fibers, binders, and resins, composite siding provides the aesthetic appeal of natural wood without its susceptibility to pests or rot. Its robust nature stands up well against the elements, resisting warping, fading, and moisture infiltration.

This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance option without sacrificing on style. With a vast array of colors and textures available, composite siding can be tailored to fit a variety of architectural designs. For those looking for a siding solution that combines the best of both worlds—strength and beauty—composite siding emerges as a top contender.

Our Siding Brands in Schenectady, NY

Hardie Board Siding in Schenectady, NY

In Schenectady's urban environment, your siding faces challenges from every direction—moisture from the Mohawk River valley, temperature swings that stress materials, and years of wear from city conditions. James Hardie fiber cement is engineered for exactly this kind of punishment.

It won't rot when gutters overflow, won't warp when temperatures fluctuate, and won't attract the woodpeckers that love to drill into traditional wood siding around here. It's the low-maintenance, high-performance choice that Schenectady homeowners are switching to.

Everlast Siding in Schenectady, NY

Think of this as "set it and forget it" siding. Everlast siding is a thick, solid composite that looks like beautiful painted cedar. The planks are also impervious to water, so unlike wood, they won’t swell, rot, or attract pests. Its best feature for our climate, however, is that the color is baked in all the way through the plank, so if a branch scratches it during a storm, it won’t leave a glaring white mark. It requires almost no maintenance and looks fantastic for decades.

Cedar Shakes Siding in Schenectady, NY

Schenectady's diverse neighborhoods include plenty of homes where shake siding would be a perfect fit—adding texture and character that flat siding simply can't match. Our composite cedar shakes work beautifully on everything from GE Realty Plot bungalows to stockade homes, giving you that classic dimensional look without the problems real wood brings in an urban environment. No woodpecker damage, no insect issues, no maintenance—just great-looking siding that lasts.

Diamond Kote Siding in Schenectady, NY

Diamond Kote is built on that same tough LP SmartSide platform, but the finish is the real game-changer. Instead of being painted on-site, the color is baked on in the factory. It's incredibly resistant to peeling, chipping, and fading. If you want a vibrant color that will actually stay vibrant through years of harsh sun and snow, this is the product we recommend.

LP SmartSide in Schenectady, NY

If you love the warm, natural look of wood grain but dread the thought of rot and maintenance, LP SmartSide is your answer. It's an engineered wood siding product treated to resist the moisture and freeze-thaw cycles we get here in Vermont. It gives you the beautiful, natural wood-grain look you want with the durability you actually need.
