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.

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.
Give Us a CallAcross the Capital Region, from Albany to Troy to Schenectady, we see the same siding failures over and over—wood that rots from moisture, vinyl that cracks in cold snaps, and paint that peels after just a few years. James Hardie fiber cement solves all of it. This is why so many homeowners in Upstate New York are making the switch.
It's tough enough for our climate, requires almost no maintenance, and comes with warranties that actually mean something. When you're investing in your home's exterior, this is the material that won't let you down.
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.

Fiber Cement Siding (James Hardie) is known for it's ability to withstand harsh weather that's typically found in the Capital Region. This is our most popular siding type because it offers the appearance of wood, but doesn't have the susceptibility of rot or insect damage. Another very popular choice is insulated vinyl, which is known for its insulation and energy efficiency. Both of these types of siding are available to our Upstate New York and Western Massachusetts customers.
