Choosing Siding for the New York Climate
Price is not the only test. In New York - about 81°F in summer, 13°F on winter nights - these weather factors shape the right choice:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); New York sits in region 2.
Freeze-thaw. Water that gets behind siding and then freezes pries seams and caulk apart. With winter lows near 13°F, flashing at windows and kick-out flashing where a roof meets a wall are worth more than a fancier panel.
Deep snow. Snow banks sit against the bottom of the walls for weeks. Keep the first course well above grade and use a material that does not soak up water, such as vinyl or sealed fiber cement.
Coastal homes. Salt, fog and wind arrive together on the shore. Fiber cement and vinyl both handle salt well; the weak points are nails, flashing and aluminum trim, so ask what grade the crew uses.
Contractors here work most of the year, but early spring and late fall book fastest. Ask about a midsummer start if you want a shorter wait.

Getting a Fair Siding Quote in New York
Put quotes side by side on equal terms. These details explain most of the gap:
- Insulation. Ask if foam board or insulated panels are priced in, and what R-value they add.
- Soffit and fascia. Find out if the roof edge is covered or left as is.
- Payment terms. A small deposit and the balance after the final walk-around is normal.

Siding Questions
Should the old siding come off?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $2,190 to $4,380 here.
Is HARDIE board worth the higher price?
Vinyl is the budget pick ($12,670 to $18,300); HARDIE fiber cement ($22,000 to $31,770) costs more but looks closer to wood, handles heat and impact better and suits higher-value homes.
How do contractors price siding in New York?
