Siding Installation
in Red Hook
The original siding on Red Hook's attached row houses, brownstones, and prewar apartment buildings is often approaching or past its expected lifespan — faded, brittle, possibly concealing moisture damage underneath. TrueCraft provides complete siding replacement in New York City: removal of the existing system, inspection and repair of the sheathing underneath, installation of new house wrap, and installation of new siding with all trim details properly executed.

Siding Material Selection for New York City Homes
NYC area homeowners have several strong siding options. Vinyl siding is the most affordable choice and has improved significantly in quality and appearance over the past decade. James Hardie fiber cement (HardiePlank) is our most recommended material for New York City — it looks like painted wood, doesn't rot or warp, resists insects, and carries a 30-year finish warranty. For coastal New York City properties with direct exposure to salt air, fiber cement is strongly preferred over vinyl, which can become brittle and discolor under continuous UV and salt exposure.
What Happens During a Red Hook Siding Project
A TrueCraft siding installation in New York City begins with removing and disposing of the existing siding material — including any deteriorated trim, corner boards, and J-channel. We inspect the sheathing layer beneath for moisture damage and make repairs before any new material goes on. New moisture-resistant house wrap is then installed over the full exterior, followed by the siding panels, trim, window and door casing, corner treatments, and fascia/soffit work. The result is a complete, weathertight exterior system — not just a surface-level cosmetic update.
What's Included in Our Siding Installation Service
Frequently Asked Questions
What siding material do you recommend for Red Hook?
For most New York City homes, James Hardie fiber cement is our top recommendation — it outlasts vinyl significantly, looks superior, and holds its value. For coastal New York City properties especially, fiber cement's resistance to moisture and salt air makes it the clearly superior choice.
How long does siding installation take in Red Hook?
A typical siding replacement on a New York City home takes 3–7 days depending on home size, complexity, and whether trim and soffit work is included.
How long does new siding last in New York City's climate?
Fiber cement siding carries a 30-year finish warranty and can last 50+ years. Vinyl siding typically lasts 20–40 years. Both significantly outperform the original aluminum or hardboard siding common in New York City's early 20th century to mid-century homes.
