NOTE FOR 2026: THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO GET SIDING FROM CHRISTIAN CONSTRUCTION. FILL OUT OUR ONLINE FORM FOR AN ESTIMATE!
Siding does more work than most homeowners give it credit for. It affects how a house looks from the street, how much heat escapes in the winter, how much sound gets through the walls, and how well the structure underneath stays protected from moisture and pests. When siding starts failing at any of those jobs, replacing it becomes less of a cosmetic decision and more of a practical one.
Christian Construction installs, replaces, and repairs siding for homeowners across Staten Island, Brooklyn, and parts of New Jersey, working with the full range of common siding materials and handling everything from the initial consultation to final cleanup, rather than just installing panels and moving on to the next job. If you’re ready for an inspection or a free quote, please reach out to Christian Construction, today.
Siding Materials We Install
Christian Construction installs and repairs the full range of common residential siding materials, and the right one depends on a home’s specific needs, budget, and the look a homeowner is going for.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most widely installed siding material in the country, largely because it combines a lower upfront cost with essentially no ongoing maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. It comes in a wide range of colors and styles and never needs to be painted, though the color selection is limited to what manufacturers offer rather than a fully custom palette.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement costs more upfront than vinyl but holds up differently over the life of a home. It resists fire, rot, and pests better than vinyl or wood, and it holds paint well for homeowners who want a specific, custom color, which also means house painting becomes part of long-term maintenance in a way it isn’t with vinyl. It’s heavier and more labor-intensive to install than vinyl, which is part of why it costs more, both in materials and installation.
Wood Composite Siding
Wood composite is an engineered product built to give a home a traditional wood appearance with better moisture resistance than solid wood siding typically provides. It sits in the middle of the cost range, more expensive than vinyl but generally less than fiber cement, and it offers a warmer, more natural look than either.
Shake and Shingle Siding
Shake and shingle siding, whether authentic cedar or an engineered alternative, gives a home a distinct, textured look that flat panel materials like vinyl and fiber cement can’t fully replicate. It’s often used on part of a home’s exterior as an accent rather than covering the entire structure, though full shake and shingle installations are common on certain architectural styles.
What a Siding Project With Christian Construction Looks Like
A siding project starts with an in-person consultation, where Christian Construction looks at the current condition of a home’s exterior, talks through material options based on budget and goals, and provides a no-obligation quote.
Once a project begins, the existing siding gets removed first, which also gives a chance to inspect the sheathing and structure underneath for damage that wasn’t visible from the outside, rot, mold, or water damage that the old siding had been hiding. Any of that gets addressed before new siding goes on, since installing over a compromised structure just hides the same problem again rather than fixing it.
New siding installation typically involves reinstalling or replacing trim around windows and doors, since siding work usually disturbs that trim regardless of the material being used. Homeowners doing a full siding replacement often handle window or door replacement at the same time, since the trim work overlaps and it avoids paying for similar labor twice. Gutters attach directly to the fascia board just above where siding ends, which makes gutter replacement another common addition to a siding project for the same reason.
The project finishes with a cleanup of the site and a final walkthrough, checking the completed work against what was discussed at the initial consultation.
Why Upgrade Your Siding?
Sometimes, you need a siding contractor because your siding is in disrepair. Sometimes, you need it because you simply do not like your current siding and you’re looking for an aesthetic upgrade. Sometimes, you need new siding because you’re making other exterior upgrades. Homeowners in NYC upgrade their siding for a number of reasons.
But there are also situations when you can tell that it’s time for new siding. For example:
Your Energy Bills Are Too High
Siding in older homes is not nearly as energy efficient as it is today. If your energy bills are higher than your neighbors, your siding may be to blame.
Your Siding Is Molding
New, modern siding prevents and protects against mold and mildew, but old siding runs the risk of developing mold and rot. New siding replaces this.
Interior Paint Peeling
Siding that is in bad shape may also allow moisture to get inside. Sometimes it’s hard to see the damage that it does to your property, but if your paint starts peeling, then you can be certain your siding is damaged.
Bugs And Animals Are Getting In
Your siding protects your property from pests. As it decays or cracks, bugs, rodents, and wildlife become more likely get inside.
New Installation or Repair?
A section of storm-damaged siding, an isolated area of rot, or damage limited to one part of a home is often a candidate for siding repair rather than a full replacement.
Full replacement makes more sense when the damage is widespread, when siding is old enough that matching materials for a repair is difficult, or when a homeowner is looking to change the material or style entirely rather than maintain what’s already there. A straightforward inspection is usually enough to tell which situation applies.
Why Choose Christian Construction
Christian Construction has installed and repaired siding across Staten Island, Brooklyn, and parts of New Jersey since 1999. The company is a licensed NYC General Contractor, holding DOB License #620737, along with manufacturer-level certifications that most siding contractors don’t carry: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status and CertainTeed 5-Star Contractor certification.
Those manufacturer certifications require meeting specific installation and training standards set by the manufacturers themselves, not just a general contractor’s license. For siding, where improper installation can undermine a product’s weather resistance and void its warranty regardless of the material’s quality, that level of certification shapes how a job holds up over time. View examples of completed siding projects in the project gallery.
Christian Construction also handles roofing and masonry for homeowners planning a broader exterior project alongside siding work, along with windows, doors, and gutters for projects that go beyond siding alone.
