What Insulation to Use When I Replace My Siding
Introduced in the 1950s, vinyl sidings serve as a strong line of defense for your
Somers' siding landscape reflects the town's housing variety. Former lake bungalows and cottages in Shenorock, Lincolndale, and Lake Purdys often have original cedar shingle or clapboard siding with decades of paint and weathering — many in need of comprehensive assessment and replacement after years of lake-adjacent moisture exposure. Postwar colonials and ranches throughout the town have conventional aluminum or vinyl siding systems now past their designed service life on many properties. Newer large-lot homes on Somers' two- and three-acre parcels may have wood, fiber cement, or newer vinyl siding still in good condition.
Meridian Contracting installs and replaces siding throughout Somers in every major material, with specifications appropriate to each home's era and the watershed moisture environment.
We provide this service near landmarks and roads including:
Cedar shingle and clapboard for lake community bungalows and rural properties where traditional character is part of the home's appeal, with appropriate moisture barriers and sealing for the watershed environment.
Better moisture resistance than vinyl or wood — the strongest long-term choice for Somers' lake-adjacent and watershed-setting properties where elevated ambient moisture is a year-round factor.
Practical for Somers' postwar colonials and ranches where function and cost-effectiveness are the priority, with moisture barriers appropriate to the watershed setting.
Somers’ position within the Croton Watershed means elevated ambient moisture throughout the town — conditions where standard vinyl without a proper moisture barrier can allow water to accumulate behind the siding faster than in drier, more open communities. Fiber cement’s better moisture resistance makes it the strongest long-term material choice for lake-adjacent and watershed-setting Somers properties. For converted lake bungalows, we always inspect the original sheathing before installing new siding given the moisture history these structures typically carry.
