Let's be honest, nobody wants to spend their summer scraping and painting siding. That’s why vinyl siding is such a popular choice around here. It’s a cost-effective way to get a fresh, clean look for your home without the constant upkeep. Modern vinyl holds its color through the intense summer sun and won't rot or warp after a wet Chatham winter. We can show you a huge range of colors and styles that look fantastic and let you enjoy your weekends.

For homeowners in Chatham, NY, Everlast siding is especially popular because of its ability to withstand the unpredictable Upstate New York climate. What we like about Everlast siding for homes in Chatham is its "set it and forget it" quality. This isn't vinyl; it's a thick, solid composite material that looks like real cedar clapboard. Its biggest advantage in our climate is that it doesn’t expand and contract much, so the seams stay tight and water stays out. For homeowners who want a premium look that will genuinely last a lifetime with just a simple wash now and then, this is the stuff we recommend.

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.
