Your home's exterior takes a beating every single day — sun, wind, rain, impact. When siding fails, moisture gets in fast and damage follows. Forge Siding sends licensed Siding crews across Manhasset, NY to inspect, repair, and replace with zero guesswork.
Forge Siding grew out of a simple frustration: too many Manhasset homeowners were paying good money for Siding work that failed inside five years. Wrong profiles, wrong fastener gauges, no housewrap — then the callbacks never came. We do it right the first time, using manufacturer-recommended installation methods and materials rated for NY's specific climate demands.
Every estimate is itemized and written down before we ever ask for a signature. You'll see material costs, labor, disposal, and any underlying repair work broken out separately — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. We've completed thousands of Siding projects across Manhasset, NY and our callback rate is under two percent. That number matters to us.
Siding doesn't fail overnight — it gives you warning signs first. Catch them early and a repair handles it. Miss them, and you're looking at rot, mold, and structural repairs on top of the siding bill.
Hairline cracks look cosmetic but they're water channels. Once moisture gets behind the panel and hits the housewrap — or finds no housewrap at all — sheathing rot starts within one season.
Panels that bow outward have usually absorbed moisture or were installed without adequate expansion clearance. Warped vinyl or fiber cement can't seal properly at the joints, so the problem accelerates.
Interior peeling close to an outside wall isn't a paint problem — it's a moisture infiltration problem. Your siding is the likely culprit and ignoring it turns a siding job into a drywall and mold job.
Panels that have pulled away from the wall are an open door for pests, moisture, and cold air. Nails back out over time when the substrate is soft — often a sign of prior water damage underneath.
Compromised siding reduces your wall assembly's thermal performance. If you've noticed climbing heating or cooling costs without an obvious cause, degraded siding — especially if it's letting air infiltrate — is worth investigating.
Heavy algae or mold staining on the exterior surface isn't just cosmetic — it means the surface is retaining moisture long enough for organic growth. That moisture is also working its way into the wall system.
Every job below starts with a free written estimate. We specify the product, the profile, the color, and the installation method upfront — so there's no ambiguity when work begins.
Fiber cement is the workhorse material we recommend most in NY's climate — it handles humidity, impact, and UV better than most alternatives and carries manufacturer warranties that actually hold up. We're certified installers for HardiePlank, HardieShingle, and competing fiber cement systems. Installation follows manufacturer specs to the millimeter: correct lap, correct fastener type and spacing, correct clearance from grade and roof surface, and full housewrap integration on every project.
Done right, vinyl siding is durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective. Done wrong — wrong gauge, wrong fastener pattern, no expansion clearance — it warps in the heat and pulls loose in wind. We use .044" and .046" gauge panels minimum and follow thermal expansion specs precisely for NY's temperature range. Nail hem fastening at 16" centers, 1/32" expansion gap at all trim terminations, and a fully integrated vinyl accessory system so the corners, J-channel, and window trim all work together.
LP SmartSide and similar engineered wood products split the difference between the look of real wood and the dimensional stability of manufactured products. They're primed at the factory, accept field-applied paint well, and hold up to impact and moisture better than OSB or solid wood. We use LP SmartSide Trim & Fascia alongside the panel and lap systems so the trim package matches — no mixing incompatible products that age differently.
Our repair crews use the same material standards as our full-installation teams — no caulking over gaps as a permanent fix, no missing sealant at transitions, no shortcuts on housewrap at the repair perimeter. If there's rot in the sheathing behind the damaged panel, we address it during the repair rather than covering it up.
Commercial and multi-unit projects have different demands — larger panel formats, longer exposure to foot traffic and equipment contact, stricter fire ratings in some occupancy classes, and coordinated scheduling with other trades. Forge Siding handles commercial cladding projects in Manhasset, NY with full project management: dedicated site supervisor, daily progress reporting, and material delivery coordinated to minimize storage and laydown area on constrained sites.
Soffit ventilation is often compromised during re-siding work when installers don't maintain existing vent openings or fail to add ventilation where it was previously missing. We verify soffit net-free vent area against attic square footage before closing up the overhang — because your roofing contractor will find the problem later if we don't.
We built our process around the two complaints we heard from homeowners most: contractors who didn't communicate, and scopes that changed after signing. Here's exactly how a Forge Siding project runs from start to finish.
We come out, examine your existing cladding, probe for soft substrate, check flashing and housewrap condition at visible penetrations, and give you an honest assessment of what we're working with. No high-pressure sales — just a clear picture of the project scope before we talk numbers.
You receive a line-by-line written estimate: material cost by product and quantity, labor, removal and disposal of existing siding, and any sheathing repair identified in the assessment. We walk through material options with physical samples, not just catalog photos. You sign off on the spec before we order anything.
Your start date is locked at signing. Crew arrives on time, materials are staged and ready, and the site is protected before demo begins. We run a tight job — no leaving panels exposed overnight when rain is in the forecast.
Installation follows manufacturer specs and local building code. When work is complete, the lead installer does a quality check before calling you for the final walkthrough. You inspect every elevation — we go through it with you, address anything that needs attention, and make sure the site is clean and restored before we invoice.
We don't sub out work to unlicensed handymen to cut costs. Every installer on a Forge Siding project is a W-2 employee or licensed sub with verified credentials and completed manufacturer training.
Upfront pricing means you know what you're paying before a single panel comes off the wall. Change orders require your written approval. We've built our reputation in Manhasset, NY on the fact that our estimates are reliable.
We run our calendar tightly so the start date we give you is the date we're there. If a legitimate delay comes up — major weather, material shortage — we call you the day before and reschedule immediately, not a week later.
Old siding demo generates a lot of debris — old panels, nails, housewrap, fasteners. We haul it out daily. Your driveway, lawn, and landscaping are clean at the end of every work day — not just at project completion.
Our workmanship warranty covers what we did and how we did it. The product carries the manufacturer's own warranty on top of ours. That means your home is protected twice — by the material the manufacturer stands behind, and by the installation Forge Siding guarantees.

We had three other quotes before calling Forge Siding. The difference was the inspection — they actually walked the whole house with a moisture meter and found soft sheathing behind two panels on the north wall that nobody else mentioned. The estimate covered the sheathing repair too, so no surprise charges when demo day came. Final result is clean and tight. We'd hire them again without hesitation.
I manage a twelve-unit building in Manhasset and we needed LP SmartSide on three facades before winter. Forge Siding coordinated with our property manager, worked around tenant schedules, delivered materials in two staged drops to keep the lot clear, and finished four days ahead of the original schedule. Commercial billing was clean and documented. They're on our preferred vendor list now.
The fascia and soffit on our older home were rotting away and we assumed it would be a nightmare project. Forge Siding quoted it alongside the siding replacement so everything was done in one mobilization. The crew found two spots where the rafter tails had started to soften — they showed me photos before touching anything and walked me through the repair options. The whole exterior looks like a different house now.
I had a specific architectural profile I wanted for the gable ends — a shingle exposure pattern — and everyone else told me it was a custom order with a six-week wait. Forge Siding had it in stock through their regional supplier and we started within two weeks of signing. The detail work at the gable peaks is clean and exact. Not every contractor has the skill to do that level of trim work.
I'm a home inspector by trade, so I know what cutting corners on a siding installation actually looks like behind the panels. Forge Siding's work is correct — right fastener pattern, proper clearances from grade and roofline, continuous housewrap with taped seams at all penetrations. This is how it's supposed to be done and most of the crews I see in Manhasset, NY don't do it this way.
We had three bids and Forge Siding was the only contractor who physically checked the housewrap condition before quoting. Everyone else just looked at the surface. They found a section of torn WRB behind the garage bay that needed patching and included it in the estimate. When you're spending this much on an exterior, you want a company that checks the whole wall system, not just what they can see from the ground.
