Siding Services We Offer
Solutions tailored to your home, your budget, and the Western NY climate.
Siding Installation
Whether you're building a new home or starting fresh with a new look, we handle full siding installations from start to finish. We work with you to pick the right material, color, and trim for your home.
Siding Replacement
When old siding is faded, cracked, warped, or letting water in, replacement is the right call. We tear off the old siding, inspect the sheathing underneath, address any rot or damage, and install your new siding the right way.
Siding Repair
Storm damage, fallen branches, hail dings, or just a few cracked panels. We handle siding repairs of all sizes across the Jamestown area and match the existing siding so the repair blends in.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding choice in Western NY because it's affordable, low maintenance, and holds up well to our weather. We install all major vinyl siding brands in dozens of colors and profiles.
Metal Siding
Metal siding is built tough. It handles snow, wind, and decades of weather without fading or cracking. Great for modern homes, barndominiums, pole barns, and anyone who wants a low maintenance exterior that lasts.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding like Hardie board gives you the look of wood without the rot, with a 30+ year lifespan. It's a premium option that adds real curb appeal and resale value to your home.
Wood Siding
For homeowners who want the classic look of real wood, we install cedar, pine, and other wood siding options. Wood siding takes more maintenance than other materials but nothing else looks quite like it.
Trim, Soffit, and Fascia
A siding job isn't complete without proper trim work. We install soffit, fascia, and trim to finish off the exterior and protect the parts of your home most exposed to water and weather.

Why Siding Matters in Western New York
Siding in Jamestown, Frewsburg, and the surrounding Western NY area takes a beating that siding in most parts of the country never sees. Lake effect snow piles up against walls for months. Wind off Lake Erie and Lake Chautauqua drives rain sideways. Freeze-thaw cycles work loose panels open, and once water gets behind siding, it rots sheathing, ruins insulation, and grows mold.
Good siding does three things. It looks great. It protects your home from water and weather. And it lasts long enough that you're not replacing it every 10 years. The difference between a siding job that lasts and one that fails is almost always in the details. Proper house wrap underneath. Correct flashing around windows and doors. The right starter strip and J-channel. Panels that are nailed correctly so they can expand and contract with temperature changes.
Twenty-eight years of siding work in Western NY teaches you what fails and what holds. We don't cut corners on the parts you can't see after the siding goes up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my siding needs to be replaced?
Common signs include cracked or warped panels, fading or chalky surfaces, visible rot, mold or mildew on the siding or behind it, gaps where panels have pulled away, and rising energy bills (which can mean water is getting behind the siding and ruining insulation). If your siding is over 20 years old and showing multiple signs, replacement usually makes more sense than ongoing repairs.
How long does siding installation take?
Most residential siding replacements take three to seven days depending on the size of the home, the material, and weather. Smaller repairs are often completed the same day. We give you a clear timeline upfront so you know what to expect.
Do you offer free siding estimates?
Yes. Lewis Contracting provides free inspections and detailed siding estimates with no obligation. We come out, look at the existing siding and sheathing, and give you an honest answer on what needs to happen.
What siding materials do you install?
We install vinyl siding, metal siding, fiber cement siding (like Hardie board), and wood siding. We can walk you through which material makes the most sense for your home, your budget, and the Western NY climate.
How much does new siding cost in Jamestown, NY?
Siding replacement costs depend on the size of your home, the material you choose, the complexity of the job, and what's underneath the old siding. Most vinyl siding replacements on average sized homes in the Jamestown area fall between $10,000 and $25,000. Fiber cement and metal run higher but last longer. We'll give you a real number after a free inspection.
How long does siding last in Western NY?
With proper installation, vinyl siding lasts 20 to 40 years. Fiber cement lasts 30 to 50 years. Metal siding can last 40 plus years. Wood siding lasts 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The biggest factors that shorten siding's life around here are improper installation, water intrusion behind the panels, and ice damming from poor attic ventilation.
What's the best siding for Western NY winters?
Vinyl is the most popular choice because it's affordable, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and doesn't require painting. Metal siding is the most durable for extreme weather and snow loads. Fiber cement is the premium option for homeowners who want the look of wood without the maintenance. The right choice depends on your budget, your home's style, and how long you plan to stay.
Can you install new siding over old siding?
In some cases, yes. But it's rarely the right call. Installing over old siding hides any rot or water damage underneath, adds extra weight to the wall, and can create issues with trim and window depth. We almost always recommend tearing off the old siding so we can inspect the sheathing and start fresh.
Do you handle insurance claims for siding storm damage?
Yes. We document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and work with you through the claims process. We don't act as your insurance adjuster, but we make the contractor side of the claim as easy as possible.
Do you install siding and roofing together?
Yes, and bundling them often saves time and money. If your siding and roof are both nearing the end of their life, doing them together means one crew, one project, and one set of disruption to your home instead of two separate jobs.
What areas do you serve for siding?
We are based in Frewsburg, NY and proudly serve surrounding communities throughout the region, including Jamestown, Falconer, Lakewood, Fredonia, Dunkirk, Westfield, Mayville, Buffalo NY, and Warren PA, Erie PA, and Russell PA.
