Siding That Stands Up to Freeze and Thaw

Your siding protects the walls and insulation from rain, snow, and temperature changes that can cause wood to rot, vinyl to crack, and moisture to reach the framing behind it. In Horseheads, where freeze-thaw cycles occur throughout late winter and early spring, siding must be installed with proper flashing, drainage, and fastening techniques to prevent warping and water infiltration. Mccomis Properties provides siding installation and replacement services that improve curb appeal and energy efficiency while addressing the structural and weatherproofing needs common in this region.

Siding replacement begins with removing old panels and inspecting the sheathing and house wrap for damage or gaps that allow air and moisture to penetrate. New house wrap or weather barriers are installed where needed, followed by trim and flashing around windows, doors, and corners. Siding is then fastened with attention to expansion gaps that allow materials to shift slightly during temperature changes without buckling or cracking. Materials are selected based on durability, maintenance requirements, and suitability for New York's freeze-thaw cycles.

Old siding is carefully removed to expose the sheathing, which is checked for rot, mold, or soft spots that indicate water has been reaching the structure. In Horseheads, older homes may have inadequate or damaged house wrap, which is replaced to create a continuous moisture barrier before new siding is installed. Flashing is added around all openings to direct water away from vulnerable areas.

After the siding is installed, you will notice a home that no longer shows drafts along exterior walls, siding panels that remain flat and secure without warping or separating, and trim that stays sealed at corners and seams. The exterior resists moisture penetration during rainstorms and handles temperature swings without cracking or buckling. Energy efficiency improves as air leaks are sealed and insulation remains dry and effective.

Mccomis Properties is fully insured with a focus on clean, professional job sites and reliable timelines. Attention to detail on trim, flashing, and weatherproofing ensures long-term protection in both urban and rural settings. The finished siding performs as a weather barrier that protects your home's structure while improving appearance.
