Rochester’s Siding Installation & Replacement Experts
Siding is more than curb appeal. In Rochester’s climate, it’s the primary moisture barrier protecting your home’s structure from lake-effect snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, and spring storms. When siding starts to fail — cracking, warping, fading, pulling away from the house — it’s not just an aesthetic problem. It’s a weatherproofing problem that, left unaddressed, leads to moisture intrusion, rot, and much more expensive repairs.
City Wide Roofing & Siding has been installing and replacing siding on Rochester homes and businesses for over 50 years. We carry vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and steel siding products from leading manufacturers, and we install every job to manufacturer specifications — which matters not just for performance but for warranty coverage. City Wide also installs replacement windows and handles fascia & soffit work — often the right time to address all three together for a complete exterior transformation. Our crew is the same team that handles our roofing work: experienced, local, and accountable to Jeff Michel and the standards he upholds on every job.
New siding also delivers real energy efficiency gains. Insulated vinyl siding with continuous foam backing can reduce heating and cooling costs meaningfully in a Monroe County home. We’ll help you understand the options, the tradeoffs, and the right choice for your home and budget. Call (585) 265-4881 or fill out the form to schedule a free estimate.

Siding Options for Rochester Homes & Businesses
Every material has different strengths. We help you match the right siding to your home, your climate, and your budget — and install it to last.
Vinyl Siding
The most popular choice in Rochester for good reason. Vinyl is low-maintenance, cost-effective, and available in a wide range of colors and profiles. Insulated vinyl adds a continuous foam backing that boosts energy efficiency and reduces exterior noise. Holds up well in freeze-thaw conditions and never needs painting.
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie and similar fiber cement products offer the look of wood with dramatically better durability — resistant to moisture, rot, insects, and fire. An excellent choice for Rochester homeowners who want premium performance and curb appeal. Requires painting but holds paint far longer than real wood.
Engineered Wood Siding
LP SmartSide and similar engineered wood products deliver authentic wood aesthetics with enhanced resistance to moisture, impact, and fungal decay. A strong middle-ground option that handles Rochester’s moisture cycles better than traditional wood siding while maintaining the character of natural materials.
Steel & Aluminum Siding
Metal siding options provide exceptional durability and a distinctive look. Steel is impact-resistant and holds paint permanently. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and good for commercial applications. Both perform extremely well in Upstate New York weather and carry long manufacturer warranties.

Why Rochester Homeowners Choose City Wide for Siding
It’s in Our Name
City Wide Roofing & Siding isn’t a roofing company that dabbles in siding. Siding has been a core part of our business for over 50 years — the same crew, the same standards, the same accountability on every exterior job.
Licensed & Fully Insured
New York State licensed with full general liability and workers’ comp on every job. Manufacturer warranties are honored in full because we install to their specifications every time.
Proper Moisture Barrier Work
We don’t just pull off old siding and nail on new. We inspect and correct the housewrap, flashing, and sheathing underneath — because that’s what separates a job that lasts from one that doesn’t.
Upstate-Proven Materials
We recommend and install products that have demonstrated performance in Rochester’s climate — freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, wind, and UV. Not every material that looks good in a showroom holds up in Monroe County winters.
Siding FAQs
Common questions from Rochester homeowners about siding materials, costs, and installation.
How much does new siding cost in Rochester, NY?
Siding costs vary significantly by material, home size, and scope. Vinyl siding on an average Rochester home typically runs $8,000–$18,000 installed. Fiber cement (James Hardie) and engineered wood run higher due to material cost and installation complexity. We provide free, no-obligation estimates — call (585) 265-4881 or fill out the form for a quote specific to your home.
What is the best siding for Rochester’s climate?
Insulated vinyl siding is the most practical choice for most Rochester homes — it handles freeze-thaw cycles well, requires no maintenance, and the insulated version adds meaningful energy efficiency. Fiber cement (James Hardie) is the premium option if you want the look of wood with far superior durability. We’ll help you weigh the options based on your home and priorities.
How long does a full re-siding job take?
Most residential re-siding projects in Rochester are completed in two to five days depending on home size, material, and complexity. We confirm the timeline in your written estimate and keep you updated throughout the project.
Do you remove the old siding before installing new?
Yes. We remove existing siding to inspect the housewrap, sheathing, and flashing underneath. Installing new siding over old siding without inspecting what’s beneath is a shortcut that frequently leads to moisture problems. Doing it right means seeing what’s under there first.
Will new siding improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Insulated vinyl siding with continuous foam backing can meaningfully reduce heat loss in a Rochester home, particularly in older homes with minimal exterior insulation. It also reduces drafts and exterior noise. We can walk you through the specific R-value improvements for the materials we recommend during your estimate.
Can you match existing siding for a repair?
We do our best to match existing siding for repair jobs, sourcing the closest available profile and color. Exact matches aren’t always possible with older or discontinued products, but we work to minimize the visible difference. For storm damage insurance claims, documentation of any color variation is included in our report.
