Siding Installation in Head of the Harbor
The building stock across Head of the Harbor is pre-war center-hall colonials with post-war ranches filling in behind them, which is squarely the age range where siding starts failing at the seams. Salt air off Long Island Sound reaches the exposed elevations here, and vinyl on a north- or west-facing wall chalks noticeably faster than it does inland. Hardie HZ5 and cedar shake both do well here — cedar suits the older housing, Hardie suits owners who do not want a restaining cycle.
Premium vinyl handles the mid-market. Permitting runs through the Village of Head of the Harbor building department. We pull the Head of the Harbor permit and coordinate every inspection through to sign-off.
As an incorporated village, Head of the Harbor runs its own building department with its own requirements and timelines rather than deferring to the township.
