A Proven Process. Installed the Right Way. Backed by a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.
At GLS Construction, we do not just replace siding. We follow a documented installation process designed to protect your structure, improve energy efficiency, and give you long-term peace of mind.
Serving Brockport, Spencerport, Hilton, Albion, Bergen, Greece, and the surrounding Rochester area.
Your siding protects your home from Western New York weather. Snow, wind, freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and UV exposure all take a toll. Our siding installation services include durable options such as vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood, each selected for performance in moisture, wind, and temperature extremes. We focus on proper installation and material-specific best practices to ensure long-term protection, dependable performance, and a finished exterior designed to hold up through all four seasons.
Why Homeowners Replace Their Siding
Siding replacement is often necessary when you see:
-
Warping or buckling panels
-
Fading or chalking from UV exposure
-
Loose or missing sections after storms
-
Moisture intrusion or rot beneath panels
-
Rising heating and cooling costs
-
Outdated exterior appearance
In Western NY, moisture management is critical. Improperly installed siding can trap water and damage framing, sheathing, and insulation over time.
That is why our process matters.
