Siding in Somers, NY
Westchester Siding Service Serving Somers
Siding replacement and repair for Somers homes, from farmhouses and colonials to condominium-style communities and newer houses on large lots. Permits by appointment, septic areas protected, and one Guardian project manager.
When Somers Asks for Architectural Review
Somers takes its rural character seriously, and the Town has an Architectural Review Board to protect it. For most single-family houses, though, Chapter 6 of the Town Code exempts siding work from ARB examination. The exceptions are specific, and we check each one:
- A designated historic structure
- A house in the Business Historic Preservation District
- Work tied to a special permit, or a variance the Zoning Board refers
- A home in a conservation development whose approval requires referral
Getting the Permit
The Building Department works by appointment at 337 Route 202, the brick building next to the Town House. We call ahead, as the department asks, confirm what has to accompany the application, and arrive with a complete package. That keeps processing quick.

How Somers Homes Lose Their Siding
Wind-driven rain
Open lots and hilltops push water behind loose courses.
Ground contact
Siding run too close to grade or mulch beds rots from below.
Roof-to-wall joints
Missing kick-out flashing stains walls under the eaves.
Sun fade
South walls of older vinyl turn chalky and brittle.
A Family Business, Start to Finish
Guardian is our family team of five brothers, working alongside their father, in business since 1980. Your siding is installed by licensed, insured subcontractors, supervised by a Guardian project manager from the first appointment to the final walk-through. On every house we strip to sound sheathing, lap the water barrier and flash before new siding goes on. Our main siding page has photos of finished work, and you can read our Google Reviews.
Somers Siding FAQs
Does a siding job in Somers go to the Architectural Review Board?
Usually not for a one-family house. Chapter 6 of the Town Code exempts one-family detached homes and residential accessory structures from ARB examination, unless the property is designated historic, is in the Business Historic Preservation District, is part of a special permit or a referred variance, or sits in a conservation development whose approval requires referral.
How do I get a building permit in Somers?
The Building Department at 337 Route 202 takes complete applications by appointment, at 914-277-3539. The Town recommends calling first to confirm which documents to bring, which we do for you.
When does the ARB meet if my house does need review?
On the fourth Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., in the Town House meeting room at 335 Route 202.
We're on septic. Does that matter for siding?
It can matter for staging. The Town’s permitting guidance includes an appendix on protecting the sewage treatment system area. We keep dumpsters, lifts and material deliveries off the septic field and the reserve area.
What warranty comes with siding?
One year on our workmanship, in writing, plus the siding manufacturer’s own product warranty.
