How Long Does Siding Last in Rockland County?
A beautiful and strong home is everyone’s dream, because the weather doesn’t stay the same
Siding in Sparkill is primarily a story about wood and fiber cement on Colonial Revival homes. The hamlet's characteristic housing — symmetrical Colonial facades with clapboard siding and louvered shutters, built from the early 1900s through mid-century — has original or early-replacement wood clapboard siding now 80-120 years old with variable maintenance history across elevations. Hudson River ambient humidity from the valley promotes faster paint failure on wood siding and more active moisture intrusion on any inadequately protected surface than in drier inland communities. Fiber cement's better moisture resistance makes it the strongest long-term siding choice in Sparkill's river-adjacent humid setting.
