Trade Overview

Built specifically to withstand New York’s rigorous structural and environmental demands.

Exterior siding is your building's primary armor against New York's blizzards, driving rain, and solar exposure. Outdated wood or thin vinyl often leads to hidden rot inside wall cavities, drafts, and exorbitant heating costs. Green Building Construction LLC engineers advanced exterior cladding assemblies incorporating continuous exterior rigid insulation, breathable weather-resistive barriers (WRB), ventilated rainscreen cavities, and architectural-grade James Hardie or cedar siding that never rots or warps.
