When siding is cracked, faded, or letting water in, most homeowners end up choosing between two materials: vinyl and fiber cement. Both are good options for North Jersey homes. They just suit different priorities.
Vinyl is the budget-friendly choice. It never needs painting, cleans up with a hose, and comes in a wide range of colors and profiles. Modern vinyl is thicker and more rigid than the thin panels many older homes still have.
Fiber cement costs more but offers a heavier, more solid look that suits older colonials and Victorians, like many of the homes in Montclair, Nutley, and Fair Lawn. It resists impact and fire well and can be repainted when you want a new color.
Whichever you choose, installation decides how long it lasts. That means checking and repairing the sheathing underneath, installing house wrap correctly, flashing around windows and doors, and leaving room for the siding to expand and contract with the seasons.
We bring samples of both to your free estimate so you can see them against your own house and in your own light before you decide.
