The Bernardsville houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1960 at the median, across roughly 2,826 units. About 71% of the stock is pre-1980.
Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. Whatever went on in the seventies is now well past its service life, and the sheathing behind it has never been protected.
On large, wooded lots the shaded elevations stay damp and hold mildew — normally the north and east faces.
95% of occupied homes in Bernardsville are owner-occupied — unusually high, and it shows in the work. People here are deciding about a house they intend to keep, which is why the conversation is normally about the right material rather than the cheapest one. Nearly 88% of the housing stock is detached single-family, so almost every job is a standalone house with its own access. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
What we build against here
Bernardsville sits in Somerset County — affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills. At roughly 682 feet, Bernardsville sits high enough to be genuinely exposed. Exposure like this shows up as lifted tabs at the rakes and ridge caps that fail before anything in the field of the roof does. On walls, exposure shows up as accelerated fading and as panels working loose along the windward elevation.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Siding in Bernardsville typically runs $16,000 to $38,000. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1960 and 71% of the stock built before 1980, Bernardsville sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Bernardsville construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 71% of Bernardsville housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Bernardsville is about 32 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 682 feet, Bernardsville is exposed enough that damage shows up at the edges — lifted tabs along the rakes and ridge caps that let go first. We use high-wind nailing patterns and sealed ridge details as standard here.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
