The Butler houses we work on.
Butler counts about 3,517 housing units, and the median one went up in 1962 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. Roughly 75% were standing before 1980.
Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. The second re-clad is the one where the wall finally gets done properly.
About 69% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
What we build against here
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Butler is part of it. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years.

What pushes one higher is almost always something we can see before quoting — extra layers, a steep pitch, or soft decking. For context, the median home in Butler is valued at about $440,000. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.
Housing figures are American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates for Butler borough and ground snow load is from New Jersey DCA Bulletin 19-1.

“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 Butler typically runs $10,000 to $22,000. 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 1962 and 75% of the stock built before 1980, Butler sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Butler construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Butler is about 49 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 456 feet, Butler 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.
