Siding in Chatham, NJ
Lightning Construction handles siding across Chatham, New Jersey — a Morris County town of about 4,102 homes with a median build year of 1974 — veteran-owned, GAF-certified, no deposit and no change orders. Typical Chatham jobs land between $16,000 and $38,000.
What siding in Chatham usually means.
The typical home across the township was built in 1974, and of the 4,102 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Something like 59% went up before 1980.
Most houses from this stretch are on their second skin already — aluminum in the 1960s and 1970s, early vinyl after that. Aluminum chalks and dents, early vinyl gets brittle and fades, and both were installed with no housewrap behind them.
About 84% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
Local conditions we build for
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Chatham is part of it. Chatham sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Under New Jersey's construction code Morris County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years.

“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 Chatham 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 1974 and 59% of the stock built before 1980, Chatham 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 Chatham 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.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Chatham is about 31 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
