Siding in Clayton, house by house.
Clayton counts about 3,642 housing units, and the median one went up in 1975 — in the late 1970s and 1980s. Something like 58% went up before 1980.
Cladding from this period is original vinyl at the end of its service life. Color washes out on the southern and western walls, panels crack around windows, and sections pull loose in a windstorm.
About 81% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
Local conditions we build for
Clayton sits in Gloucester County — steady suburban growth south of the river, much of it built since the 1980s. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.

“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 Clayton 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 1975 and 58% of the stock built before 1980, Clayton 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.
