Siding in Collingswood, house by house.
The typical home in Collingswood was built in 1941, and of the 6,901 housing units here the median sits squarely in the postwar building boom. About 91% of the stock is pre-1980. Around 49% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
Pull the siding off one of these and you generally find sheathing straight to the studs, with nothing behind it. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
Wall areas vary enormously between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families here, which is why siding quotes in town range more widely than people expect.
Owner-occupancy runs around 57% in Collingswood, so a good share of the work here is for landlords and small property owners. Those jobs get the same written number and the same crews; they just tend to move faster.
What Collingswood weather does to a house
Collingswood sits in Camden County — a dense inner ring across the river from Philadelphia, thinning into farmland to the east. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. 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 Collingswood 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 1941, 91% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Collingswood sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Collingswood is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 91% of Collingswood 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.
