86% of occupied homes in Convent Station 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. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
The conditions this work has to survive
This is Morris County: wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey. Convent Station sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. 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.

“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 Convent Station 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 1968 and 65% of the stock built before 1980, Convent Station 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.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Convent Station is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
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. Convent Station is about 36 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
