The Cookstown houses we work on.
The typical home across the township was built in 2002, and of the 777 housing units here the median sits squarely in the 1990s and early 2000s.
These walls carry a thin builder-spec panel over housewrap that was, by then, finally standard. Panels are thin, faded to a different shade than the day they went up, and often loose along runs where the nailing was too tight to let them move.
Between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families, wall areas here vary enormously — which is why siding estimates in town range more widely than people expect.
With owner-occupancy at roughly 35%, most buildings in Cookstown are owned by someone other than the occupant. We are used to that — scheduling around tenants, and quoting per building rather than per unit. Roughly 57% of the housing here went up since 2000, which is a lot of newer construction reaching the age where builder-grade materials start showing their limits.
What Cookstown weather does to a house
Cookstown sits in Burlington County — the state's largest county by area, reaching from close-in suburbs out into the Pine Barrens. The pines around Cookstown are the condition that matters most here. Pitch pine drops needles year-round rather than leaves once in autumn. Needles pack into valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the shingle, and stay there. Shaded walls under pine cover stay damp and grow mildew on the north and east elevations.

Straight answers.
Siding in Cookstown 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 2002 and 22% of the stock built before 1980, Cookstown sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
