The Cranbury houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1988 at the median, across roughly 1,327 units.
These homes were sided in early mass-market vinyl, thinner and less UV-stable than anything sold today. Color washes out on the southern and western walls, panels crack around windows, and sections pull loose in a windstorm.
On large, wooded lots the shaded elevations stay damp and hold mildew — normally the north and east faces.
86% of occupied homes in Cranbury 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
Middlesex County is one of the busiest and most diverse counties in the state, built out in every decade since the war, and Cranbury is part of it. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. 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 Cranbury 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 1988 and 34% of the stock built before 1980, Cranbury sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Cranbury construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves. Cranbury also has historic district review, which can add a step before the permit is issued — we handle that too.
