Siding in Cresskill, house by house.
The typical home in Cresskill was built in 1964, and of the 3,235 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Something like 68% went up before 1980.
Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. The second re-clad is the one where the wall finally gets done properly.
About 78% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
What Cresskill weather does to a house
Cresskill sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating 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 Cresskill 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 1964 and 68% of the stock built before 1980, Cresskill 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 — this work is permitted by Cresskill's own construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Handling the permit and the inspection is part of what we do, and it is already in the price.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 68% of homes in Cresskill were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
