What siding in Demarest usually means.
Housing here dates to 1967 at the median, across roughly 1,748 units. Something like 58% went up before 1980.
These walls have been re-clad once already, and the product used is now forty to sixty years old. Whatever went on in the seventies is now well past its service life, and the sheathing behind it has never been protected.
94% of occupied homes in Demarest 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. Nearly 98% of the housing stock is detached single-family, so almost every job is a standalone house with its own access. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way. Roughly 30% 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.
The conditions this work has to survive
This is 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.
