What siding in Franklin Lakes actually involves.
Housing here dates to 1982 at the median, across roughly 3,878 units. About 46% predate 1980.
These homes were sided in early mass-market vinyl, thinner and less UV-stable than anything sold today. Failure is uneven — the sheltered elevations can look fine while the exposed ones are visibly gone.
89% of occupied homes in Franklin Lakes 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 88% 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.
What Franklin Lakes weather does to a house
Bergen County is New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills, and Franklin Lakes is part of it. Elevation is the local variable here — around 522 feet, with little shelter. Exposure like this shows up as lifted tabs at the rakes and ridge caps that fail before anything in the field of the roof does. On walls, exposure shows up as accelerated fading and as panels working loose along the windward elevation.

“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 Franklin Lakes typically runs $30,000 to $70,000. 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 1982 and 46% of the stock built before 1980, Franklin Lakes 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.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Franklin Lakes construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
