What siding in Haledon actually involves.
Haledon counts about 3,239 housing units, and the median one went up in 1963 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. Close to 74% of them predate 1980. A little over 29% were standing before 1940.
These walls have been re-clad once already, and the product used is now forty to sixty years old. Aluminum chalks and dents, early vinyl gets brittle and fades, and both were installed with no housewrap behind them.
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.
Owner-occupancy runs around 48% in Haledon, so a good share of the work here is for landlords and small property owners. Those jobs get the same written number and the same crews; they just tend to move faster.
Local conditions we build for
Passaic County is historic mill towns in the south and lake communities up in the highlands, and Haledon is part of it. Haledon sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Passaic County carries a design ground snow load of 40 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years. Properties near Passaic River and Molly Ann Brook also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

“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 Haledon 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 1963, 74% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Haledon 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. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Haledon is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Passaic County carries a design ground snow load of 40 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
One to three days for a typical house here. Haledon is about 46 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Passaic River sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
No deposit, in Haledon or anywhere else we work. Nothing is due until the job is finished and you have walked it with us. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost, and it does not change the quoted price.
