Siding in Harrison, house by house.
Housing here dates to 1990 at the median, across roughly 10,062 units. Something like 45% went up before 1980.
These walls carry a thin builder-spec panel over housewrap that was, by then, finally standard. An insulated or fiber-cement replacement is a visible step up from what the builder used.
Most buildings here are attached or multi-family, so siding work is usually one elevation, a party-wall return or a rear addition rather than a whole-house wrap, with staging off the street.
With owner-occupancy at roughly 21%, most buildings in Harrison are owned by someone other than the occupant. We are used to that — scheduling around tenants, and quoting per building rather than per unit. Only about 6% of homes here are detached, which is why so much of the roofing in town is low-slope rather than shingled. Roughly 45% 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.
What we build against here
This is Hudson County: the most densely built county in New Jersey, where most roofs are flat and most walls are shared. 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. Properties near Passaic River 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 Harrison 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 1990, 45% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Harrison sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes — this work is permitted by Harrison'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.
The median Harrison home dates to 1990.
