The Hopewell houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1977 at the median, across roughly 6,612 units. Something like 53% went up before 1980.
Cladding from this period is original vinyl at the end of its service life. Color washes out on the southern and western walls, panels crack around windows, and sections pull loose in a windstorm.
91% of occupied homes in Hopewell 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 86% 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.
The conditions this work has to survive
Mercer County is the state capital and the university towns around it, with housing spanning two centuries, and Hopewell is part of it. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.

That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
