The Irvington houses we work on.
Irvington counts about 25,155 housing units, and the median one went up in 1960 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 80% of the stock is pre-1980.
These walls have been re-clad once already, and the product used is now forty to sixty years old. The second re-clad is the one where the wall finally gets done properly.
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 30%, most buildings in Irvington 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 18% of homes here are detached, which is why so much of the roofing in town is low-slope rather than shingled.
What Irvington weather does to a house
This is Essex County: one of the most varied counties in the state, from Newark's rowhouses to hillside estates. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs 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.

The cost of siding in Irvington.
Most siding projects in Irvington land between $10,000 and $22,000. The lower half of that range covers most straightforward houses in town; the upper half is where you get into steep pitches, multiple layers to remove, or decking that has to be replaced. For context, the median home in Irvington is valued at about $340,000. Attached and multi-family buildings price differently again, and we quote those per building rather than per unit. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.

“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 Irvington 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 1960, 80% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Irvington 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 Irvington'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.
Older houses hold more surprises, which is exactly why we look before we quote. Around 80% of the housing in Irvington is pre-1980, and that vintage often means decking or flashing work on top of the covering itself.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Irvington is about 31 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes. Only about 18% of Irvington housing is detached single-family, so most roofs in town are low-slope. We install modified bitumen, TPO and EPDM, and we price those as flat roofing rather than quoting a shingle price that was never going to apply.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
