The Kearny houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1951 at the median, across roughly 15,367 units. About 80% of the stock is pre-1980. A little over 38% were standing before 1940.
Walls from these years have no housewrap and almost no insulation, because neither was standard when they went up. Re-siding one of these is the rare exterior job that actually changes what the house costs to heat.
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 43% in Kearny, 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.
What Kearny weather does to a house
This is Hudson County: the most densely built county in New Jersey, where most roofs are flat and most walls are shared. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. 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 Kearny 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 1951, 80% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Kearny 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 Kearny'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.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 80% of Kearny housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Kearny is about 34 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here — owner-occupancy in Kearny runs about 43%, so most buildings are owned by someone other than the occupant. We quote per building, schedule around tenants, and the no-deposit terms are the same.
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.
