The Keyport houses we work on.
Keyport counts about 3,457 housing units, and the median one went up in 1961 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 81% of the stock is pre-1980. A little over 33% were standing before 1940.
Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. Whatever went on in the seventies is now well past its service life, and the sheathing behind it has never been protected.
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 50% in Keyport, 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 we build against here
Monmouth County is inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other, and Keyport is part of it. Keyport sits on the coastal side of Monmouth County, and that changes what goes on the roof rather than just how it is fastened. Salt-laden air corrodes ordinary fasteners, drip edge and flashing from the underside where nobody looks, so we specify corrosion-resistant metal and stainless or coated fasteners as standard. Nor'easters do their damage at the edges — eaves, rakes and ridge — which is where high-wind nailing patterns and sealed starter courses earn their keep. On walls, the same salt load is what chalks and pits south- and east-facing elevations years before the sheltered sides go.

“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 Keyport 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 1961 and 81% of the stock built before 1980, Keyport 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.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Keyport construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Yes, in two specific ways. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners because salt air attacks ordinary metal from underneath, and we use high-wind nailing patterns with sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, which is where coastal storms lift a roof first.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Keyport is about 13 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 Keyport runs about 50%, 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.
No deposit, in Keyport 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.
