The Kinnelon houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1976 at the median, across roughly 3,463 units. Something like 56% went up before 1980.
These homes were sided in early mass-market vinyl, thinner and less UV-stable than anything sold today. Failure is uneven — the sheltered elevations can look fine while the exposed ones are visibly gone.
On large, wooded lots the shaded elevations stay damp and hold mildew — normally the north and east faces.
93% of occupied homes in Kinnelon 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 91% 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.
What Kinnelon weather does to a house
This is Morris County: wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey. Kinnelon sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years. Properties near Splitrock Reservoir and Pequannock 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 Kinnelon 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 1976 and 56% of the stock built before 1980, Kinnelon 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.
Yes — this work is permitted by Kinnelon'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 does. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Kinnelon is about 48 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Splitrock Reservoir sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
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.
