The Lambertville houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1938 at the median, across roughly 2,353 units. Something like 70% went up before 1980. A little over 52% were standing before 1940.
Walls from this era are wood-framed with board sheathing, usually clad two or three times over since they were built. Both change how the job is planned and priced, and neither is something to discover halfway through a tear-off.
Wall areas vary enormously between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families here, which is why siding quotes in town range more widely than people expect.
About 78% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
What Lambertville weather does to a house
This is Hunterdon County: rolling farmland and river towns, with real winter weather and long driveways. This is the high, cold corner of New Jersey. The code figure for Hunterdon County is 35 psf of ground snow load — a real number with real consequences. What actually damages houses is not the load but the ice dam that forms when a warm attic melts the underside of the snow and the cold eave freezes it again. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years. Ground near Delaware River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Lambertville 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 1938, 70% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Lambertville 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 Lambertville'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. Lambertville also has historic district review, which can add a step before the permit is issued — we handle that too.
It does. Hunterdon 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.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Lambertville is about 31 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes. Only about 26% of Lambertville 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.
No deposit, in Lambertville 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.
Three things separate us: no deposit, no change orders, and a written price that holds. We are GAF-certified, veteran-owned, NJ HIC 13VH12437000, rated 4.9 from 264 reviews, and we work across Hunterdon County, including West Amwell, Sergeantsville and Ringoes.
