What siding in Leonia usually means.
Leonia counts about 3,598 housing units, and the median one went up in 1945 — in the postwar building boom. Close to 84% of them predate 1980. A little over 41% were standing before 1940.
Pull the siding off one of these and you generally find sheathing straight to the studs, with nothing behind it. Re-siding one of these is the rare exterior job that actually changes what the house costs to heat.
About 70% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Almost nothing new has been built here — under 3% of homes date from this century — so essentially every job in town is a replacement rather than a first roof.
What Leonia weather does to a house
This is Bergen County: New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.

“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 Leonia 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 1945 and 84% of the stock built before 1980, Leonia sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes — this work is permitted by Leonia'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.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 84% of homes in Leonia were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Leonia is about 44 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
