Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. The second re-clad is the one where the wall finally gets done properly.
90% of occupied homes in Margate City 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.
What we build against here
Margate City sits in Atlantic County — the barrier-island beach towns and the fast-growing mainland behind them. Being this close to open water sets the specification here, not just the installation method. 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.

Straight answers.
Siding in Margate City 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 1970 and 64% of the stock built before 1980, Margate City 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 Margate City'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.
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.
