The Montague houses we work on.
The typical home across the township was built in 1980, and of the 1,655 housing units here the median sits squarely in the late 1970s and 1980s. Something like 50% went up before 1980.
These homes were sided in early mass-market vinyl, thinner and less UV-stable than anything sold today. Color washes out on the southern and western walls, panels crack around windows, and sections pull loose in a windstorm.
Large, wooded lots mean walls that stay damp on the shaded elevations and hold mildew — usually the north and east faces.
About 81% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
The conditions this work has to survive
Montague sits in Sussex County — the highest, coldest corner of the state, with lake communities and real snow. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. The code figure for Sussex County is 50 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.

The cost of siding in Montague.

“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 Montague 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 1980 and 50% of the stock built before 1980, Montague sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Montague is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Sussex County carries a design ground snow load of 50 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. Montague is about 73 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 1066 feet, Montague is exposed enough that damage shows up at the edges — lifted tabs along the rakes and ridge caps that let go first. We use high-wind nailing patterns and sealed ridge details as standard here.
No deposit, in Montague 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 Sussex County, including Wantage, Augusta and Hamburg.
