The Mount Arlington houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1990 at the median, across roughly 3,054 units.
These walls carry a thin builder-spec panel over housewrap that was, by then, finally standard. An insulated or fiber-cement replacement is a visible step up from what the builder used.
Between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families, wall areas here vary enormously — which is why siding estimates in town range more widely than people expect.
About 75% 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
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Mount Arlington is part of it. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. The code figure for Morris 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.

“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 Mount Arlington 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 1990 and 44% of the stock built before 1980, Mount Arlington 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 Mount Arlington'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. Mount Arlington is about 47 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 1079 feet, Mount Arlington 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.
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.
