What siding in Mountainside actually involves.
Mountainside counts about 2,567 housing units, and the median one went up in 1957 — in the postwar building boom. Roughly 88% were standing before 1980.
Pull the siding off one of these and you generally find sheathing straight to the studs, with nothing behind it. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
88% of occupied homes in Mountainside 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. Nearly 97% of the housing stock is detached single-family, so almost every job is a standalone house with its own access. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
What we build against here
This is Union County: tight, established suburbs with housing mostly built before 1960. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. 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 Mountainside 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 1957 and 88% of the stock built before 1980, Mountainside sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Mountainside is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 88% of Mountainside housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
