The Newton houses we work on.
Newton counts about 3,792 housing units, and the median one went up in 1962 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. Close to 77% of them predate 1980. Around 37% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
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.
Owner-occupancy runs around 59% in Newton, so a good share of the work here is for landlords and small property owners. Those jobs get the same written number and the same crews; they just tend to move faster.
The conditions this work has to survive
Sussex County is the highest, coldest corner of the state, with lake communities and real snow, and Newton is part of it. Newton sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Sussex County carries a design ground snow load of 50 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years. Ground near Pequest River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Newton 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 1962 and 77% of the stock built before 1980, Newton sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Newton construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
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.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Newton is about 59 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Pequest River sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
