The North Arlington houses we work on.
North Arlington counts about 6,900 housing units, and the median one went up in 1954 — in the postwar building boom. Roughly 89% were standing before 1980.
Homes from this era were built before anyone wrapped a house: bare sheathing, no moisture barrier, little or no wall insulation. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
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.
Owner-occupancy runs around 44% in North Arlington, 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.
What North Arlington weather does to a house
North Arlington sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.

North Arlington pricing, and what moves it.

Straight answers.
Siding in North 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 1954, 89% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, North Arlington 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 North Arlington is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 89% of homes in North Arlington were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here — owner-occupancy in North Arlington runs about 44%, so most buildings are owned by someone other than the occupant. We quote per building, schedule around tenants, and the no-deposit terms are the same.
