The Old Tappan houses we work on.
The typical home in Old Tappan was built in 1986, and of the 2,044 housing units here the median sits squarely in the late 1970s and 1980s. About 45% predate 1980.
Vinyl was standard by the time these went up, and thirty- to forty-year-old vinyl is exactly where it starts to fail. By this age the panels have lost enough flexibility that repairs stop being practical.
94% of occupied homes in Old Tappan 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. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way.
Local conditions we build for
Bergen County is New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills, and Old Tappan is part of it. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade. Ground near Pearl River and Hackensack River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

Straight answers.
Siding in Old Tappan 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 1986 and 45% of the stock built before 1980, Old Tappan sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.

Indirectly, yes. Properties near Pearl 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.
