Siding in Princeton Junction, house by house.
Princeton Junction counts about 11,944 housing units, and the median one went up in 1990 — in the 1990s and early 2000s.
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.
About 65% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way. Roughly 32% of the housing here went up since 2000, which is a lot of newer construction reaching the age where builder-grade materials start showing their limits.
What we build against here
This is Mercer County: the state capital and the university towns around it, with housing spanning two centuries. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating 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. Properties near Millstone River also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

“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 Princeton Junction 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 1990 and 23% of the stock built before 1980, Princeton Junction sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
