Siding in Prospect Park, NJ
Lightning Construction handles siding across Prospect Park, New Jersey — a Passaic County town of about 2,184 homes with a median build year of 1938 — veteran-owned, GAF-certified, no deposit and no change orders. Most Prospect Park projects run $10,000 to $22,000.
The Prospect Park houses we work on.
Prospect Park counts about 2,184 housing units, and the median one went up in 1938 — before World War II. Close to 96% of them predate 1980. Around 52% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
Walls from this era are wood-framed with board sheathing, usually clad two or three times over since they were built. We look behind a corner before quoting, because what is under there decides the method.
With attached and multi-family housing making up most of the stock, siding work here is usually a front elevation, a party-wall return or a rear addition rather than a whole-house wrap, and staging comes off the street.
Owner-occupancy runs around 42% in Prospect Park, 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. Only about 21% of homes here are detached, which is why so much of the roofing in town is low-slope rather than shingled. Almost nothing new has been built here — under 2% of homes date from this century — so essentially every job in town is a replacement rather than a first roof.
What Prospect Park weather does to a house
Passaic County is historic mill towns in the south and lake communities up in the highlands, and Prospect Park is part of it. Prospect Park sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Under New Jersey's construction code Passaic County is designed for 40 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years.

Prospect Park pricing, and what moves it.
Most siding projects in Prospect Park land between $10,000 and $22,000. Most jobs here come in below the midpoint. What pushes one higher is almost always something we can see before quoting — extra layers, a steep pitch, or soft decking. For context, the median home in Prospect Park is valued at about $410,000. Attached and multi-family buildings price differently again, and we quote those per building rather than per unit. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.
Housing figures are American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates for Prospect Park borough and ground snow load is from New Jersey DCA Bulletin 19-1.

“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 Prospect Park 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 1938, 96% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Prospect Park 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 Prospect Park construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Passaic County carries a design ground snow load of 40 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. Prospect Park is about 46 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes. Only about 21% of Prospect Park housing is detached single-family, so most roofs in town are low-slope. We install modified bitumen, TPO and EPDM, and we price those as flat roofing rather than quoting a shingle price that was never going to apply.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
