Siding in Rahway, house by house.
Rahway counts about 13,002 housing units, and the median one went up in 1962 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 65% predate 1980.
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.
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 52% in Rahway, 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.
Local conditions we build for
This is Union County: tight, established suburbs with housing mostly built before 1960. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade. Properties near Rahway River also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

Straight answers.
Siding in Rahway 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 65% of the stock built before 1980, Rahway sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
Yes — this work is permitted by Rahway's own construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Handling the permit and the inspection is part of what we do, and it is already in the price.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 65% of homes in Rahway 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.
