The Readington houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1981 at the median, across roughly 6,491 units. About 47% predate 1980.
Cladding from this period is original vinyl at the end of its service life. Color washes out on the southern and western walls, panels crack around windows, and sections pull loose in a windstorm.
On large, wooded lots the shaded elevations stay damp and hold mildew — normally the north and east faces.
88% of occupied homes in Readington 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.
The conditions this work has to survive
This is Hunterdon County: rolling farmland and river towns, with real winter weather and long driveways. Readington sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Hunterdon County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years. Ground near Round Valley Reservoir and South Branch Raritan River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Readington 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 1981 and 47% of the stock built before 1980, Readington sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes — this work is permitted by Readington'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.
It does. Hunterdon County carries a design ground snow load of 35 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.
One to three days for a typical house here. Readington is about 28 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Round Valley Reservoir 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.
