Siding in Ridgewood, NJ
Lightning Construction handles siding across Ridgewood, New Jersey — a Bergen County town of about 9,191 homes with a median build year of 1950 — veteran-owned, GAF-certified, no deposit and no change orders. Most Ridgewood projects run $16,000 to $38,000.
What siding in Ridgewood usually means.
Housing here dates to 1950 at the median, across roughly 9,191 units. About 89% of the stock is pre-1980. A little over 38% were standing before 1940.
Walls from these years have no housewrap and almost no insulation, because neither was standard when they went up. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
About 82% 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.
What we build against here
This is Bergen County: New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs 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 Ho-Ho-Kus Brook 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 Ridgewood 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 1950 and 89% of the stock built before 1980, Ridgewood sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes — this work is permitted by Ridgewood'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. Ridgewood also has historic district review, which can add a step before the permit is issued — we handle that too.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 89% of homes in Ridgewood 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.
One to three days for a typical house here. Ridgewood is about 49 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Ho-Ho-Kus Brook 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.
No deposit, in Ridgewood or anywhere else we work. Nothing is due until the job is finished and you have walked it with us. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost, and it does not change the quoted price.
