What siding in River Edge usually means.
The typical home in River Edge was built in 1954, and of the 4,590 housing units here the median sits squarely in the postwar building boom. Roughly 82% were standing before 1980.
Homes from this era were built before anyone wrapped a house: bare sheathing, no moisture barrier, little or no wall insulation. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
About 76% 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.
Local conditions we build for
Bergen County is New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills, and River Edge is part of it. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating 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.

Straight answers.
Siding in River Edge typically runs $16,000 to $38,000.

The inspection settles it before you get a number.
