Siding in Rockaway, house by house.
Rockaway counts about 10,024 housing units, and the median one went up in 1972 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 60% predate 1980.
Most houses from this stretch are on their second skin already — aluminum in the 1960s and 1970s, early vinyl after that. Aluminum chalks and dents, early vinyl gets brittle and fades, and both were installed with no housewrap behind them.
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.
The conditions this work has to survive
This is Morris County: wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey. This is the high, cold corner of New Jersey. Under New Jersey's construction code Morris County is designed for 35 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.

“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 Rockaway 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 1972 and 60% of the stock built before 1980, Rockaway sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Rockaway is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Morris 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.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Rockaway is about 45 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
