Siding in Runnemede, house by house.
The typical home in Runnemede was built in 1958, and of the 3,662 housing units here the median sits squarely in the postwar building boom. Close to 89% of them predate 1980.
Homes from this era were built before anyone wrapped a house: bare sheathing, no moisture barrier, little or no wall insulation. Adding a proper moisture barrier and insulated panel is the real upgrade here — the appearance is almost a side effect.
About 72% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Almost nothing new has been built here — under 3% of homes date from this century — so essentially every job in town is a replacement rather than a first roof.
The conditions this work has to survive
Runnemede sits in Camden County — a dense inner ring across the river from Philadelphia, thinning into farmland to the east. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.

What siding costs in Runnemede.

What pushes one higher is almost always something we can see before quoting — extra layers, a steep pitch, or soft decking. For context, the median home in Runnemede is valued at about $250,000. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.

“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 Runnemede 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 1958 and 89% of the stock built before 1980, Runnemede 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 Runnemede'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 changes what we look for. With roughly 89% of Runnemede housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Runnemede is about 49 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
