What siding in Ship Bottom usually means.
Housing here dates to 1970 at the median, across roughly 2,089 units. About 59% 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.
92% of occupied homes in Ship Bottom 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.
What Ship Bottom weather does to a house
This is Ocean County: barrier islands, bayfront neighborhoods and large planned communities inland. Ship Bottom sits in the sandy, pine-covered part of South Jersey. Needle drop is continuous here, and needles behave differently from leaves — they mat, they hold water, and they do not blow clear. Shaded walls under pine cover stay damp and grow mildew on the north and east elevations.

Straight answers.
Siding in Ship Bottom 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 1970 and 59% of the stock built before 1980, Ship Bottom sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
