What siding in Totowa usually means.
Housing here dates to 1958 at the median, across roughly 3,980 units. Close to 74% of them predate 1980.
Pull the siding off one of these and you generally find sheathing straight to the studs, with nothing behind it. The wall assembly gets rebuilt properly in the process, which is worth more than the new color.
About 74% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
What Totowa weather does to a house
Passaic County is historic mill towns in the south and lake communities up in the highlands, and Totowa is part of it. Totowa sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. The code figure for Passaic County is 40 psf of ground snow load — a real number with real consequences. What actually damages houses is not the load but the ice dam that forms when a warm attic melts the underside of the snow and the cold eave freezes it again. 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 Totowa 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 1958 and 74% of the stock built before 1980, Totowa sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
Yes — this work is permitted by Totowa'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 does. Passaic County carries a design ground snow load of 40 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.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Totowa is about 47 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
