The Union houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1956 at the median, across roughly 22,068 units. Close to 78% 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 72% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
What we build against here
This is Union County: tight, established suburbs with housing mostly built before 1960. 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.

Union pricing, and what moves it.
Most siding projects in Union land between $10,000 and $22,000. Most jobs here come in below the midpoint. 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 Union is valued at about $450,000. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.

Straight answers.
Siding in Union 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 1956 and 78% of the stock built before 1980, Union 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. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a siding in Union is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
Older houses hold more surprises, which is exactly why we look before we quote. Around 78% of the housing in Union is pre-1980, and that vintage often means decking or flashing work on top of the covering itself.
