The Wallington houses we work on.
The typical home in Wallington was built in 1961, and of the 4,988 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Close to 84% of them predate 1980.
Aluminum and first-generation vinyl went onto these homes decades ago, over sheathing with nothing behind it. The second re-clad is the one where the wall finally gets done properly.
Most buildings here are attached or multi-family, so siding work is usually one elevation, a party-wall return or a rear addition rather than a whole-house wrap, with staging off the street.
With owner-occupancy at roughly 38%, most buildings in Wallington are owned by someone other than the occupant. We are used to that — scheduling around tenants, and quoting per building rather than per unit. Only about 21% of homes here are detached, which is why so much of the roofing in town is low-slope rather than shingled.
Local conditions we build for
Wallington sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade. Ground near Passaic River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Wallington 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 1961, 84% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Wallington 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.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Wallington construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 84% of homes in Wallington were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
Usually a day or two; larger homes run to three. Wallington is about 41 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Passaic River sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
