What siding in Wildwood Crest usually means.
The typical home in Wildwood Crest was built in 1970, and of the 5,582 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Something like 60% went up before 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.
Between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families, wall areas here vary enormously — which is why siding estimates in town range more widely than people expect.
About 81% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof.
What Wildwood Crest weather does to a house
Cape May County is the southern tip of the shore, where almost every home is within a few miles of saltwater, and Wildwood Crest is part of it. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. Behind siding it shows up as sheathing that has been quietly wet every winter for a decade.
