Siding in Barrington, NJ

Why a roofer does this work

Because the worst water damage we find is almost never in the middle of a wall. It is at the step flashing up a dormer cheek, behind a gutter that has been overflowing for two winters, or where a lower roof dies into an upper wall. Those are roof details that happen to be made of siding. When the same crew handles both sides of that junction, nobody gets to say the other trade caused it.

What we take on

• Damaged panels

  Cracked, warped or wind-pulled sections replaced and colour-matched as closely as the material allows.

• Wall-to-roof junctions

  Step flashing and kick-out detail redone where a slope meets a wall, which is the usual leak.

• Trim and fascia

  Rotten boards behind gutters cut back to sound timber rather than capped over.

• Dormer cheeks

  Small areas, awkward to reach, and responsible for far more interior damage than their size suggests.

• Full elevations

  A wall taken back and re-covered where repairs have stopped being worth it.

• Soffit and intake

  Vented soffit kept clear, because the roof above it needs the air that comes in here.

Matching what is already there

Panels fade, so a new section beside a twenty-year-old wall rarely disappears completely. We will tell you honestly how close the match will get before anything is ordered, and sometimes the better answer is doing a whole elevation rather than a patch that will always read as a patch. Either way the figure is written down first, with the repair and the fuller option priced separately where both make sense.

Doing it in the right order

If the roof is coming off within a couple of years, some siding work is better done at the same time: the flashing goes in once, the scaffolding comes once, and you pay for access once. If the roof has a decade left, we say so and we get on with the wall. The inspection is free, so sequencing the two is a conversation rather than a commitment.
