Saddle Brook is a township of about 14,300 residents set between two rivers, with the Saddle River on its eastern boundary and the Passaic River on its western one. When Hurricane Floyd struck in 1999, the township felt it badly enough that the storm led to the creation of its own alert television channel for residents. Storms are part of life here, so much of this page looks at how different kinds of weather damage siding and what to do about it.

How Different Storms Damage Siding

Not all siding damage is obvious from the driveway. Each kind of storm tends to leave its own marks.

High wind

Wind attacks siding at its edges. Outside corners, gable ends, and the bottom course are where panels usually let go first. A panel does not have to blow off to be damaged; if it has been pulled partly out of its lock, it will flex in the next storm until it tears free. Look for panels that sit out of line, corners that have separated, and pieces lying in the yard.

Wind-driven rain

Rain driven sideways can get past details that normally stay dry. Leaks that show up only during storms from one direction often point to flashing at windows, doors, or roof-to-wall joints, or to gaps around siding near the roofline. Stains on inside walls or around window trim after a windy storm are a clue.

Hail

Hail can crack or puncture vinyl, especially in cold weather when it is more brittle, and can dent aluminum siding and trim. Damage is often easiest to spot on the side of the house that faced the storm, and on metal trim and gutters nearby.

Falling branches

Even a modest limb can crack a run of siding, bend J-channel, or knock a corner post loose. Larger branches can damage sheathing or framing behind the siding, so a heavy hit deserves a closer look.

Snow and ice

Snow piled against walls, whether from drifting, shoveling, or plowing, presses on the lowest courses and can crack cold vinyl. Ice dams at the eaves can force meltwater back under the roof edge and into the top of a wall, leaving stains on siding and trim below.

What to Do After a Storm

Stay safe. Do not climb ladders or go onto a roof to look at damage.
Walk around the house and look from the ground for missing, cracked, or hanging siding and trim.
Take photos of everything before it is cleaned up or moved, including pieces on the ground.
If a wall is open to the weather, call us so we can discuss how to protect it.
If you plan to file an insurance claim, contact your insurer. The insurer decides what is covered.

We can document storm damaged siding, explain the repairs needed to protect the wall, and provide a clear written estimate.

Siding replacement and new siding installation

Not every repair comes from a storm. We also fix siding damaged by impact, age, and poor installation, and we always look for the cause so the repair holds.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Damaged vinyl panels can usually be replaced one at a time. We unlock the panel from the course below, remove the nails, and lock in a replacement fastened loosely so it can expand and contract. Loose panels are re-hung, and buckled sections nailed too tight can often be corrected.

Expect a straight answer about color. Vinyl fades, and colors and profiles get discontinued. A new panel may not perfectly match a weathered wall. We find the closest available match and explain options, like moving original panels from a hidden wall to the damaged area.

Fiber Cement, Wood, and Aluminum

Fiber cement: strong boards that can still crack from hail or impact. We replace boards, flash joints, and repaint.
Wood and cedar: split or rotted clapboards and shingles are replaced, primed, and painted, and we check why moisture collected there.
Aluminum: hail and debris leave dents. We replace damaged sections where matching profiles can be found.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm the cause on site.

Loose siding: panels that rattle, bow, or have come unlocked.
Cracked siding: impact, hail, age, or cold brittleness.
Warped or buckled siding: ripples from tight nailing or heat.
Missing siding: pieces torn off by wind.
Damaged trim: split corners, bent J-channel, loose trim.

Moisture Behind the Siding

All siding lets some water behind it; the weather-resistive barrier and flashing direct it back out. Problems begin when water gets in faster than it drains or dries. Common sources:

Missing kick-out flashing where a roof edge meets a wall
Overflowing gutters soaking the siding below
Windows and doors without proper flashing
Cracked or missing panels left open after a storm

Signs include stains, peeling paint, swelling, soft spots, and musty smells near an exterior wall. Because we also handle roofing and gutters, we check the roof edge and drainage above a damaged wall. Our Saddle Brook gutter cleaning page explains how gutters protect the walls below.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit and fascia close off the roof overhang, and fascia carries the gutters. Storms can tear soffit loose and bend fascia, and rotted fascia lets gutters sag and overflow. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check what caused the damage.

Repair or Replacement After a Storm?

Repair usually works when damage is limited to a few pieces or one wall. Replacement is worth discussing when:

Several walls were damaged
The siding was already brittle before the storm
Moisture has damaged the wall behind the siding
Matching material cannot be found
You are also replacing the roof or gutters

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Saddle Brook, we look at the siding and the wall behind it and explain which approach makes sense.

New Siding Installation

For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, and roof-to-wall joints, and fasten new siding with room for expansion and secure attachment at corners and edges. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and review product, profile, and color options at the estimate.

Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Saddle Brook construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Getting Ready Before Storm Season

Walk the house and look for loose panels, separated corners, and lifted trim
Have small problems fixed before wind can catch them
Clean gutters so heavy rain goes into the downspouts, not down the walls
Trim branches that overhang or touch the house
Keep a few photos of your siding in good condition for comparison

Protecting an Open Wall

If a storm leaves a section of wall open, with siding gone and wrap or sheathing showing, the goal is to keep water out until a proper repair can be made. From the ground, you can note the size and location of the opening and photograph it. Avoid climbing to tape or nail anything yourself. Tell us about the opening when you call, and we can talk through temporary protection and the permanent repair, including checking whether water has already reached the sheathing or insulation. Leaving a wall exposed for weeks invites rot and interior damage, so it is worth addressing promptly.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check for winter damage from snow piles and ice.
Summer: watch sunny walls for ripples, a sign of tight nailing.
Fall: clear gutters before autumn storms.
Winter: keep shovels and plowed snow away from the siding.

Look from the ground only, and call a professional for anything high.
