Log Cabins and Other Homes

The Medford Lakes Development Company, founded in 1927, built the community’s signature log cabins from imported cedar logs, and more than 10 percent of the borough’s homes are still log cabins today. St. Mary of the Lakes, a log church built in 1931, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The community began as a summer resort and became a year-round town in the second half of the twentieth century.

We want to be clear about what we do. Log walls themselves are a specialty of their own, and at the estimate we will tell you honestly whether the work you need is something we handle or whether a log-home specialist is a better fit. If your cabin has sided additions, gables, or dormers, or if you need trim, soffit, fascia, gutter, or roof-edge work, those are areas we repair. The rest of the borough’s homes have conventional siding of many types, and we repair and replace vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum.

Lakes, Shade, and Moisture

The entire borough lies in the Pinelands Area, and with 22 lakes, including Lower and Upper Aetna Lake, water and trees are everywhere. That combination is lovely to live with and hard on exterior walls. Shaded walls stay damp after rain and grow mildew. Pine needles and leaves fill gutters, which then overflow onto siding and fascia. Walls facing a lake catch wind across the water. Falling limbs during storms can crack siding and damage trim and gutters.

Good drainage, clear gutters, trimmed branches, and gentle spring washing go a long way. When we repair siding here, we look for these causes and point out anything likely to bring the damage back.

Siding Repair Services

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl siding is hung loosely so it can move. Panels hook onto the course below and are nailed through slotted holes along the top. A damaged panel can usually be unlocked and replaced without disturbing the rest of the wall, and a loose panel can often be reseated. When a wall ripples, the courses were likely nailed too tight and need to be re-hung.

Vinyl fades in sunlight, and colors and profiles get discontinued, so a new panel may not match a weathered wall exactly. We show you the closest available match and discuss options, like moving original panels from a back wall to the front.

Wood and Cedar, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar siding can split, cup, or rot where water lingers, which happens easily on shaded lots. We replace damaged pieces, prime and finish new wood as agreed, and fix the moisture source.

Fiber cement resists rot but can crack from impact, including falling branches. We replace damaged boards, seal joints as required, and repaint.

Aluminum dents easily and its finish chalks. We replace damaged sections and tell you if an older profile is hard to match.

Recognizing Siding Problems

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

• Panels that are loose, rattling, or out of line
• Cracks and dents from falling limbs
• Green or black mildew on shaded walls
• Soft wood on trim, sills, or the bottom course
• Stains below overflowing gutters
• Missing pieces after wind

Storms and Falling Branches

Summer thunderstorms and nor’easters bring wind across the lakes and through the pines. Limbs can crack siding, dent trim, and pull gutters off fascia. After a storm, check your house from the ground and photograph damage before cleanup. Keep pieces that came off. Do not climb ladders or go onto the roof, and stay away from downed wires.

If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides what is covered. We can document what we find, explain the repairs needed to protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Behind Siding

The weather-resistive barrier and flashing behind siding send water back out. On wooded lots, the biggest threat often comes from above. We check:

1. Gutters and downspouts clogged with needles and leaves
2. Kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall joints
3. Window and door flashing
4. The bottom course and its clearance above soil, mulch, and pine straw
5. Openings for vents, lights, and pipes

Because we also repair roofs and gutters, we can fix the source. Our Medford Lakes gutter cleaning page explains how gutters protect walls.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia boards close the roof edge and carry gutters; soffit closes the overhang and vents the attic. Under trees, overflowing gutters often rot fascia, and damaged soffit invites squirrels and birds into the attic. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check whether a roof or gutter problem caused the damage. Our Medford Lakes roofing page covers roof work.

Repair or Replace?

Repair usually makes sense when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Replacement deserves discussion when:

• Several walls are damaged or brittle
• Moisture has damaged sheathing over large areas
• Your siding can no longer be matched
• Repairs keep failing

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate, we look at the siding and the wall behind damaged areas and explain the options.

Siding Installation and Replacement

On a full replacement, 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 contraction. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum, and review product, profile, and color options with you during the estimate.

Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Medford Lakes construction office, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Seasonal Care

• Spring: rinse mildew and pollen from shaded walls.
• Summer: trim branches back from walls and roof.
• Fall: clean gutters once the needles and leaves come down.
• Winter: keep snow piles away from siding.

Inspect from the ground only. For upper walls, call a professional.

Keeping Mildew in Check

Mildew is one of the most common complaints on shaded, lakeside lots. It grows where siding stays damp and does not get much sun. A gentle wash each spring with a soft brush, a garden hose, and a cleaner made for siding usually removes it. Trimming branches to let in light and air, keeping shrubs off the walls, and making sure gutters and downspouts are not spilling onto the siding all slow its return. If mildew keeps coming back in one spot quickly, it may be a sign of moisture behind the siding, which is worth a closer look.

From Summer Resort to Year-Round Homes

Because Medford Lakes began as a summer resort and became a year-round town later, some homes have been winterized, expanded, and updated over the decades. Additions, enclosed porches, and new windows each create seams in the exterior where siding, trim, and flashing must work together. When we look at a damaged wall, we pay attention to those seams, since they are often where water first finds its way in.

When to Call

• Siding is missing, cracked, or hanging
• Panels flap in the wind
• Mildew returns quickly in the same spot
• Trim or fascia is soft
• Gutters are pulling away
