Old Houses, Many Hands

Nearly the whole borough falls within the Pemberton Historic District, a 94-acre district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 with about 180 contributing buildings, including the Morris Mansion and Mill. Pemberton Borough is a compact place of older houses, many with steep roofs, dormers, porches, brick chimneys, and additions built over generations.

A house that has been lived in and worked on by many owners tends to tell its story when the siding comes off: an original clapboard wall, a later layer of siding, patched sheathing, a window opening that was moved, flashing improvised decades ago. We take that in stride. We show you what we find, explain what matters for keeping the wall dry, and agree on the approach before going further.

Setting Priorities on an Older House

Older homes rarely need everything at once, and it helps to separate what is urgent from what can wait:

Water getting in now. Open walls, failed flashing at dormers and porch roofs, and gutters that dump onto siding come first.
Rot and loose material. Soft boards, failing trim, and loose siding that wind can work free come next.
Paint and caulk. Keeping finishes and trim joints sound protects the wood you already have.
Appearance. Matching, fading, and replacing later siding that does not suit the house can be planned over time.

We use the same thinking when we write your estimate, so you can tackle the important items first.

Clapboard Exposure and Matching

On wood clapboard, the exposure, or reveal, is the visible height of each board. Older houses often have exposures that differ from today’s stock boards, and sometimes the exposure changes from one wall or addition to another. Matching exposure and board thickness is what makes a repair disappear. When stock material will not match, boards can be milled or ripped to size. We also look at nail patterns and corner details so new work blends with the old.

Vinyl and Aluminum on Older Homes

Some homes in the borough have vinyl or aluminum installed over original wood. Vinyl panels can be unlocked and replaced individually; damaged aluminum sections can be swapped. Vinyl fades and some colors and profiles are discontinued, so a new panel may not match a weathered wall exactly; we show you the closest available match and options first. If water has been trapped between later siding and the original wood, we show you what we find and discuss the choices.

Fiber Cement

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

Recognizing Siding Problems

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

Split, cupped, or missing clapboards and shingles
Peeling paint that returns in the same places
Soft wood at sills, corner boards, and the bottom course
Stains below dormers, porch roofs, and chimneys
Loose or cracked vinyl or dented aluminum

Storm and Wind Damage

Summer thunderstorms and nor’easters can lift loose siding and boards and bring down limbs from mature trees. After a storm, check your walls from the ground and photograph damage before cleanup. Keep pieces that came off; on older homes they are valuable for matching. Do not climb ladders or go onto the roof.

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.

Keeping Water Out of Older Walls

Older walls may have little or no weather-resistive barrier, so paint, caulk at trim joints, and flashing do most of the work. Steep roofs, dormers, porches, and chimneys create many roof-to-wall joints. We check:

Step and kick-out flashing at dormers and porch roofs
Flashing where chimneys meet walls and roofs
Drip caps above windows and doors
Gutters that overflow onto cornices and walls
The bottom course and its clearance above soil and walks

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

Soffit, Fascia, and Cornice Trim

Fascia carries gutters, soffits close the eaves, and on older houses, cornices and moldings finish the roof edge. We repair and replace these pieces, matching profiles as closely as practical, and check whether a gutter or roof problem caused the damage. Our Pemberton Borough roofing page covers roof repairs.

Repair or Replace?

On most homes here, careful repair is the right first step. Replacement is worth discussing when rot or damage is widespread, sheathing is damaged over large areas, or later vinyl or aluminum cannot be matched and is failing. We do not recommend either without seeing the house. At a free siding estimate, we look at the siding and the wall behind damaged areas and explain the options.

Siding Replacement

When replacement is the answer, we remove the old siding, repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, dormers, and roof-to-wall joints, and install new siding with appropriate fastening. We install wood and cedar, fiber cement, vinyl, and aluminum, and review product, profile, and color options with you during the estimate.

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

Seasonal Care

Spring: look for split boards and peeling paint after winter.
Summer: keep shrubs trimmed so walls can dry.
Fall: clean gutters after leaves drop.
Winter: keep snow piles off the bottom course.

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

Paint, Lead, and Safe Work

Older wood siding often carries many layers of paint, and homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint in those layers. If a repair will disturb painted surfaces, we discuss containment and cleanup at the estimate, with extra care if young children live in or visit the home.

Porches on Older Homes

Many older houses in the borough have porches, and porches are where wood takes some of its hardest wear. Porch floors and steps hold water, column bases wick it up, and the joint where a porch roof meets the main wall needs flashing to keep water out of the house. Ceiling boards and trim under a porch roof can rot when gutters above them overflow. When we repair siding near a porch, we check these areas and let you know if something needs attention, so a new section of siding is not undermined by a leak a few feet away.

Additions Built Over Generations

Additions on older houses were often built decades apart, each with the methods of its day. The joints where an addition meets the original house, where a newer roof ties into an older wall, and where siding of one age meets another are common entry points for water. We look closely at those seams during any repair and explain what we find.
