Paterson, the seat of Passaic County, is one of New Jersey’s largest cities, with nearly 160,000 residents on about eight and a half square miles. The 77-foot Great Falls of the Passaic River powered the mills that made it a silk-manufacturing center, and its neighborhoods range from the Eastside to Riverside and South Paterson. Much of the city’s housing is multi-family, and that is where this page starts.

Siding on Two- and Three-Family Houses

Many Paterson neighborhoods are filled with two- and three-family houses and small apartment buildings. These buildings have a few siding trouble spots in common.

Rear porches and stair halls

Stacked rear porches and enclosed stair halls are common on multi-family houses. Where porch roofs, floors, and ledgers attach to the main wall, flashing has to tuck behind the siding at every level. When it fails, water runs down inside the wall from one floor to the next, and the damage often shows up as soft siding or trim at the porch connections or stains inside a lower unit.

Flat sections over additions

Pitched main roofs are often combined with flat sections over rear additions, porches, and stair halls. Where a flat roof meets a sided wall, the membrane and flashing must turn up behind the siding. That joint is one of the most frequent leak points on these buildings.

Tall side walls in narrow gaps

Three-story side walls a few feet from the next building are hard to see and harder to reach. They take splashback and overflow from roofs on both sides and dry slowly. Siding damage there can go unnoticed for a long time.

Working with owners and tenants

We coordinate scheduling with owners so tenants are informed, keep entrances and stairs usable, and plan ladder and staging access in tight spaces.

Historic Homes in Eastside Park

The Eastside Park Historic District has about 1,000 homes in Tudor, Georgian colonial, Victorian, and other styles, many built for the city’s industrial and political leaders. Siding and trim on these houses are part of their character: wood clapboards and shingles, decorative trim, and stucco or masonry transitions. We repair original material where it is sound and replicate what cannot be saved. Because the district has historic designation, tell us about your home when you call so we can plan around any requirements.

Mill Buildings and Commercial Properties

Paterson’s large brick mill buildings and commercial storefronts with apartments above are mostly masonry, but many have sided additions, upper floors, or rear walls. Transitions between siding and brick, signs fastened through siding, and flat roofs meeting sided walls are the usual trouble spots. We repair commercial siding and plan work around businesses and residents.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Damaged vinyl panels can usually be replaced individually. 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 are refastened.

Matching has honest limits. Vinyl fades and colors and profiles are discontinued, so a new panel may not exactly match a weathered wall. We find the closest available match and explain options, like moving original panels from a hidden wall.

Wood, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

• Wood and cedar: we replace split or rotted pieces, prime all sides, and paint to blend.
• Fiber cement: cracked boards are replaced, joints flashed, and new boards painted.
• Aluminum: dented or loose sections are replaced where profiles can be matched.

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, age, or cold brittleness.
• Warped siding: ripples from tight nailing or heat.
• Missing siding: pieces torn off by wind.
• Damaged trim: rotted porch connections, sills, and corner boards.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Strong storms can strip loose siding from tall walls. After a storm, walk around your building and look from the ground for missing, cracked, or hanging pieces, including down side yards. Photograph damage before anything is moved. Do not climb ladders to inspect high walls.

If you file an insurance claim, your insurer decides what is covered. We can document the damage, explain which repairs protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Behind Siding

Siding is a rain screen. A weather-resistive barrier and flashing behind it carry incidental water out. Problems begin when water gets in faster than it drains or dries. Common sources:

• Porch ledgers and stair hall roofs meeting walls
• Flat-roof-to-wall joints
• Overflowing gutters on tall buildings
• Windows and doors without proper flashing
• Splashback in narrow gaps

Signs include stains, peeling paint, swelling, soft spots, and musty smells near an outside wall. Because we also handle roofing and gutters, we look at what is above a damaged wall. Our Paterson gutter cleaning page explains more.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit closes the underside of the roof overhang, and fascia carries the gutters. On tall multi-family buildings, rotted fascia and sagging gutters send water down three stories of siding. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check whether the roof edge or gutters caused the damage.

Repair or Replace?

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

• Several walls are damaged
• Siding is brittle and cracks or loosens repeatedly
• Moisture damage behind the siding is widespread
• Matching pieces are unavailable
• Other exterior work is planned

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Paterson, we look at the siding and the wall behind it and explain your options.

Siding Installation and Replacement

For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash every opening, porch connection, and roof-to-wall joint, and fasten new siding with room for expansion. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and go over product, profile, and color options with you at the estimate.

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

For Landlords: Keeping Repairs Predictable

On a building with several units, siding problems are easier to manage when they are caught on a schedule rather than after a tenant complaint. A walk around the building each spring and fall, plus after major storms, catches most issues early: loose panels on tall walls, soft trim at porch connections, stains below gutters, and gaps around vents and utility lines. When something needs attention, we provide photos and a written scope that separates urgent items, such as missing siding or open flashing, from items that can be planned for later. That makes budgeting easier and keeps small problems from reaching tenants’ units.

Near the River and the Falls

Neighborhoods along the Passaic River, including Riverside, can see more moisture around the base of walls after heavy rain, and walls facing the open river corridor may take stronger wind. Keeping downspouts discharging away from the building and soil below the bottom course helps.

Seasonal Siding Care

• Spring: look at porch connections and stair halls for new stains.
• Summer: check side yards for loose or missing siding.
• Fall: clean gutters on all roof levels.
• Winter: keep snow shoveled off porches away from walls.

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

Signs to Call a Siding Contractor

1. Cracked, missing, or hanging siding
2. Soft siding at porch or stair hall connections
3. Stains in lower units below porches
4. Stains near flat roof joints
5. Rotted trim on historic homes
6. Gutters overflowing onto tall walls
