Spring Lake developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a resort for New York and Philadelphia society, and its landmark cottages, including the Audenried Cottage and the Martin Maloney Cottage, reflect that era. Today the borough’s roughly 2,100 homes include many used seasonally, with a large share vacant at census time. Older construction, ocean weather, and part-time occupancy all affect siding care here. We serve Spring Lake from our regional location in Manasquan.

Gilded Age Cottages and Older Homes
Resort-era houses were built to impress, with porches, towers, bays, dormers, and elaborate trim. Their walls may combine clapboard, decorative shingles, and ornament, and every place a porch roof, tower, or dormer meets the main wall depends on flashing to keep water out. On these homes, we replace only damaged pieces, match profiles, exposures, and shingle patterns, and protect ornament while we work. Rotted trim is repaired or replaced in sections and finished to blend.
When a wall is opened, we check the sheathing and whatever barrier exists behind it, since older walls may have little modern protection, and correct flashing at nearby joints before closing it up.
Beachfront Wind and Salt
Homes near the Atlantic take the brunt of nor’easters and coastal storms. Wind lifts loose bottom courses, corners, and soffit panels and can strip several courses at once; salt corrodes ordinary fasteners and flashing. On repairs, we use corrosion-resistant metals, refasten the courses and trim around any wind damage, and check the flashing at openings on wind-exposed walls.
Around the Lake
Homes near Spring Lake itself may see more shade and moisture, keeping walls damp longer. That can encourage mildew on vinyl and rot in wood trim and bottom courses. Clear gutters, trimmed plantings, and downspouts that discharge away from the house help walls dry.
Seasonal Homes
With many homes used part of the year, a loose shingle or slow leak behind the siding can go unnoticed for months. Check the exterior at the start and end of each season, have a caretaker look after major storms, clean gutters before closing the house, and schedule repairs promptly. We can coordinate access, photograph damage and finished work, and send a written estimate while you are away.

Wood and Cedar Siding
On older homes, wood is often worth repairing. Split, cupped, or rotted pieces are cut out, replaced with matching exposure, and primed or sealed on all sides before finishing. Bottom courses, sills, and areas below roof edges get the closest attention.
Vinyl, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum
Where vinyl is installed, damaged panels are replaced individually and over-tight panels refastened; faded or discontinued vinyl may not match exactly, and we explain the closest options first. Fiber cement boards are replaced and painted with corrosion-resistant fasteners. Aluminum panels are replaced where matching profiles are available.
Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding
General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.
- Loose: boards, shingles, or panels that have pulled away.
- Cracked or split: repeated wetting and drying on wood; impact on vinyl.
- Cupped or warped: moisture behind wood; tight nailing or heat on vinyl.
- Missing: pieces stripped by wind, exposing what is underneath.
- Failing trim: gaps at corners, casings, and ornament that let wind-driven rain in.
Storm Damaged Siding Repair
After a nor’easter or coastal storm, look at your home from the ground, starting with ocean-facing walls, towers, and gables. Photograph damage before cleanup, or ask a caretaker to if you are away.
If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides coverage. We can document the damage, explain the repairs needed to protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.
Moisture Behind Siding
Older walls depend heavily on flashing and paint to keep bulk water out. Watch for:
- Porch roofs, towers, and dormers without sound flashing
- Gutters overflowing onto cornices and porch trim
- Window sills and casings letting water into the wall
- Peeling paint leaving wood exposed
Signs include paint that keeps peeling, soft wood, stains below roof edges, and swelling around windows. We check the roof edge and gutters above any damaged wall. See our gutter cleaning in Spring Lake page for more on drainage.
Soffit, Fascia, and Cornices
On resort-era homes, cornices and brackets are part of the architecture. We repair rotted fascia, soffit, frieze boards, and cornice sections, match profiles, and look for the gutter or roof edge problem behind the damage.
Repair or Siding Replacement?
On older homes, repair is usually the first choice. Replacement becomes worth considering when storm damage covers several walls, a later siding layer is failing, fasteners and flashing have corroded broadly, moisture damage is extensive, or matching material is unavailable. We do not decide from a photo; at a free siding estimate in Spring Lake, we look at the house and explain our recommendation.
Siding Installation and Full Replacement
For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, porch roofs, towers, and dormers, and fasten new siding with corrosion-resistant fasteners and room for expansion. We install wood and cedar, fiber cement, vinyl, and aluminum and review product, profile, and color options at the estimate, with attention to what suits the house.
Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Spring Lake construction office before major exterior work begins, and we can discuss it at your estimate.
Paint and Finish on Old Wood
Paint and stain are the first line of defense for wood siding at the shore. When the finish cracks, salt-laden moisture soaks in, and the wood swells, splits, and eventually rots, often starting at bottom courses, sills, and board ends. We prime or seal replacement pieces on all sides, including cut ends, before installation and recommend finishing them promptly. If one section keeps failing while the rest of the house holds up, there is usually moisture coming from behind, and we look for it before suggesting another coat.
Wind Repairs That Hold
When wind strips siding from an exposed wall, the panels that blew off are only part of the problem. The courses around them may have unhooked without falling, the starter strip may have lost its grip, and corner posts may be pulling away. We check and refasten all of those details so the repaired wall stands up to the next nor’easter rather than losing the same pieces again.
Protecting Porches and Grounds
Resort-era homes often have wide porches, mature plantings, and walkways close to the walls. We plan ladder and staging placement around them, protect porch floors and railings, contain debris, and clean up daily.
Seasonal Siding Care
- Spring: check every elevation before the summer season.
- Summer: rinse salt off ocean-facing walls; repaint repaired wood.
- Fall: clean gutters and inspect siding before closing a seasonal home.
- Winter: have someone check the exterior after storms.
Inspect from the ground only; leave towers, gables, and upper walls to a professional.
