Here, about 1,800 homes sit on rural land that rises from the reservoir basin onto the Hunterdon Plateau and the Musconetcong Ridge. Older farmhouses in the crossroads settlements stand alongside later subdivisions, and open fields and water let wind build before it reaches a house. We repair siding for those conditions and fix what caused the damage.

Siding services: siding repair, storm and wind damage repair, siding replacement and installation for vinyl, fiber cement, wood/cedar, and aluminum siding, plus soffit, fascia, and trim repair. Free siding estimates.

Reservoir, Plateau, and Ridge

Near Spruce Run Reservoir. Open water and wide fields let wind build up before it reaches a house. On open ground, corners, gable ends, and any loose panel take the brunt, and wind-driven rain gets pushed into laps and joints.

On the plateau and ridge. Higher ground in the southwest and northwest of the township is more exposed to storms and can hold snow longer than sheltered valley lots. Snow piles against walls, ice dams at the eaves, and wind-driven rain all affect siding there.

Hamlets and farmhouses. In the older crossroads settlements, houses can be considerably older than the subdivisions built later, with board sheathing and older wall construction behind the siding.

Later subdivisions. Newer homes often have roof-to-wall intersections at garages, porches, and additions where kick-out flashing is easy to miss.

Siding Repair Services in Union Township

Replacing cracked, broken, or missing siding panels and boards
Re-securing loose courses on wind-exposed walls
Replacing J-channel around windows, doors, and penetrations
Repairing or replacing corner posts
Repairing window and door trim, frieze boards, and rake trim
Repairing soffit and fascia
Repairing house wrap and flashing behind damaged areas

Every repair starts with the cause. A wall on open ground that keeps losing siding needs fastening corrected, not just new panels.

Fastening for Open, Windy Sites

On homes exposed to wind across fields and water, how siding is attached makes all the difference:

Vinyl panels must lock fully into the course below and be nailed through the center of the slots into solid backing, at proper spacing
Nails must still be left slightly loose so panels can expand and contract
Starter strips at the bottom of the wall must be secure, since every course above depends on them
Corner posts and J-channel must be fastened so wind cannot work them loose

When we repair a wind-damaged wall, we check the surrounding courses and correct fastening where needed.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl panels lock into the course below and hang from slotted nailing hems at the top. A damaged course can be unlocked with a zip tool, unfastened, and replaced while the rest of the wall stays in place. Over-tight nailing causes rippling in summer; cold vinyl is brittle and cracks more easily from winter impacts.

On matching: vinyl fades with sun exposure, and open sites fade faster. Older colors and profiles are sometimes discontinued. A new panel may not match exactly. We look for the closest match and discuss options such as moving original panels from a less visible wall.

Wood, Cedar, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar: boards and shingles on older farmhouses can split, cup, or rot from wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles. Peeling paint over sound wood may need only refinishing; soft wood needs replacement. We replace damaged pieces, prime and finish them, and find the moisture source.

Fiber cement: stays put once properly fastened but can crack from impact. We replace damaged boards, treat joints, and paint to blend.

Aluminum: dents from hail and debris and can loosen in wind. Damaged sections can be replaced where profiles can be matched.

Recognizing Siding Problems (General Homeowner Information)

General descriptions only. We confirm causes on site.

Loose siding: panels that move, rattle, or separate
Cracked siding: impact, cold-weather brittleness, or age
Warped or buckled siding: waves in vinyl, cupping in wood
Missing siding: exposed wrap or sheathing after wind
Damaged trim and corners: loose posts, split channel, soft trim

Older Farmhouses and Hamlet Homes

With older homes, we expect to find board sheathing and walls that have been patched or re-sided over the years. For siding repair, we check what lies beneath the current siding, make sure fasteners reach solid wood, flash joints where siding meets masonry chimneys, and look at window and door openings that may lack modern flashing.

Storm and Wind Damage

Summer thunderstorms and nor’easters bring strong gusts across the reservoir and fields. After a storm:

Walk around and look at each wall from the ground
Note missing, cracked, or hanging siding and trim
Photograph damage before anything is moved
Stay off ladders

If you file an insurance claim, your insurer decides coverage. We can document the damage and provide a written estimate for the storm damaged siding repair.

Snow and Ice on Higher Ground

Snow lingers longer on the plateau and ridge. Ice dams can push meltwater behind fascia and down behind siding, and drifts can sit against walls for weeks. When we repair winter damage, we look at the roof edge too. Our Union Township roofing page covers ice dams and wind-resistant roofing.

Moisture Intrusion

Siding lets some water past, and the weather-resistive barrier (WRB) and flashing drain it away. Moisture builds up when:

Wind-driven rain gets past damaged J-channel or trim
Kick-out flashing is missing at roof-to-wall intersections
Gutters overflow onto walls
Windows and doors lack proper flashing
House wrap is torn, missing, or absent on older walls
Ice dams push meltwater behind fascia

Signs include stains, peeling paint, swollen trim, and damp spots inside. Since we also handle roofing and gutters, we trace water to its source. See our Union Township gutter cleaning page for more.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit and fascia close in the roof overhang and carry the gutters. Wind can pull loose soffit panels on open sites, and ice dams rot fascia. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check the roof edge and gutters for the cause.

Repair or Replacement?

Repair usually makes sense when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Siding replacement is worth considering when:

Damage covers several walls
Siding is brittle, faded, or repeatedly loose
Moisture damage appears behind siding in multiple areas
Matching material is unavailable
You are planning other exterior work

We do not decide from a photo. During a free siding estimate in Union Township, we look at the siding and the wall behind damaged areas and explain our recommendation.

Siding Installation and Full Replacement

For full siding replacement, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, and roof-to-wall intersections, and install new siding with fastening suited to open, windy sites and room for expansion. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum and review product, profile, and color options with you at the estimate.

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

Your Free Estimate

We walk the property, look at the damaged area and the walls around it, note wind exposure, and check trim, soffit, gutters, and the roof edge. Where useful, we lift a panel to see the house wrap and sheathing. Then we explain what we found and provide a written scope that covers the repair, the likely cause, and any related work.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check every wall for winter and wind damage.
Summer: watch for ripples on sunny walls and keep grills away from vinyl.
Fall: clean gutters before snow arrives.
Winter: keep drifts off the siding and watch for ice at the eaves.

Inspect from the ground. Leave ladders and upper walls to a professional.

When to Call

Cracked panels after winter

Soft or peeling trim on an older farmhouse
