Bernardsville is Somerset County’s northernmost borough, in the heart of the Somerset Hills. After the Civil War, wealthy New Yorkers built grand estates on the mountain, and at about 680 feet, higher parts of the borough see cooler temperatures and more snow. Large homes with complex rooflines, carriage houses and other outbuildings, and an early twentieth-century historic neighborhood all shape siding work here. We serve the borough from our main headquarters in East Rutherford and our regional location in Hackettstown.

Protecting Grounds and Hardscape During Siding Work

On properties with landscaped grounds, protecting what surrounds the house is part of doing the job right:

Plantings: shrubs and beds against the house are tied back or covered where possible, and ladders are placed to avoid crushing them.
Lawns: delivery routes and staging areas are planned to keep heavy loads off soft turf, and ground protection is used where equipment must cross grass.
Stone walks, patios, and driveways: materials and debris are kept off finished surfaces, and dumpsters are placed where they will not damage pavers or stone.
Daily cleanup: nails and scraps are collected each day, with a magnet sweep over work areas.
Access: on long driveways, deliveries are scheduled so the drive stays usable.

We walk the property with you before larger projects and agree on staging, routes, and protected areas.

Large Homes, Estates, and Outbuildings

Large homes often have many roof planes, long valleys, dormers, and several chimneys, and every roof-to-wall joint needs step flashing tucked behind the siding. Leaks at these joints can appear far from their source, so we trace the water path before recommending repairs. Carriage houses, barns, garages, and pool houses have siding too, and we can look at them during the same visit.

The Olcott Avenue Neighborhood and Older Homes

The Olcott Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2009, is an early twentieth-century neighborhood connecting downtown, Little Italy, and the Mountain Colony. Older homes there and elsewhere in the borough may have wood siding and trim, porches, and masonry chimneys. We replace damaged pieces with matching profiles as closely as possible and fix the moisture source. If your home is in a historic district, check with the borough about any requirements before changing visible exterior materials.

Snow and Ice on Higher Ground

Higher elevations bring more snow and ice dams. Ice at the eaves can push meltwater behind fascia and down walls, snow piled against the house keeps the lowest courses wet, and cold vinyl cracks more easily from impacts. Keep gutters clear before winter and push snow away from walls rather than against them.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl siding panels interlock and hang from nails driven loosely through slotted holes, so they can move with temperature. A damaged panel can be unlocked from the course below, removed, and replaced with a new one locked into place.

Vinyl fades and colors and profiles get discontinued, so a new panel may not exactly match. We find the closest match and can move an original panel from a hidden wall to the visible repair.

Fiber Cement, Wood and Cedar, Aluminum

Fiber cement resists rot and holds paint, but can crack from impact. We replace damaged boards and paint to blend.

Wood and cedar siding and shingles split, cup, and rot where moisture lingers. We replace damaged pieces and fix the cause.

Aluminum dents and chalks. We replace damaged panels when a matching profile can be found and tell you upfront if not.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

Loose: failed fasteners, torn hems, or panels unlocked by wind.
Cracked or split: impacts, cold-weather brittleness, or dried-out wood.
Warped: vinyl nailed too tight, or wood cupping from moisture.
Missing: wind removing a weak piece.
Trim and corners: rot, split J-channel, loose corner posts.

Cover missing siding quickly to protect the wall.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Thunderstorms, nor’easters, and winter storms can strip siding at corners and gables and bring down limbs. After a storm, walk around the house and outbuildings, look from the ground, photograph damage before cleanup, and keep pieces that came off.

If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides coverage. We can document the damage and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Intrusion

Some water always gets past siding, and the weather-resistive barrier and flashing beneath carry it out. When those layers fail, the wall stays wet. Common sources:

Missing step or kick-out flashing on complex rooflines
Ice dams pushing meltwater behind fascia
Gutters clogged with leaves
Worn chimney flashing
Windows and doors without proper flashing

Signs include streaks, peeling paint, swollen trim, soft spots, and musty smells indoors. We also handle gutters and can fix drainage at the same time. See our Bernardsville gutter cleaning page.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia carries the gutters; soffit encloses the overhang. Large homes have a lot of both, and ice and overflowing gutters take their toll. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check gutters and the roof edge for the cause.

Repair or Siding Replacement?

Repair is usually right when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Replacement is worth considering when rot or brittleness is widespread, moisture damage is extensive, or matching is not possible. 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 our recommendation.

Siding Installation

For a full siding installation, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, and every roof-to-wall joint, and install new siding with correct fastening and room for expansion and contraction. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and review product, profile, and color options at the estimate.

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

Pool Houses and Damp Locations

Pool houses and structures near pools see splashing water, humidity, and wet feet tracking across decks, which is hard on wood trim and the bottom courses of siding. Siding should stop above pool decks and patios so it is not sitting in water, and trim at the base of walls benefits from rot-resistant materials or a well-maintained finish. Doors and windows on these buildings need head flashing like any other opening. When we repair siding on a pool house or cabana, we pay particular attention to the bottom of the wall and the trim around openings.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check walls and outbuildings for winter damage.
Summer: touch up wood trim and siding finishes.
Fall: clean gutters on the house and outbuildings.
Winter: keep snow away from walls and watch for ice at the eaves.

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

Local Considerations in Bernardsville

Bernardsville has about 7,900 residents on nearly thirteen square miles. The Gladstone Branch railroad reached the borough in 1872, making commuting possible. It borders Bernards, Far Hills, Peapack-Gladstone, Harding, Mendham Borough, and Mendham Township. Estates and large homes, outbuildings, older neighborhoods, and snow on higher ground are the main factors for siding here.
