What a Full Re-Side Involves Around the House

If you are planning a siding replacement, it helps to know what else on the exterior is affected, so nothing comes as a surprise:

  • Light fixtures, outlets, and hose bibs are removed and reinstalled, ideally on mounting blocks made for siding so the panels are not pinned and the openings are sealed.
  • Gutters and downspouts may need to come down for fascia work and go back up, which is a good time to correct sizing or add extensions.
  • Shutters, house numbers, and mailboxes on the wall are removed and reattached.
  • Window and door trim is either replaced or wrapped, and each opening is flashed into the new barrier.
  • Utility meters and cables are worked around, and the siding is trimmed neatly around them.
  • Landscaping next to the house is protected, and plantings that touch the wall may need trimming.

Our written scope lists these items so you know exactly what will be handled during the project.

Bridgewater’s Sections

Martinsville and the Watchung hills: homes on hilly, wooded lots face more wind and tree debris. Larger homes with complex roofs have more roof-to-wall joints to flash. Loose panels at corners and gables, limb damage, and clogged gutters are the usual issues.

Older neighborhoods: in Bradley Gardens and parts of Finderne, homes may have porch roofs where low-slope sections meet the house, masonry chimneys, and siding repaired over many years. Porch joints and chimney flashing deserve close attention.

Subdivisions: where homes were built around the same time, siding tends to wear on a similar schedule, and discontinued colors can make matching harder.

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. We also correct buckling from tight nailing.

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 splits, cups, and rots 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: impacts, especially in cold weather.
  • Warped or buckled: nailing that prevents movement, or fixtures fastened through the panel.
  • Missing: wind lifting a weak course.
  • Trim and corners: split J-channel, loose corner posts, rotted trim.

Cover missing siding quickly to protect the wall.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Thunderstorms and nor’easters can strip siding at corners and gables, especially in the hills, and limbs crack panels and bend trim. After a storm, look from the ground, photograph damage before cleanup, and keep any 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:

  1. Missing kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall joints
  2. Porch roof joints without flashing or clearance
  3. Gutters clogged with leaves
  4. Windows and doors without proper flashing
  5. Unsealed openings around fixtures, vents, and pipes

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 Bridgewater gutter cleaning page.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia carries the gutters; soffit encloses the overhang. When fascia rots, gutters sag. When soffit is damaged, pests get in. 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 damage spans several walls, siding is brittle, moisture damage is widespread, 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 roof-to-wall joints, 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 Bridgewater construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Mounting Things on Siding

Hanging items directly on siding is a common cause of damage. Screws driven through vinyl pin the panel so it cannot move, which leads to buckling, and every hole is a potential leak. For lights, outlets, hose bibs, satellite brackets, and similar items, mounting blocks designed for siding provide a flat, sealed surface fastened to the wall behind. For lightweight decorations, clips that hook under the panel lap avoid making holes at all. If something was mounted through your siding and the area is now wavy or stained, that is worth a look.

Homes Near the Raritan River

The Raritan River forms much of Bridgewater’s boundary, and homes in lower areas near it benefit from good water management. Properly sized gutters, downspouts that discharge away from the foundation, and soil that slopes away from the house keep the bottom of the siding from staying wet. Siding and trim should sit a few inches above soil and mulch. If the lowest courses are swollen, stained, or growing mildew, drainage is the first thing to check.

Commercial and Office Buildings

Bridgewater is a long-standing pharmaceutical hub with many office, retail, and industrial buildings. Most have large flat roofs, but some smaller commercial buildings and mixed-use properties have sided walls or additions. We repair siding, trim, soffit, and fascia on those buildings and plan work around business hours.

Seasonal Siding Care

  • Spring: look for winter cracks and wind damage.
  • Summer: watch for waves in vinyl around mounted fixtures.
  • Fall: clean gutters after leaves drop.
  • Winter: keep snow piles away from siding.

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

Local Considerations in Bridgewater

Bridgewater is Somerset County’s second-most populous municipality, with about 46,000 residents on 32 square miles. Finderne is home to TD Bank Ballpark and the Somerset Patriots, and Green Knoll is home to Bridgewater Commons. The township borders thirteen municipalities, including Branchburg, Bedminster, Bernards, Warren, Bound Brook, Somerville, and Raritan, with the Raritan River forming much of its boundary. Hilly, wooded lots, older neighborhoods, and subdivisions are the main factors for siding here.

Signs to Call a Siding Contractor

  • Cracked, loose, or missing siding
  • Waves around fixtures mounted through the siding
  • Stains above porch roofs or near chimneys
  • Limb damage on wooded lots
  • Soft trim or rotted fascia
  • Gutters overflowing
