The Raritan and Millstone Rivers meet in Manville’s northeast corner, and flooding is a recurring concern: Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Hurricane Ida in 2021, which pushed the Raritan to a record level, caused severe damage. The heavy rain and wind that come with tropical storms also take a toll on siding, and many of the borough’s roughly 4,300 homes are long established. We serve Manville from our main headquarters in East Rutherford and our regional location in Flemington.

After a Major Storm: Putting Repairs in Order

When a big storm damages a house, it can be hard to know where to start. A sensible order for the exterior, as general guidance:

Safety first. Stay clear of downed wires and damaged structures. Look from the ground only.
Document everything. Photograph every side of the house before cleanup, and note the date. Keep pieces of siding and trim that came off.
Stop water from above. Roof damage and loose flashing come first, since a leaking roof can soak the walls below.
Close openings in the walls. Missing siding and torn house wrap should be covered or repaired next.
Check the lower walls. If water stood against the house, the materials behind the lowest courses may still be wet. Opening a few bottom courses shows their condition.
Restore gutters and drainage. Damaged gutters and downspouts should be fixed so the next rain does not add to the problem.
Then the finish work. Matching, trim details, and cosmetic repairs can follow once the house is weathertight.

Your insurer decides what is covered. We can document what we find, explain the repairs needed, and handle roof, gutter, and siding work together so the sequence makes sense.

Older Homes

Long-standing homes may have porch roofs where low-slope sections meet the house wall, masonry chimneys beside sided walls, and siding that has been repaired over many years. Porch roof joints need flashing turned up behind the siding and a gap between siding and roof surface. When we open a damaged area on an older wall, we check the sheathing and barrier and close it up properly.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl siding panels interlock and hang from nails driven loosely through slotted holes, so they can move with temperature. A damaged or blown-off panel is replaced by unlocking the course above, installing a new panel with correct nailing, and relocking.

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, especially low on the wall. 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 from wind-blown debris, especially in cold weather.
Warped or buckled: nailing that prevents movement.
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

Tropical storms and nor’easters bring heavy rain and wind together. Wind strips siding at corners and gables, and rain driven sideways tests every lap and opening. After a storm, follow the steps above, look from the ground, 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:

Overflowing gutters and downspouts discharging at the foundation
Porch roof joints without flashing or clearance
Missing kick-out flashing
Windows and doors without proper flashing
Siding and trim too close to soil or paving

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 Manville gutter cleaning page.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia carries the gutters; soffit encloses the overhang. Wind can pull soffit loose, and rotted fascia lets gutters sag. 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, moisture damage behind the siding is widespread, siding is brittle, 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, room for expansion, and proper clearance above grade. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and review product, profile, and color options at the estimate, including how each handles moisture low on the wall.

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

Close Quarters

On smaller lots, side walls facing a neighbor are harder to see and reach. We place ladders and staging carefully, protect fences and plantings, keep debris on your property, and clean up daily.

Getting Ready Before Storm Season

Before the stormy months, walk around the house and look for loose panels, corner posts pulling away, and trim coming loose, and have them re-secured. Clean gutters and confirm downspouts are attached and extended. Trim branches that could fall onto the house, and secure outdoor items that wind can throw against walls. These steps remove easy starting points for storm damage.

Rebuilding the Bottom of a Wall

When the lowest part of a wall has been soaked, the repair often goes beyond the siding. The bottom courses are removed, wet insulation and damaged sheathing are assessed, and rotted sill trim or sheathing is replaced once the wall has dried. A new weather-resistive barrier is lapped over the starter area so water drains out, the starter strip is replaced, and siding is reinstalled with a gap above grade. Where possible, the ground or paving next to the wall is adjusted so water flows away. This kind of repair restores the part of the wall most exposed to water rather than just covering it.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check the bottom of walls for swelling or rot.
Summer: re-secure loose panels before storm season.
Fall: clean gutters and confirm downspout extensions.
Winter: keep snow piles away from siding.

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

Local Considerations in Manville

Manville has about 11,000 residents on two and a half square miles and borders Bridgewater, Franklin, and Hillsborough. Formed in 1929, it took its name from the Johns-Manville Corporation, which ran a large plant there for decades. River flooding, tropical storm wind and rain, long-established homes, and smaller lots are the main factors for siding here.

Signs to Call a Siding Contractor

Musty smells along exterior walls indoors
Stains above porch roofs
Soft trim or rotted fascia
