Montgomery was once a township of large farms, and since World War II, housing developments have grown alongside farm stands and riding stables that remain. That mix means larger homes with complex rooflines, subdivisions aging together, homes next to open fields, and older farmhouses with barns. We serve the township from our main headquarters in East Rutherford and our regional location in Hopewell.

A Closer Look at Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement is a popular choice for larger homes, and it has its own repair and installation needs:

Clearances: fiber cement should not sit on roofs, decks, or soil. Manufacturers call for gaps above roof surfaces and grade so the boards do not wick water.
Cut edges: cut ends and edges need to be sealed or painted, and butt joints need flashing or proper sealing to keep water out.
Fastening: boards are face-nailed or blind-nailed in specific patterns; incorrect nailing can crack boards or let them loosen.
Paint: fiber cement holds paint well, but it does need repainting over time, and repairs must be painted to blend.
Impact cracks: fiber cement is rigid. A falling limb or hard impact can crack a board, and cracked boards should be replaced rather than patched.
Dust control: cutting fiber cement creates fine dust, so cutting is done with appropriate tools and dust control, away from open windows.

When we repair fiber cement, we replace the damaged board, seal or paint cut edges, check the flashing at joints, and paint to blend with the wall.

Settings Across the Township

Larger homes: multiple gables, dormers, and chimneys mean more roof-to-wall joints, each needing step flashing tucked behind the siding.

Subdivisions: where homes were built around the same time, siding tends to wear together, and discontinued colors complicate matching.

Next to fields: homes next to former farmland take more wind, especially on corners and gable ends.

Farmhouses and outbuildings: older farmhouses may have wood siding and masonry chimneys, and barns and garages need attention too.

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 sheltered wall to the visible repair.

Wood, Cedar, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar siding on farmhouses and barns splits, cups, and rots where moisture lingers. We replace damaged pieces, finish them to blend, 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 limbs or equipment, 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

Thunderstorms and nor’easters can strip siding on exposed walls, and limbs crack panels and boards. 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 at dormers and gables
Fiber cement or wood siding sitting on roofs or soil
Gutters clogged with leaves
Windows and doors without proper flashing
Cracked or missing boards and panels

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 Montgomery gutter cleaning page.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia carries the gutters; soffit encloses the overhang. Large homes have a lot of both, and wind 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 damage spans several walls, siding is brittle or repeatedly blows loose, 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, clearances, and room for movement. 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 Montgomery construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Older Farmhouses

Older farmhouses in the township often have wood siding and trim that have been painted many times, masonry chimneys, and additions built over the years as families grew. On these homes, the joints between original sections and additions, the trim around older windows, and the bottom of walls near the ground deserve the closest attention. We replace split or rotted boards with matching profile and exposure as closely as possible, prime and paint new wood, and fix the water source. Chimneys lose mortar and develop cracked crowns over time, and since we repair chimneys too, we can address the joint where masonry meets siding.

Hail and Wind on Open Land

Homes and barns next to open fields have little shelter. Hail can crack vinyl, dent aluminum, and chip paint on wood and fiber cement, usually on the walls facing the storm. Wind builds across open land and pulls at loose panel edges, corners, and gable ends. After a storm, compare the exposed walls with the sheltered ones from the ground; fresh damage usually stands out. Re-securing loose siding before storm season reduces the chance of losing more in the next one.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check exposed walls and outbuildings for wind damage.
Summer: touch up paint on fiber cement and wood trim where it has worn.
Fall: clean gutters on the house and outbuildings.
Winter: keep snow away from walls.

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

Local Considerations in Montgomery

Montgomery has about 23,700 residents on 32 square miles in southern Somerset County. It borders Franklin, Hillsborough, Rocky Hill, East Amwell, Hopewell Township, and Princeton, and part of the Sourland Mountain lies within its original Harlingen Tract. Larger homes, subdivisions, open land, and farm properties are the main factors for siding here.
