What a Siding Project Looks Like, Step by Step

1. The estimate

We start by listening: what you noticed, when it started, and what you want to accomplish. Then we walk the house, look at the damaged area and the siding around it, check the roof edge, gutters, and flashing above, and where it helps, lift a panel to see the wrap and sheathing behind it. You get a plain explanation of what we found, an honest conversation about color matching, and a written scope.

2. Choosing materials

For repairs, we look for the closest available match to your existing siding. For replacement, we go over product, profile, and color options: vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, or aluminum, and how each looks with your roof and trim. Permit requirements depend on scope; check with the Waldwick construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

3. Preparing the site

On work day, we protect what is around the wall: shrubs and flower beds, walkways, air conditioning units, and anything stored against the house. We set ladders and staging so they are stable and out of the way of doors and driveways as much as possible. If outdoor fixtures, house numbers, or hose reels need to come off the wall, we take care of that.

4. Removal and what is underneath

We remove damaged or old siding carefully. Once the wall is open, we check the weather-resistive barrier and sheathing. If we find soft or rotted sheathing, missing wrap, or failed flashing, we show you and explain what is needed before covering it back up.

5. Barrier and flashing

We patch or install the weather-resistive barrier, lapped so water runs outward and down, and flash windows, doors, and roof-to-wall joints, including kick-out flashing where a roof edge ends against a wall.

6. Siding and trim

New siding goes on with correct fastening and expansion gaps, every course locked, and trim cut cleanly around windows, doors, and fixtures. Fixtures and accessories go back on with proper mounting blocks.

7. Cleanup and walkthrough

We pick up debris and nails, check the work with you, and point out anything you should keep an eye on.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Damaged vinyl panels can usually be replaced individually. We unlock the panel from the course below, remove the nails, and lock in a replacement fastened loosely so it can expand and contract. Loose panels are re-hung, and buckled sections are refastened.

Matching has honest limits. Vinyl fades and colors and profiles are discontinued, so a new panel may not exactly match a weathered wall. We find the closest available match and explain options, like moving original panels from a hidden wall.

Wood, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar: we replace split or rotted pieces, prime all sides, and paint or stain to blend.
Fiber cement: cracked boards are replaced, joints flashed, and new boards painted.
Aluminum: dented or loose sections are replaced where profiles can be matched.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm the cause on site.

Loose siding: panels that rattle, bow, or have come unlocked.
Cracked siding: impact, age, or cold brittleness.
Warped siding: ripples from tight nailing or heat.
Missing siding: pieces torn off by wind.
Damaged trim: split corners, bent J-channel, rotted sills.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Strong storms can strip loose siding and send branches into walls. After a storm, walk around your house and look from the ground for missing, cracked, or hanging pieces. Photograph damage before anything is moved. Do not climb ladders to inspect high walls.

If you file an insurance claim, your insurer decides what is covered. We can document the damage, explain which repairs protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Near the Brook

The Ho-Ho-Kus Brook runs south through the center of Waldwick. Homes near the brook and in lower spots can see more moisture at the base of their walls after heavy rain. Keeping downspouts discharging away from the house, soil and mulch below the bottom course, and gutters flowing all help those walls stay dry.

Moisture Behind Siding

Siding is a rain screen. A weather-resistive barrier and flashing behind it carry incidental water out. Problems begin when water gets in faster than it drains or dries. Common sources:

Missing kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall joints
Overflowing gutters
Windows and doors without proper flashing
Cracked or missing panels

Signs include stains, peeling paint, swelling, soft spots, and musty smells near an outside wall. Because we also handle roofing and gutters, we look at what is above a damaged wall. Our Waldwick gutter cleaning page explains more.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit closes the underside of the roof overhang, and fascia carries the gutters. Rotted fascia lets gutters sag and overflow onto the siding. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check whether the roof edge or gutters caused the damage.

Repair or Replace?

Repair usually works when damage is limited to a few pieces or one wall. Replacement is worth discussing when:

Several walls are damaged
Siding is brittle and cracks or loosens repeatedly
Moisture damage behind the siding is widespread
Matching pieces are unavailable
Other exterior work is planned

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Waldwick, we look at the siding and the wall behind it and explain your options.

How We Install New Siding

For a full re-side, we follow the same steps above on every wall: remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash every opening and roof-to-wall joint, and fasten new siding with room for expansion. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding.

Older Homes With History

With landmarks like the Albert Smith House dating to 1750 and a railroad station from 1886, Waldwick has a long building history, and some homes in the borough have been standing for many decades. On older houses, a repair may need to work around original wood siding, board sheathing, and trim profiles that are no longer standard. Where original siding is sound, repairing it can preserve the character of the house. Where it has been covered, we check what is underneath before deciding how to fasten new material.

Getting Ready for Work Day

A few simple steps help a siding job go smoothly: move cars out of the driveway if staging will be nearby, clear patio furniture and grills away from the walls being worked on, let us know about pets and any sprinkler heads near the house, and point out anything fragile or important near the work area. If a wall has outdoor lights or cameras, tell us so we can plan to remove and reinstall them.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check for winter cracks and loose panels.
Summer: look for ripples on sunny walls.
Fall: clean gutters and check downspouts.
Winter: keep snow piles off siding.

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