Woodland Park, known as West Paterson until it was renamed in 2009, is a borough of about 13,500 residents on roughly three square miles. Much of its character comes from Garret Mountain Reservation, a 568-acre county park on the ridge that includes the Lambert Castle site, and Slippery Rock Brook flows through the borough toward the Passaic River. The borough also has townhouse and condominium communities, and siding on those buildings works a little differently, so this page covers them in detail.

Siding in Townhouse and Condominium Communities
Who is responsible?
In many communities, the association is responsible for exterior siding; in others, owners maintain their own units within association rules. Before arranging any siding work, check your association documents. We provide estimates to individual owners or to boards for low-rise buildings.
Unit transitions
Townhouse rows often step forward and back between units, and roofs at different heights meet walls. Each of those changes needs continuous flashing and trim. A gap at one unit’s corner can let water into the neighboring unit’s wall, which is why repairs at transitions should be done with both units in mind.
Consistent appearance
Associations usually want siding colors and profiles to match across buildings. Over time, original colors fade and may be discontinued. When repairs are scattered across a community, small color differences add up. Some boards choose to stock matching material for future repairs, and some plan elevation-by-elevation or building-by-building re-siding so the community stays consistent.
Planning community-wide work
For boards considering larger siding projects, a few steps help: document conditions across all buildings, separate urgent water-related repairs from cosmetic ones, decide on approved products and colors up front, and phase work so residents know when their building will be affected. We can help with documentation and a written, prioritized scope.
Homes Near Garret Mountain
Ridge and slope exposure
Homes on the slopes and higher ground near Garret Mountain catch more wind than those in the valley. Siding at corners, gable ends, and the bottom course takes the most stress, and loose panels can be stripped in a single storm.
Runoff on sloped lots
Roof water joins water running downhill. Downspouts dumping onto a slope splash the lower siding on downhill walls and wash soil against the house.
Trees and the reservation
Properties near the wooded reservation see more leaves and branches. Gutters fill quickly and overflow down the siding, shaded walls stay damp and grow mildew, and squirrels can reach the eaves from overhanging limbs.

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. In association communities, approved colors may also apply. We find the closest available match and explain options before work begins.
Wood, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum
- Wood and cedar: we replace split or rotted pieces, prime all sides, and paint to blend.
- Fiber cement: cracked boards are replaced, joints flashed, and new boards painted to the approved color.
- 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, falling limbs, 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
After a storm, walk around your building 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. In association communities, the association may handle claims for exterior damage. We can document the damage, explain which repairs protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.
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:
- Gaps at unit transitions
- Missing kick-out flashing where roofs meet walls
- Overflowing gutters under trees
- Windows and doors without proper flashing
- Splashback on downhill walls
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 Woodland Park gutter cleaning page explains more.
Soffit, Fascia, and Trim
Soffit closes the underside of the roof overhang, and fascia carries the gutters. On townhouse rows, soffit and fascia often run continuously across units. 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 or buildings are damaged
- Siding is brittle and cracks or loosens repeatedly
- Moisture damage behind the siding is widespread
- Matching pieces are unavailable
- An association is planning community-wide work
We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Woodland Park, we look at the siding and the wall behind it and explain your options.
Siding Installation and Replacement
For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash every opening, unit transition, and roof-to-wall joint, and fasten new siding with room for expansion. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and go over product, profile, and color options, within any association guidelines.
Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Woodland Park construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.
Along Slippery Rock Brook
Slippery Rock Brook flows through the borough toward the Passaic River. Homes in lower spots near the brook can see more moisture around the base of their walls after heavy rain. On these properties, the bottom courses of siding and the trim nearest the ground deserve extra attention. Directing downspouts well away from the house, keeping soil and mulch from creeping up against the siding, and making sure the ground slopes away from the foundation all help. If water has pooled against a wall, it is worth checking behind the lowest courses for wet sheathing.
For Owners in Association Communities
Even when the association handles siding, owners can help. Report loose panels, stains, or damage near your unit promptly; small problems at unit transitions can affect neighbors. Keep grills, planters, and stored items away from the siding. And if you notice water inside near an exterior wall, let the association know right away so the cause can be traced before it spreads.
Seasonal Siding Care
- Spring: check unit transitions and exposed corners for winter damage.
- Summer: trim branches back from walls and eaves.
- Fall: clean gutters after leaf drop.
- Winter: keep snow piles off siding.
Check from the ground only, and call a professional for anything high.
Signs to Call a Siding Contractor
