Exterior Contractor Serving East Windsor, NJ

A 1980s East Windsor colonial with original builder-grade shingles is almost certainly past its rated life. Builder-grade 3-tab shingles from that era carried 20 to 25-year ratings, and at 35 to 40 years old the granule loss, curling, and brittle tabs are signs of failure, not cosmetic wear. Nail Force Contracting assesses the full roof system — decking condition, underlayment, ventilation, all penetrations — before writing a proposal. We install GAF or CertainTeed architectural shingle systems that carry manufacturer warranties and perform in New Jersey’s climate.

A 1970s East Windsor split-level likely has original aluminum or early vinyl siding that has chalked, dented, or lost its color entirely. James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered wood are both strong replacements — fiber cement for low-maintenance longevity, LP SmartSide for its impact resistance and wood-grain appearance. Both are factory primed and hold paint well in New Jersey’s seasonal swings. We assess the original sheathing condition before any new siding goes on.

Corner overflow on East Windsor gutters is almost always a slope or joint problem — sections that have pulled apart slightly or lost their pitch toward the downspout. In older aluminum gutter systems, hangers loosen and the gutter sags at mid-span, pooling water at the joints. Nail Force Contracting installs seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site to your exact measurements, eliminating the lap joints where most leaks start.

Nail Force Contracting installs Andersen and Pella windows in East Windsor Township — both manufacturer-warranted product lines with strong track records in New Jersey. For a 1970s or 1980s colonial, the most common replacement scenario is a full-frame swap, which lets us assess and address the rough opening, insulation, and flashing at the same time. Harvey is also an option for East Windsor budget-conscious replacements.

A rotted threshold and a drafty East Windsor entry door usually mean the original frame and sill have been absorbing moisture for years. The correct fix is a full door system replacement — frame, sill, door, and weatherstripping — rather than patching the threshold alone. Nail Force Contracting installs Therma-Tru and ProVia fiberglass entry door systems, which are far more resistant to moisture than the original hollow-core steel or wood units.

Recurring paint failure on East Windsor wood trim is a moisture problem, not a paint problem. Wood trim absorbs water, swells, and breaks the paint bond from beneath. Azek and KOMA PVC cellular trim eliminate this cycle entirely — they’re dimensionally stable, won’t rot, absorb no moisture, and hold paint indefinitely. Nail Force Contracting removes the original wood trim, corrects any water damage behind it, and installs Azek or KOMA profiles that match your home’s original trim details.
