Our Siding Services for Short Hills Homeowners
Here’s what we put on houses, and how to price it before we visit.
Vinyl Siding Installation
Good vinyl siding starts with the parts you don’t see. We use starter strip, corner posts, and J-channel around every window, over full house wrap with taped seams. Then each panel is fastened so it can slide as it heats and cools, which keeps the wall looking straight.
More on vinyl siding →James Hardie Siding Installation
Because fiber cement is heavy and rigid, the details matter more. Clearances at the roofline and ground and flashing behind the trim both make a real difference. We install James Hardie following the manufacturer’s instructions and walk you through each detail before we start.
Fiber cement siding →Real Wood & Wood-Look Siding
Some homeowners want real cedar and are happy to maintain it. Others want the cedar look and nothing else. We install real cedar shake, CertainTeed Cedar Impressions polymer shake, and LP SmartSide engineered wood, so you can choose the balance of look and upkeep that suits you.

Four Steps to New Siding on Your Short Hills Home
No hard sell. Just a clear plan and a written price.
Tell Us About Your Siding
The first step is a short conversation. We’ll ask what’s wrong, how old the siding is, and what you’re hoping for, then book your free siding estimate at a time that works.
We Look at Every Wall
Expect a real inspection, not a drive-by. We look at the condition of the siding and trim, note any storm damage, measure for materials, and show you photos before we leave.
Clear Quote, No Surprises
Your itemized quote shows exactly what you’re paying for. Compare it to other bids line by line, ask questions, and decide on your own time. The price is in writing.
Installation and Final Walkthrough
When the work wraps up, you get a clean property, a final walkthrough, and your warranties in writing: the manufacturer’s on the product and our transferable workmanship warranty on the install.
What Makes Us the Right Siding Company for Short Hills
Before you sign with any Short Hills siding company, read this.
New siding looks unfinished next to tired trim. We handle soffit, fascia, AZEK PVC trim, and aluminum trim wrap as part of the same job.
Full house wrap with taped seams goes on before any siding. It’s the layer that keeps water out of your walls, and we never skip it.
If a few damaged pieces can be replaced, that’s what we’ll quote. We don’t sell whole-house siding jobs to people who don’t need them.
Before we call a job finished, we walk the whole house with you and go over anything you want to look at. Your sign-off is the last step.
Vinyl, insulated vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, cedar, polymer shake, and stone veneer. Pick the look you want and we’ll install it.
If there’s rotted sheathing under the old siding, you’ll see it with your own eyes before we replace it, and it’s billed per sheet as quoted.
What to Ask Before Hiring Siding Installers in Short Hills
Look past the sales pitch and focus on what goes behind the siding, because that’s where most siding failures start. Ask if the house will be fully wrapped and every seam taped. Ask how the windows and doors will be flashed. Ask what they’ll do if the sheathing is soft, and whether you’ll see it before it’s replaced. A siding contractor who takes those questions seriously is one who takes water seriously, and that’s who you want working on your house.
Our quotes are built to be compared. Every line is there, from tear-off to trim to cleanup, and the sheathing terms are written out before we start. That’s why we’re comfortable being one of your bids, and why homeowners keep picking us. Get a free, itemized siding quote in Short Hills by calling (973) 713-1053.
Frequently Asked Siding Questions
Answers about cost, materials, warranties, and more.
The price of new siding comes down to wall area, material, and how much prep the house needs. Vinyl usually costs less than fiber cement or cedar, and extras like new soffit, fascia, trim wrap, or replacing rotted sheathing all add to the total. We give free, written, itemized estimates so you can see where your money goes. Get a ballpark from our siding cost calculator or call (973) 713-1053.
Absolutely. Storm damage siding repair is something we handle start to finish in Short Hills: inspection, photos, a written scope, working with your adjuster if you’re filing a claim, and replacing the damaged siding. When an exact match isn’t available, we’ll lay out the choices with you up front.
Yes. Financing through our partner is available for qualified homeowners, which helps when a siding problem won’t wait for the budget to catch up. We’ll go over how it works when we visit, or you can read about it now on our financing page. Call (973) 713-1053 to get started.
We’re a CertainTeed SidingMaster, and we install CertainTeed vinyl including Mainstreet and Monogram, plus Royal, Mastic, Alside, and Norandex vinyl. We also install James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, CertainTeed Cedar Impressions polymer shake, real cedar, stone veneer, and AZEK PVC trim.
Start with credentials and reviews, then judge the quote. A top siding contractor will have a NJ Home Improvement Contractor number, liability insurance, a manufacturer credential they can prove, and five-star reviews from real homeowners. We have all of that, including the CertainTeed SidingMaster credential, and our written quotes are itemized so you can compare. Call (973) 713-1053.
Older vinyl often fades and turns chalky over the years, which is one of the most common reasons people call us to replace it. Today’s vinyl lines come with manufacturer warranties, and we’ll walk you through what each product’s warranty covers and show you color options before you choose. Call (973) 713-1053 to see the options.
For most homeowners, it comes down to vinyl versus fiber cement. Vinyl is affordable and needs almost no maintenance. Fiber cement, like James Hardie, has a more solid, painted-wood look, but it’s heavier and takes more care to install. If you love real wood, cedar and polymer shake are options too. We install all of these, so our advice isn’t tied to one product.
Every Nail Force siding job includes a written workmanship warranty on the installation, on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on the siding itself. Our warranty transfers to whoever buys the home from you. Get the details in writing with your itemized quote, and ask us any questions before you commit.
Yes. We’ll come out, look at the siding, take photos, and walk you through what we found at no cost and with no obligation. You’ll get a written, itemized quote afterward, so you can compare it with any other bids you’re collecting. Call (973) 713-1053 to set it up.
Most homeowners should repair when the damage is isolated and replace when it’s everywhere. Signs you need new siding include widespread fading or chalking, warping, cracking, loose sections that keep coming back, soft sheathing, and paint on wood siding that never stays put. If it’s one wall or a few pieces, a repair is usually fine. Call (973) 713-1053 and we’ll tell you which one you’re looking at.
