Exterior Contractor Serving Dover, NJ

Roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors, and exterior trim — we cover every exterior surface on your Dover home.
Roofing
Dover’s dense multi-family housing stock — two-family and three-family homes, mixed commercial/residential along Blackwell Street — has roofing conditions that differ from standard single-family suburban work. Flat and low-slope roofs on multi-family buildings require modified bitumen or TPO systems, not architectural shingles. We scope every property type correctly and provide written estimates with the right materials for each roof geometry. Standard shingle replacement also available on Dover’s single-family capes and ranches.

Vinyl siding installed over original asbestos on Dover’s 1940s-1950s housing stock changes the project scope significantly — the asbestos layer affects how substrate prep is handled. We document and disclose what we find before quoting. Deferred maintenance on multi-family properties in Dover is also common; we assess every unit’s exposure separately and provide a phased scope when the full project needs to be staged.

Shared drainage between closely spaced Dover properties means downspout routing affects neighbors — we assess the full drainage path before installing anything and route water to the right destination rather than just off the building. Multi-family homes in Dover have large roof areas that undersized original gutters can’t handle; we size for the actual drainage load per section.

Single-pane wood windows on Dover’s pre-war multi-family homes are an energy and comfort problem that compounds across multiple units — the heat loss adds up. We assess every opening in a multi-family building and provide a complete written scope with condition notes by unit. JELD-WEN and Harvey are cost-effective replacements that perform correctly on these buildings.

Multi-unit entry doors in Dover see heavy traffic wear that residential door lines don’t handle long-term — we spec commercial-grade hardware on multi-family entries where traffic volume justifies it. Single-family homes in Dover have standard solid-wood entry doors from the mid-century era with failed weatherstripping and threshold rot; Therma-Tru fiberglass is the correct upgrade.

Deferred trim maintenance on Dover’s multi-family properties has allowed aluminum wrap from past decades to come loose and trap moisture against the wood it was meant to protect. We remove the wrap, assess the wood condition underneath, replace what’s rotted, and install Azek PVC that doesn’t create the same trapped-moisture problem. Single-family homes in Dover get the same substrate assessment before any surface work.

Dover’s dense housing mix — older multi-family downtown, 1940s–60s single-family on residential blocks, properties from multiple construction eras mixed throughout — means exterior conditions vary significantly from property to property. A Victorian-era multi-family and a 1960s colonial two blocks away require entirely different assessments. We look at every Dover home for what it actually is, not what the neighborhood average suggests.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dover, NJ
Have a question not listed? Call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
With a full inspection — every roof plane walked, every drain and scupper checked, all flashing at parapet walls and HVAC penetrations assessed. Multi-family roofing in Dover has specific drainage requirements that single-family assessments don’t cover. Written findings before any scope is discussed.
If the siding has been patched from multiple repair eras, the substrate behind it is usually in worse condition than it appears. We probe the wall assembly before recommending a scope. James Hardie fiber cement over a properly-prepped substrate is the upgrade that ends the patch cycle.
Yes — downspout extensions, underground drain connections, or rerouting to a rear yard discharge point. We assess the drainage picture for the full property and recommend the approach that moves water away from the foundation and the sidewalk without creating new problems.
Modern double-pane low-e inserts in existing frames will deliver a noticeable comfort improvement on single-pane Dover homes. Where frame rot makes insert work impractical, full-frame replacement is the right call. We assess every window individually and give you a written per-unit report with realistic expectations.
Usually the frame has shifted or the door has sagged — both are common on older Dover rental properties. We assess the full opening, check plumb and square, and determine whether adjustment, a new slab, or a full prehung replacement is the right fix. Written assessment before any work is recommended.
Azek PVC trim ends the repaint cycle permanently. It won’t absorb moisture, won’t rot, and holds paint for decades. We trace every trim failure to its moisture source before replacing anything — replacing trim without fixing the underlying cause means it fails again.
