Exterior Contractor Serving East Hanover, NJ
Roofing, Siding, Windows, Doors & More.
East Hanover’s 1960s–80s ranches and split-levels on the Morris-Essex border follow the predictable mid-century exterior aging pattern — second-cycle roofing conditions, aluminum siding past service life, gutter systems undersized for actual roof drainage loads. These are homes we assess consistently throughout the season. Every homeowner gets a written condition report before any scope is discussed.

Roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors, and exterior trim — we cover every exterior surface on your East Hanover home.
Roofing
East Hanover’s 1960s-1980s ranches, split-levels, and raised ranches are on the standard replacement cycle for that construction era — most are now approaching or past 25-30 years on their first or second shingle system. The low-slope sections on ranch and raised-ranch roof geometries retain water longer than steeper pitches and show damage first. We inspect every roof section including the shallow-pitch areas before recommending any system. Owens Corning Duration is our standard recommendation for these homes.

Original vinyl siding from the 1980s on East Hanover’s split-level and colonial housing stock is fading, chalking, and losing impact resistance — a bump from ladder contact during any service work is now enough to crack the material. Aluminum siding on the 1960s ranches is denting and oxidizing. We assess the wall assembly and substrate condition before recommending any replacement product.

Builder-grade 4-inch gutters on East Hanover’s split-levels have never been adequate for the roof area they’re draining — the two-story front face on a colonial pushes significant water volume into a gutter that was sized by the cheapest available option at build time. Splash damage at foundations is visible on many East Hanover properties. We fabricate seamless 5 or 6-inch aluminum on-site sized correctly for each section.

Fogged thermal pane units from 1990s replacements are the dominant window condition in East Hanover — the seal failed, the insulating gas escaped, and the window is now single-pane performance in a double-pane frame. Original aluminum sliding windows on the 1960s-1970s homes still present have failed weatherstripping and no thermal break. We measure every opening individually and provide room-by-room condition assessments.

Sliding glass doors on East Hanover’s raised ranches are a consistent energy loss point — the track seals degrade, the threshold gasket compresses, and the glass itself provides minimal insulation. We assess the full slider assembly, frame condition, and threshold before recommending replacement. Therma-Tru and JELD-WEN sliding door systems are available with contemporary energy performance.

Aluminum soffit panels on East Hanover’s 1970s-1980s homes are separating at the seams — the fastening was never adequate for long-term panel retention, and the panels trap moisture between themselves and the wood soffit board underneath. We remove all aluminum wrap, assess the wood condition, and replace with Azek PVC trim and vented soffit panels that handle moisture correctly.

East Hanover’s 1960s–80s ranches and split-levels on the Morris-Essex border follow the mid-century exterior aging pattern that we see consistently throughout this housing cohort. Roofing installed in the 1990s or early 2000s over existing shingles without full tear-off is now at end of service life — and the deck condition underneath is unknown. Aluminum siding from the 1970s has been through fifty-plus years of NJ freeze-thaw cycling. Original gutter systems are undersized for current storm volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions — East Hanover, NJ
Have a question not listed? Call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
The only way to know deck condition with certainty is a full tear-off inspection. We probe the deck from the attic side during inspection — soft spots, delamination, and past leak staining are visible before the old shingles come off. Written assessment before any scope is committed.
James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement over the existing sheathing — it replaces the chalking, fading aluminum siding permanently with a product that won’t require repainting for decades. We probe the substrate behind the existing siding before recommending any installation approach.
Re-hanging gutters into rotted fascia means they’ll pull away again — usually within a season. The right fix is new fascia and properly-hung gutters at the correct pitch. We assess the fascia condition behind every gutter run before recommending any approach.
Jalousie windows have no meaningful thermal seal and should be replaced if energy performance matters. Casement or double-hung inserts in the existing rough openings are the practical replacement for most East Hanover sunroom configurations. We measure every opening and assess the frame before specifying a product.
Threshold replacement is often straightforward, but we assess the full sill pan condition first — a cracked threshold on an older East Hanover home may indicate sill rot underneath. We don’t replace the threshold without knowing what’s beneath it. Written assessment before any scope.
Window casing rot at the sill is almost always caused by failed caulk at the siding-to-casing junction that lets water behind the casing and pools at the sill. We identify the failure point, replace with Azek PVC casing that won’t rot, and re-seal the junction correctly.
