Siding in Somerville, NJ
Local. Licensed. Done Right.
When lap-siding runs fail in Somerville, the cause is rarely obvious. The trail usually leads from rotted house-wrap from short flashing to summer heat on south walls. We run lap repairs with matched profile and rebuild the detail that drove it. Same crew start to finish.
Siding Services for Somerville Homeowners
The wall assembly behind the siding on a Somerville home determines how the replacement performs. Compromised housewrap, wet sheathing, and failed corner board flashing don’t get better when new panels go over them — they get worse. We check what’s underneath before we recommend anything.
Every siding job we do in Somerville starts with what’s underneath — sheathing condition, housewrap integrity, and how moisture has been moving through the wall assembly. James Hardie and LP SmartSide go on the majority of our jobs. CertainTeed and Provia vinyl are the right call on homes where the substrate is sound and lower maintenance is the priority — a SidingMaster Credentialed installer for CertainTeed vinyl on the CertainTeed side.

Siding Questions — Somerville, NJ
If yours isn’t here, call us. We’ll give you a real answer.
James Hardie is the most common recommendation we make on older Somerville homes with wood profiles. James Hardie is a fiber cement siding made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It’s rot-proof, insect-proof, won’t warp in NJ winters, and holds paint for 15+ years with the ColorPlus factory finish. It can be installed in profiles that match original wood siding on older homes and looks the part on period architecture.
We inspect all sheathing for rot, soft spots, and moisture damage, replace any compromised sections, install or replace housewrap with proper lapping and taping, and flash all window and door openings. On older Somerville homes, this prep phase often reveals problems that the old siding was hiding — we document everything and walk you through what we find.
For period homes in Somerville where character matters, James Hardie Artisan series or HardieShingle is often the right fit — it replicates the look of original cedar lap or cedar shake without the maintenance or rot risk. We’ve matched original 4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch exposure profiles on older homes throughout the area. We’ll show you options at the estimate.
