Full siding replacement, repairs, and stone veneer accents. The panel you pick matters less than the housewrap and flashing behind it — and that’s the part most crews rush. We don’t.
Most contractors push the one product they install fastest and call it a recommendation. We install all of them, so what you hear from us is built around your home and your budget — not around what’s easiest for our crew. The right material, hung the right way, is what buys you the next 30 years.
The most chosen siding in NJ, and for good reason: zero repainting, dozens of profiles and colors, and a price point that lets you do the whole house right the first time. But cheap vinyl looks cheap, and a sloppy install gaps and buckles fast — so the value is in the panel we spec and the crew that hangs it.
James Hardie fiber cement is the strongest siding money buys — fire-resistant, rot-proof, backed by a 30-year warranty, and it holds paint far longer than wood. But that warranty only holds if it’s fastened to Hardie’s exact spec. We install it the way it’s engineered to be installed, so the product actually delivers what the brand promises.
LP SmartSide gives you the warmth and grain of real wood with engineered toughness and a 50-year limited warranty — far longer than natural wood ever lasts. The catch is the same as every premium product: it’s only as good as the crew that fastens and seals it. We follow LP’s spec to the letter, which is exactly what keeps that warranty valid.
Real cedar delivers character no synthetic can fake — but it’s the least forgiving material on this list. Done wrong, it cups, splits, and rots; done right, sealed and detailed properly, it outlasts the contractor who installed it. This is the one where the crew matters most, and it’s the one we won’t cut a corner on.
Natural or lightweight manufactured stone turns a flat elevation into a statement — entryways, accent walls, full transformations. But stone is unforgiving of bad waterproofing: skip the right moisture barrier behind it and you trap water against the wall. We install the part you can’t see correctly, so the part you can see lasts.
Siding is the most visible thing on your home and the easiest to install badly — because the parts that fail are the ones you can’t see behind the panel. Cheap installs gap, buckle, and trap moisture within a few years. We know exactly which corners get cut, and not cutting them is the entire difference between a 30-year exterior and a callback. That difference is the whole reason to hire us.
Every job gets correct housewrap and watertight flashing at every penetration — the part that fails first when a crew rushes. This is where the cheap bid saves money and where your wall pays for it. We don’t skip it, and it’s the single biggest reason our installs outlast the discount job next door.
You get a written estimate with the scope, the materials, and the warranty terms spelled out before we pull a single board — and our name is on every word of it. No vague promises, no “oh, that’s extra” once the wall is open. What we tell you is what you get.
James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and CertainTeed each have exact fastening and installation specs, and one wrong move voids the warranty you paid for. We install every major siding brand the way it was engineered to go on — because the brand isn’t what protects you, the install is.
You deal with Nail Force the whole way through — one company, one name on the contract, the job backed in writing. If a panel ever needs a second look, there’s no runaround and no finger-pointing. You call us, and we stand behind it.
We come to you, measure the home, walk you through the material options, and leave you with a clear written estimate on the spot — a real number you can plan around and compare line for line against any other bid. Not a ballpark over the phone you can’t hold anyone to.
NJ licensed, fully insured, workers’ comp covered — so your property and your neighbors’ are protected on every job and the liability is ours, not yours. That’s not paperwork, that’s who you can hold accountable. HIC #13VH14050100.
There’s a lot of bad information out there. Here’s what actually matters before you spend a dime.
“Siding is siding. Just pick the cheapest crew.”
The material barely matters if the install is wrong. Skip the housewrap or botch the flashing and water gets behind the wall, where you won’t see the rot until it’s eating the framing. The cheap crew is the expensive crew — you just pay them later, with interest.
“The manufacturer warranty covers me no matter who installs it.”
James Hardie, LP, and CertainTeed only honor the warranty if the install follows their exact spec. One wrong fastener pattern and that 40-year warranty is worthless paper. We install them to spec — so the warranty you’re paying a premium for actually holds when you need it.
“I’ll just trust the contractor that it’s done right.”
The most important parts of a siding job get covered up forever once the panels go on. We photograph the housewrap and flashing first — so you can verify the part that actually protects your home, not just trust that the pretty finish has something solid behind it.
The cheapest bid is the most expensive mistake homeowners make. Get it done right once, by a crew that has to stand behind it.

SidingMaster Credentialed
Most siding companies install CertainTeed vinyl. Very few are SidingMaster Credentialed — a status CertainTeed only awards to installers who complete factory training and meet workmanship standards on every install. Here’s what that means for you.
Our siding crews have completed CertainTeed’s installation training program. That means we know the correct nailing pattern, the right starter strip detail, the proper J-channel and flashing integration around windows and doors — the details that separate siding that lasts 30+ years from siding that warps, buckles, or leaks early.
SidingMaster status is reserved for installers who meet CertainTeed’s quality and workmanship requirements on real jobs — not a one-time quiz. Maintaining the credential means installing every panel to spec: proper expansion gaps, correct nailing depth, water-managed transitions. The kind of details a homeowner doesn’t see until something fails.
When CertainTeed credentials an installer, they’re putting their reputation behind that contractor’s work. As SidingMaster Credentialed, we install CertainTeed vinyl the way it was engineered to be installed — so the product performs the way the manufacturer promises, for the lifespan it’s rated for.
SidingMaster status applies to our siding work. For roofing, we hold Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status. For other exterior products — windows, doors, gutters, trim — we work with manufacturers like James Hardie, LP SmartSide, ProVia, Andersen, AZEK, and others we know and trust.

If yours isn’t here, call us. You’ll get a straight answer from the people who’ll actually do the work.
Vinyl typically lasts 25–40 years, fiber cement 50+, LP SmartSide carries a 50-year limited warranty, and cedar runs 20–40 with upkeep. But every one of those numbers assumes a correct install — the same panel hung sloppy fails in a fraction of the time. The biggest factor in how long your siding lasts isn’t the brand on the box, it’s the crew on the ladder.
There’s no single best — there’s the best fit for your home and budget. Vinyl is the smart-value workhorse, fiber cement is the toughest material made, LP SmartSide splits the difference with real-wood looks, and cedar is the premium statement piece. What ties them together is this: any of them outperforms the others if it’s installed correctly, and all of them fail early if it isn’t. We’ll match you to the right one and install it to spec.
We assess each job individually. Sometimes existing siding can be sided over — but more often we pull it off to inspect the sheathing and housewrap underneath, because that’s exactly where moisture damage hides. Plenty of cheaper crews skip that step to save a day and bury rot behind your new wall. We won’t install over a compromised substrate, period — that’s the difference you’re paying for.
A clear written scope and a firm price in plain language — what we’re installing, what’s included, and what it costs — that you can lay side by side against any other bid. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before any work begins, and you get it on the first visit, with our name behind every line.
In most cases, yes. Major manufacturers offer a wide range of profiles and colors. For partial replacements, we work to match existing as closely as possible — and we’ll tell you honestly if an exact match isn’t available so you can decide how to proceed.
We cover all 14 NJ counties — from Bergen down to Ocean and across to Warren. That’s 400+ towns. No travel fees anywhere in our coverage area. If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll confirm immediately.
