Quick Answer
Who is the best siding contractor near me in Northern NJ? Nail Force Contracting is a licensed and insured New Jersey siding contractor, NJ HIC #13VH14050100, and a CertainTeed SidingMaster. We install and replace vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, cedar shake, and stone veneer, plus soffit, fascia, and trim, across 400+ towns in 14 NJ counties. Every estimate is free and in writing. Call (973) 713-1053.
We install every material on this page, so our advice isn’t steered toward one product. At your free estimate we look at the house, the exposure, how long you plan to stay, and the look you want, then we tell you which siding makes sense and why. Get that call right and hang it right, and you won’t think about your exterior again for a long, long time.
The siding most NJ homeowners pick, and it earns it: no scraping, no repainting, and a huge range of profiles and colors. We’re a CertainTeed SidingMaster, and we hang vinyl loose enough to expand and contract through a Jersey summer and winter, so the walls stay flat and tight instead of rippling after the first heat wave.
James Hardie fiber cement stands up to fire, rot, bugs, and hail, and it holds paint far longer than wood. It’s also heavy, brittle at the cut edge, and picky about nail depth and joint gaps. We install it to Hardie’s published instructions, prime every cut end, and keep the clearances right, which is exactly what the manufacturer warranty depends on.
LP SmartSide gives you real wood grain and deep shadow lines on a board that’s treated to resist rot and impact. It’s lighter than fiber cement and takes paint beautifully. Like any wood-based product, the edges have to be sealed and the gaps set right, and we follow LP’s published installation instructions on every board so the warranty stays intact.
Nothing looks like real cedar. It’s also the least forgiving siding you can buy: fasten it wrong or skip the air space behind it and it cups, splits, and rots. We handle full cedar jobs and 24-inch shake repairs, and if you want the look without the upkeep we’ll show you polymer shake like CertainTeed Cedar Impressions side by side.
Stone veneer turns a plain front into the best-looking house on the street: wainscot, entry columns, a full accent wall. The risk is water. Stone holds moisture, so the barrier and drainage behind it matter more than the stone itself. We build that backing correctly first, then set the stone, so the wall behind it stays dry.
Siding is the biggest thing people see on your house, and the parts that decide whether it lasts are the ones nobody sees once the job’s done. Taped house wrap, flashing at every window and door, starter strip, J-channel, corner posts, and panels hung so they can move. We do every one of those on every wall, and we show you photos before the panels cover them. That’s the reason to call us.
Full house wrap with taped seams and flashing at every window, door, and penetration goes on before a single panel. This is the layer that actually keeps water out of your sheathing. We photograph it so you can see it with your own eyes, not take our word for it.
Before we pull a board you get a written, itemized quote with the materials, the scope, and the warranty terms laid out. If we open a wall and find rotted sheathing, we show it to you first and it’s handled exactly the way the quote says. You won’t get surprised halfway through.
CertainTeed, James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and the other lines we carry each publish exact fastening and gapping rules, and the product warranty leans on them. We follow the maker’s published instructions for whatever goes on your house, because a great panel hung the wrong way still fails.
From the estimate to the final walkthrough you deal with Nail Force. One name on the contract and a written, transferable workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s product warranty. If something ever needs a second look, you call one number and we come back.
We come out, measure every wall, bring real samples, and point out anything we see: soft sheathing, failed caulk, loose trim. You get a written estimate you can hold us to and read side by side with anyone else’s. No guessing over the phone.
We’re a registered New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor, HIC #13VH14050100, and we carry commercial general liability insurance. Ask for our certificate of insurance and we’ll send it. You should know exactly who’s working on your house.
You’ll hear a lot of opinions once you start shopping for siding. Here’s what actually decides how your walls hold up.
“Siding is siding. Whoever’s lowest wins.”
The panel is only the rain screen. Skip the house wrap or miss the flashing at one window and water runs behind the wall, where it rots the sheathing quietly for years. By the time a stain shows up inside, the fix is a lot bigger than the siding job ever was.
“The manufacturer warranty covers me no matter who puts it up.”
Siding manufacturers write installation rules into their warranties. Wrong fastener spacing, no expansion gap, unprimed cut edges, and a claim can get turned down. We install every product to its maker’s published instructions, so the warranty you’re paying for is still there when you need it.
“If it looks good from the street, it was done right.”
The finished face tells you almost nothing. The wrap, the flashing, and the condition of the sheathing all get buried the minute the panels go up. We take photos of what we find and what we install before it’s covered, so you can check the work that actually protects your home.
Siding is a once-in-a-generation job on most houses. Have it done correctly the first time by a company that puts its name on the work.

SidingMaster Credentialed
Plenty of companies can buy CertainTeed vinyl. Nail Force is CertainTeed SidingMaster Credentialed, CertainTeed’s own recognition for contractors who install its vinyl siding to its standards. Here’s what that gets you on your house.
We know CertainTeed’s nailing pattern, the starter strip detail, and how J-channel and flashing tie in around windows and doors. Those small details are what separate a vinyl wall that stays straight and dry for decades from one that warps, rattles, or leaks early.
Keeping the credential means hanging every panel the CertainTeed way: proper expansion gaps, nails set snug but not tight, water-managed transitions at every corner and opening. Those are details you’d never spot from the driveway, and they’re the ones that decide how the siding ages.
CertainTeed puts its name next to ours on SidingMaster installs. You get CertainTeed vinyl hung the way CertainTeed designed it, with the manufacturer’s product warranty plus our written, transferable workmanship warranty behind the job.
SidingMaster covers our vinyl siding work. On roofs, we’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. We also install James Hardie, LP SmartSide, AZEK, and other products we trust, each to the maker’s published instructions. Those are products we install, not credentials we claim.

Don’t see yours? Call us and you’ll get a straight answer from someone who knows siding.
Properly installed vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and stone veneer all last for decades, and cedar does too when it’s maintained. The catch is the install: the same panel hung without house wrap or expansion room can fail years early. How long your siding lasts depends as much on how it went up as on the product itself.
The best siding is the one that fits your house, your plans, and the look you want. Vinyl is the low-maintenance favorite, fiber cement is the toughest against fire and impact, LP SmartSide gives you real wood grain on an engineered board, and cedar is the classic high-end choice. We install all of them, so we’ll give you a straight recommendation at your free estimate. Call (973) 713-1053 to book it.
In most cases, yes, we tear off the old siding so we can see the sheathing underneath. That’s where water damage hides, and it’s the only way to install fresh house wrap and flashing. If we find rotted sheathing, we show you photos first and replace it per sheet as your quote spells out. We won’t bury soft wood behind brand-new siding.
You get a free visit, measurements, photos of any problems we find, and a written, itemized quote in plain language. It lists the material, the work, and the warranty so you can compare it with any other proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’ll answer every question before you decide.
Usually, yes. The major manufacturers make a wide range of profiles and colors, and we’ll bring the closest match to your estimate. Older or discontinued siding can be hard to match exactly, and if that’s the case we’ll say so up front and walk you through your options before any work starts.
If you live in one of our 14 NJ counties, the answer is yes. We cover 400+ towns from Sussex and Warren down through Morris, Bergen, and Essex to Monmouth, Ocean, and Mercer, working out of Stanhope. Call (973) 713-1053 and we’ll get you on the schedule for a free estimate.
