Siding Contractors Serving Central New Jersey
Double D Construction has installed, replaced and repaired siding across Middlesex County, Somerset County and Hunterdon County since 1995. We are a New Jersey licensed home improvement contractor (license #13VH00483900), fully insured, and we work on vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement and wood siding for both single-family homes and small commercial buildings.
Siding is the part of your house that takes the weather first. In Central New Jersey that means humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles all winter, nor'easters in the spring and fall, and the occasional hailstorm. Panels expand and contract through every one of those cycles, and the fasteners, flashing and water-resistive barrier behind them are what decide whether water stays outside the wall. Most of the failures we are called to look at are not really about the panels at all - they are about what was done, or not done, behind them years earlier.
That is why every job starts with a look at the whole wall assembly and not just the surface. We tear off the old material so the sheathing can be inspected, correct rot and flashing problems before anything new goes up, and detail the windows, doors and rooflines where leaks actually begin. You get a written scope and a schedule before we start, and the same crew from tear-off to final cleanup.

Siding Materials Compared
Expected service life for each material in a New Jersey climate, with relative cost. Figures are industry material lifespans, not a guarantee - installation quality and maintenance move them in both directions.
| Material | Relative cost | Expected service life | Maintenance | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $ | 20-40 years | Rinse annually; no painting | Most Central NJ homes: lowest cost per year of service |
| Insulated Vinyl | $ | 25-40 years | Rinse annually; no painting | Older homes with thin wall insulation and high heating bills |
| Fiber Cement | $$ | 40-50 years | Repaint roughly every 10-15 years | Homeowners who want a wood look with far less upkeep |
| Wood / Cedar | $$ | 20-40 years with upkeep | Stain or paint every 5-7 years | Historic homes and neighborhoods with appearance standards |
Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Siding
Siding rarely fails all at once. These are the signals worth acting on before water reaches the sheathing, where a siding job turns into a framing repair.
- Cracked, split, loose or missing panels, especially after a windstorm
- Soft or spongy spots when you press on the wall - a sign moisture has reached the sheathing
- Peeling paint or wallpaper inside the house on an exterior wall
- Visible mildew, moss or dark streaking that returns soon after cleaning
- Warped or buckled panels, usually from heat, poor fastening, or trapped moisture
- Fading so uneven that repairs no longer blend in
- Heating and cooling bills climbing with no other explanation
- Repainting every few years just to keep the exterior presentable
If you are seeing two or three of these together, it is worth an inspection. We will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether replacement is the better value - and we do plenty of repairs.

How long does a siding replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Central New Jersey are completed in three to five working days once materials are on site. Larger homes, multiple stories, or hidden sheathing damage found during tear-off can add time. We give you an expected schedule in writing with your estimate.
Do you need to remove the old siding?
In most cases yes, and we recommend it. Tearing off the old material is the only way to inspect the sheathing and water-resistive barrier underneath and to correct any rot or flashing problems before the new siding goes on. Installing over failing material hides problems that will cost far more later.
What is the best siding material for New Jersey weather?
For most homes, quality vinyl gives the best balance of cost, durability and low maintenance in our freeze-thaw climate. Fiber cement is the stronger choice if you want a wood appearance without repainting every few years, and it handles temperature swings very well. We walk through the trade-offs for your specific home during the estimate.
Will new siding lower my energy bills?
Siding alone is not insulation, but the work usually helps. Replacing siding lets us seal gaps and repair the water-resistive barrier, and insulated vinyl or added house wrap raises the wall assembly R-value. Homes with original 1950s-1970s walls typically see the biggest difference.
Can siding damage be covered by homeowners insurance?
Sudden damage from a storm, hail or a fallen limb is often covered, while gradual wear and age are not. Photograph the damage, report it to your carrier promptly, and keep our written assessment. We are used to documenting storm damage for adjusters.
Are you licensed and insured in New Jersey?
Yes. Double D Construction holds New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor license #13VH00483900 and carries general liability and workers compensation coverage. We are glad to provide certificates before work begins.
Do you repair siding, or only replace it?
We do both. If the damage is limited to a few panels and the wall underneath is sound, a repair is the sensible fix. When panels are no longer manufactured in a matching color or the damage is widespread, replacement usually costs less over the life of the wall.
Work That Often Goes With Siding
Tear-off is the cheapest moment to address anything else on the exterior, because the wall is already open and the crew is already on site.
- Gutters and leaders - they come off for siding anyway, so aging gutters are worth replacing at the same time.
- Windows and doors - replacing them during a siding job means the flashing and trim are integrated once, correctly.
- Roofing - rooflines, step flashing and wall intersections are where most leaks start.
