SIDING - NORTH JERSEY
Siding replacement projects in North Jersey
New siding changes how a house looks and how well it sheds water. This project shows a full siding replacement from start to finish: old siding off, house wrap on, then white siding with black trim.
Hudson County - Union City
White siding with black window trim in Union City, NJ
Finished side wall and addition
Old siding removed and house wrap on the wall
Black window trim above the brick base
The situation
The old siding came off the walls in strips, and the wall was covered in house wrap before the new siding went up. The finished house has white horizontal siding with black trim around the windows, set against the dark roof and the brick chimney. The same siding runs across the main house and the addition, so the walls read as one.
When this makes sense
- Panels are cracked, loose or missing in several places
- You suspect moisture behind the siding and want to see the wall
- You want a new look, with a trim color that contrasts with the siding
How the job went
- Old siding comes off — Stripped from the walls so the wall underneath can be checked.
- House wrap goes on — A weather-resistant layer over the wall, as in the in-progress photo.
- New siding and trim — White lap siding with black window trim, finished around the windows and the brick base.
Siding projects: common questions
Can an addition get the same siding as the main house?
Yes. Running one siding across both makes the walls read as one house, as in this Union City project.
Does white siding with dark trim suit a dark roof?
Light walls with dark trim and a dark roof is a classic high-contrast look, as on this house. Looking at samples outdoors in daylight helps you judge.
How long does a siding job take?
It depends on the size of the house, the weather and what is found under the old siding. A time estimate comes after the house has been seen.
