Siding Installation in Essex County, NJ

New siding is one of the highest-impact home improvements you can make, simultaneously transforming your home's appearance, improving energy efficiency, and creating a weather-resistant envelope that protects the structure beneath. At R&E Roofing, we install all major siding materials including vinyl, fiber cement (James Hardie), engineered wood, and natural wood, helping you select the product that best matches your aesthetic goals and performance requirements.

Essex County homes face year-round weather challenges that test siding performance: summer heat and UV exposure fade colors and cause expansion, winter cold causes contraction and can crack rigid materials, wind-driven rain finds every gap in the envelope, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate deterioration. The material you choose must handle all these stresses while maintaining its appearance for decades.

Fiber cement siding has become our most-recommended product for Essex County homes. It resists moisture, insects, fire, and impact damage while accepting paint beautifully for unlimited color options. James Hardie's ColorPlus technology provides factory-applied finishes with 15-year fade resistance, eliminating the maintenance cycle of repainting every 5-7 years that wood and some vinyl products require.

Proper installation matters more than material selection. We install house wrap moisture barriers, use manufacturer-specified fasteners and spacing, maintain correct reveal dimensions, and ensure all joints and transitions are sealed against water intrusion. Trim details around windows, doors, and corners receive particular attention because these transitions are where most siding failures originate. The result is a beautiful, durable exterior that protects your home and boosts its value.
