Siding · Mercer, Burlington & Ocean County
Vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement, and cedar — installed over a wall we've actually looked at, not just covered up.
Contractor Solutions installs and replaces vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding for homes across Mercer, Burlington, and Ocean counties in New Jersey. A typical single-family siding replacement takes three to five days and includes tearing off the old material, repairing any rotted sheathing, and new house wrap.

There isn't one right answer — there's the right answer for your house, your block, and what you plan to spend. Here's how the four we install actually compare.
The default for good reason: no painting, handles New Jersey freeze-thaw well, and the color range now goes far past the beige-and-white era. Thicker panels hold their line better on long walls.
Vinyl with rigid foam bonded to the back. It adds real R-value and, more noticeably, kills the hollow drum sound and makes the wall look flatter and more expensive from the street.
Reads like painted wood, won't melt near a grill, and holds paint for a long time. Heavier and more labor to hang, so it costs more up front — worth it on a house where the exterior is the point.
Sometimes a township or an HOA requires it, and sometimes a house simply deserves it. Beautiful, and honest about the maintenance it asks for — plan on refinishing.
This is the argument for a tear-off in one list. None of it is visible until the old panels come off, and all of it gets worse under new siding.
We photograph everything we find and show you before we cover it. If the wall is sound, that's good news you paid nothing for. If it isn't, you get to fix it once instead of twice.
Siding and roofing share staging, dumpsters, and permits. Doing both in one mobilization is meaningfully cheaper than doing them a year apart — and it's the only way to get the flashing where the roof meets the wall right.

A typical single-family home in the Trenton area takes three to five working days. Larger homes, multiple stories, or extensive sheathing rot can extend that. We work one elevation at a time so your house is never fully exposed.
We generally don't recommend it. Going over the top hides whatever is wrong underneath — rotted sheathing, failed house wrap, bad window flashing — and those are the problems that actually damage a house. A tear-off costs more, and it's the only way anyone can honestly warranty the wall.
For most central New Jersey homes, insulated vinyl is the best balance: it handles freeze-thaw cycling without cracking, needs no painting, and adds insulation to walls that usually don't have enough. Fiber cement is the better choice where appearance is the priority or a historic district sets requirements.
Usually yes for a full replacement, and requirements vary by township. Contractor Solutions pulls the permit and handles inspection sign-off as part of the job — it's in the estimate, not an extra line at the end.
Yes. Hail dents and wind-torn panels are covered perils on most New Jersey homeowners policies, and siding damage frequently appears on the same claim as roof damage. We document both during a single free inspection.
