Exterior Remodeling

The duration of an exterior remodel depends on the scope of the project and weather conditions. A siding replacement typically takes 1-2 weeks, while a roof replacement might take 3-5 days. More extensive projects involving multiple elements (siding, windows, roofing) may take 3-6 weeks. Outdoor living projects like decks and patios generally take 2-4 weeks. During your initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project scope and requirements, with built-in flexibility for weather-related delays.

Exterior remodeling costs vary widely based on the size of your home, scope of work, and quality of materials. In the Bergen County area, siding replacement might range from $15,000 to $50,000+ depending on material choice and home size. Roof replacement typically ranges from $10,000 to $30,000+. Window replacement might cost $12,000 to $30,000 for a whole house. Outdoor living spaces like decks and patios can range from $15,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, materials, and features. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after understanding your specific needs and preferences.

We offer several high-quality siding options, each with distinct advantages. Vinyl siding is cost-effective, low-maintenance, and available in many colors. Fiber cement siding (like James Hardie) offers exceptional durability, fire resistance, and a premium appearance. Engineered wood provides the look of real wood with better durability and less maintenance. Natural wood siding offers timeless beauty but requires more maintenance. Stone and brick veneer provide distinctive character and excellent durability. During your consultation, we'll discuss the pros and cons of each option based on your home's architecture, your aesthetic preferences, maintenance considerations, and budget.

Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections for your exterior remodeling project. Most exterior renovations require permits, especially for structural changes, new decks, and sometimes for siding and window replacements. As a licensed contractor, we're familiar with local building codes and permit requirements in Bergen County and surrounding areas. We prepare all necessary documentation, submit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure your project meets all code requirements. This gives you peace of mind that your renovation is being completed legally and safely.

Protecting your landscaping is a priority during exterior renovations. We implement several measures to minimize impact: we use protective tarps and plywood to shield plants, shrubs, and delicate areas; we carefully plan material staging and equipment placement to avoid damage; we conduct daily cleanup to prevent debris accumulation; and we use specialized equipment when necessary to access difficult areas without harming your landscape. Before beginning work, we'll discuss any particularly valuable or sensitive landscaping elements so we can take extra precautions to protect them throughout the project.

We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive 5-year warranty on all labor and installation work for exterior remodeling projects. This covers any issues that might arise from installation or construction methods. Additionally, most materials we install come with manufacturer warranties, which vary by product: siding typically carries 25-50 year warranties, roofing 25-lifetime warranties, and windows 20+ year warranties on various components. We'll provide all warranty documentation upon project completion and register manufacturer warranties on your behalf when applicable.
