New siding does more than just make your home look brand new; it protects your walls from South Jersey’s humid summers and freezing winters. But with so many options in the tri-county area, finding a reliable vinyl siding contractor in South Jersey can feel overwhelming.
You need a contractor who understands local building codes, uses high-quality materials, and stands behind their work. At T.A. Hughes III Roofing, we bring the same certified attention to detail to your siding as we do to your roof.
Why Vinyl Siding is the Top Choice for South Jersey Homes
In our area, wood siding can rot due to humidity, and aluminum can dent during hailstorms. This is why vinyl remains the king of curb appeal in Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties.
- Durability: Modern vinyl is engineered to resist high winds (up to 110+ mph). This is crucial for the Nor’easters that roll through our region.
- Low Maintenance: For busy homeowners in towns like Voorhees and Moorestown, the biggest selling point is that vinyl never needs painting. A simple wash with a hose keeps it looking fresh.
- Energy Efficiency: We offer insulated vinyl siding options. These have a foam backing that wraps your home in a thermal blanket, helping to lower your heating and cooling bills.
The 4-Step Checklist for Hiring a Siding Contractor
Don’t leave your home’s exterior to chance. Use this checklist to vet potential contractors.
1. Check for Valid NJ Licensing and Insurance
Never hire a contractor without a valid New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. This protects you from liability if a worker gets hurt on your property. A legitimate pro will be happy to show you their proof of insurance.
2. Look for Local Experience (Not Storm Chasers)
After a big storm, out-of-state companies often knock on doors in Deptford and Mt. Laurel. They might offer a cheap price, but they often do patchy work and leave town before you notice the problems. Always choose a company with a physical address in the area—like our headquarters in Logan Township—that has served the community for years.
3. Ask About “The Layer Underneath” (House Wrap)
A great siding job isn’t just about the vinyl you see. It is about the house wrap (like Tyvek) and insulation board underneath. This layer is your home’s raincoat. Ask your contractor how they waterproof windows and corners. If they can’t answer clearly, look elsewhere.
4. Written Estimates vs. Guesstimates
Ensure your quote includes material costs, labor, waste disposal, and trim work. Avoid vague “napkin math.” You deserve a transparent price before work begins.
Red Flags: When to Say “No” to a Contractor
Be careful if you hear any of these during a consultation:
- High Pressure Sales: “Sign today for a 20% discount” is a classic warning sign. A good deal should still be good tomorrow.
- Full Cash Upfront: Reputable contractors generally ask for a deposit, not the full amount before work starts.
- No References: If they can’t show you a house they sided in Washington Township or a nearby town, they might lack the experience you need.
