Siding FAQ
Answers to Your Most Common Siding Questions
Thinking about new siding but not sure where to start? You’re not alone. At New Jersey Seamless, we’ve been answering homeowners’ questions for over 20 years. Below are the most frequently asked questions about siding types, installation, maintenance, and more.
1. How do I know if my home needs new siding?
Most siding projects take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on home size, weather conditions and whether any special trim or underlying repairs are needed. With our seamless metal siding, the precision measurement and custom fabrication take a little extra time — but this ensures the flawless fit and long-term performance that justifies the investment.
2. What type of siding is the most durable?
While traditional options like vinyl or fiber cement have their merits, the very best in durability is our seamless metal siding. It is manufactured in aluminum or steel, features a Kynar finish, and comes backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
In short: the best siding is our seamless metal siding system, engineered to withstand severe weather, impact, fading and maintenance.
3. Which siding should I choose for New Jersey weather?
New Jersey’s climate demands siding that resists moisture, storm winds, and seasonal temperature swings. Our seamless metal siding is custom-cut on-site to eliminate horizontal seams, reducing opportunities for water infiltration or insect intrusion. The metal construction (aluminum or steel) plus the Kynar finish provides exceptional resilience.
With our lifetime transferable warranty, you’re covered long after other siding materials may require replacement.
4. What is the cost of new siding?
Pricing varies depending on material, the size of your home, and the complexity of installation. While vinyl may appear less expensive up front, premium materials like our seamless metal siding offer far greater longevity and lower long-term maintenance costs.
We provide free, detailed estimates so you can compare true value — especially when you consider the lifetime warranty and the performance of metal siding.
5. Is siding replacement a good investment?
Absolutely. New siding enhances curb appeal, boosts energy efficiency and increases home value. When you opt for our seamless metal siding with its outstanding durability, you’re investing in a siding system that will perform for decades — and one that can even be transferred if you sell your home.
6. How long does siding installation take?
Most siding projects take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on home size, weather conditions and whether any special trim or underlying repairs are needed. With our seamless metal siding, the precision measurement and custom fabrication take a little extra time — but this ensures the flawless fit and long-term performance that justifies the investment.
7. Can I choose different colours and styles?
Yes. We offer a wide range of colours, finishes and profiles. Our seamless metal siding is available in aluminium or steel substrates, coated with a Kynar finish which resists fading and retains its appearance over time. During your consultation, we’ll show you how various styles work with your home’s architecture.
8. How much maintenance is required for my siding?
With our seamless metal siding system you will enjoy very low maintenance. Because the panels are custom-cut for your home and made from metal with Kynar coating, you’ll avoid issues like fading, warping or insect damage. A rinse once in a while is typically all that’s needed — much less than repainting or patching required by other siding types.
9. When is the best time to install new siding?
Spring, summer and early fall are ideal for siding installation, but we also schedule projects year-round. Since our seamless metal siding is crafted for long life, the season you install is less important than hiring a professional team and doing it right the first time.
