New Jersey's dense, older housing stock meets freeze-thaw winters and coastal storms — much of the state's siding is at or past the age where repair-vs-replace becomes the real question. Across the 167 New Jersey cities we track, an average of 69.8% of homes were built before 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024) with average annual rainfall of 45.8 in/yr (NOAA 1991–2020 normals).

How to use these guides

Each city page pairs siding how-it-works guidance — warning signs, the inspection process, materials, repair vs. replace — with that city's real housing-age and rainfall data, so you can see which pattern dominates locally. When you talk to contractors, ask how their plan accounts for the local weather, and whether they probed for rot before quoting a scope.
