Which Ocean Township is this page about?
New Jersey has two Ocean Townships, and mix-ups happen. This one is in Monmouth County, created in 1849 out of Shrewsbury Township, and it takes in Oakhurst, Wanamassa, Wayside, West Deal and the neighborhoods around Deal Lake. The other sits in Ocean County and includes Waretown on Barnegat Bay. If you live near Route 35, Route 66 or Joe Palaia Park, you're in the right place. Call (732) 419-1462 and tell us your street.
Signs your Ocean Township siding is ready to go
Siding on many township homes went up in one wave decades ago, and it tends to give out in the same few ways.
Chalky, faded panels
Rub your hand along the sunny side of the house. If it comes away white and the color has gone patchy, the vinyl has lost its UV protection and turns brittle soon after.
Cracks after a cold snap
Old vinyl stiffens in winter. A ladder or a hard gust can crack it, and every crack lets rain run behind the panels and onto the sheathing.
Wavy or buckled courses
Panels nailed too tightly can't move with the seasons, so they ripple in July heat. The rippling usually shows across a whole wall at once.
Soft spots under windows
Press gently on the siding below each sill. Give or a hollow sound often means water has been slipping past old wood trim and rotting the framing behind it.
Suburban streets, lake breezes and the roofs over them
Ocean Township has no single downtown. It's a patchwork of neighborhoods that mostly filled in after World War II, ranches on one block and split-levels or colonials on the next. Many of those houses are now on their second or third roof, and a fair amount of original siding is still hanging on.
The eastern side, toward Deal and Allenhurst, catches a steady ocean breeze and a little salt. Around Deal Lake, wind crosses open water and lifts shingle edges on the lakeside streets. Inland toward Route 18 and Wayside, shade trees matter more: leaves fill gutters and damp north slopes grow algae.
That mix is why we look at the whole exterior on a visit. A roof replacement planned with new siding shares the flashing at every roof-to-wall joint.
How a re-siding job runs on an Ocean Township split-level
Split-levels have more corners, roof-to-wall joints and mixed materials than most houses, so the order of work matters.
Measure and choose the product
We measure every wall, note the trim and window details, and walk you through insulated vinyl, fiber cement such as James Hardie, or engineered wood.
First visitStrip the old siding
Old panels and loose backer board come off one side at a time, so the house is never open on every wall when a summer thunderstorm rolls in.
Day 1Repair sheathing and wrap
Rotted sheathing is replaced, then house wrap goes on with lapped seams. Windows and the spots where lower roofs meet upper walls get flashing tape and kick-out flashing.
Day 1 to Day 2Hang siding and cap the trim
Siding goes up with proper nail spacing so it can expand and contract. Window and door trim gets aluminum or PVC capping, leaving no bare wood to paint.
Day 2 to Day 4Final walk and cleanup
We walk every wall with you, fix anything that's off, and run a magnet over the yard and driveway for stray nails before the last truck pulls out.
