Exterior Remodeling · Dover, Morris County
Dover homes
sit on tight town lots.
Every detail shows.
Dover housing runs from 1920s colonials and capes near downtown to post-war colonials and expanded ranches on blocks toward Richards Avenue and East McFarland Street. What is on most walls now is vinyl from the 1980s or 90s that still stands but looks dated, or aluminum that has been painted twice and is failing at corner caps.

Pricing guide
What exterior projects typically cost in Dover.
Honest typical ranges for New Jersey homes. Your written estimate may differ based on square footage, materials, and what's included. We never start without a signed fixed-price agreement.
Price matters, but so does what is included: wall prep, windows, roofing, stone, and warranty in one contract.
Whole-home exterior remodel
Siding, windows, roofing, stone accents, and trim as one written contract. Typical on larger colonials and wooded-lot homes.
$40,000–$150,000
Siding and windows together
Wall panels flashed at every opening with matching trim. Scope depends on window count, stories, and material grade.
Quoted on site
Siding-only project
Vinyl, insulated vinyl, shake, or Hardie on walls only. See our siding price guide or the vinyl siding page for typical installed ranges.
Free estimate. Written schedule.
We measure on site as your contractor. You get a written price.
North Sussex Street and blocks near Hurd Park carry street-facing walls that set the tone for the whole neighborhood. Toward West Blackwell Street, split-levels and capes need tear-off planning before any number goes on paper. Most calls here are homeowners ready to stop patching faded panels, not emergency demo days.
Today's James Hardie, insulated vinyl, ASCEND composite, and cultured stone look nothing like what went up in the 1990s and 2000s. Better panels, real window wrapping, and a crew that handles colonial trim and porch columns without patching around them.

What Dover homes need
What is on the walls now, and what is behind them.
Homes here were built mostly between 1920 and 1980, split between pre-war colonials, capes, and two-family details near downtown and post-war colonials, split-levels, and expanded ranches toward the town borders.
A lot of what is on those walls now went up when the house changed hands in the 1980s or 90s. Panels still stand but the color is gone, J-channel has opened at windows, and corner caps look tired from the sidewalk. When we open a wall at the estimate, we find what the last crew missed: vinyl-over-vinyl, skipped housewrap, sometimes original wood clapboard that was never meant to stay hidden this long. The number we write comes from what we find, not what it looks like from the curb.
Colonials with wide trim boards often need fiber cement or a heavier insulated lap so gable ends and porch columns read correctly from Sussex Street. Capes on interior streets do well with 4-inch or 4.5-inch insulated vinyl when every opening is sealed before panels go on.
Dover grew as a Morris County mill town along the Rockaway River, and the downtown street grid still reflects that 19th-century village layout today.
Near Town of Dover
Dover is a compact Morris County town with colonials, capes, and multi-family conversions on walkable blocks along the Rockaway River. Hurd Park and the historic downtown blocks frame streets where every front elevation reads from the sidewalk and the commute puts curb appeal on a short list.
Homes within a few blocks of downtown carry decorative trim, porch columns, and multi-story gables where panel profile and trim color matter as much as material grade. The dense town streetscape sets buyer expectations for siding lines, window wraps, and porch details visible from every approach.
Tight lots leave nothing to hide on the street side
Smaller lots near downtown and Hurd Park put trim color, windows, and siding lines on full display from the sidewalk. We plan colors and panel styles that work with the existing roofline and any brick or stone accents.
Walkable blocks need careful staging
Dense town streets mean neighbors see every step of the job. We sequence staging and daily cleanup so sight lines stay clean through final walkthrough.
Resale here rewards exteriors that fit the block
Buyers notice. A written fixed price and HomeLock Extended Warranty give you paperwork that goes with the house when you sell and holds up at inspection.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
How exterior work differs block to block in Dover.
Downtown Dover
Classic colonials and capes near the downtown blocks sit on lots with high visibility from neighborhood streets. When old vinyl comes off here, we close-wrap every window and door opening before new panels go on. Porch columns and original wood casings need custom capping, not stock J-channel.
North Sussex Street
Blocks along North Sussex Street carry larger colonials with decorative trim and multi-story gables where panel profile matters from the sidewalk. Faded vinyl from the 1980s with failing J-channel is the typical call before new panels go on.
East McFarland Street
Post-war colonials and split-levels along East McFarland Street have longer side walls and more trim to cap at once. Full tear-off with housewrap shows what is behind the panels before any fixed price is written.
Hurd Park area
Homes near Hurd Park often carry aluminum or early vinyl that has never been fully replaced. Corner caps and window surrounds fail before field panels on homes that went through one cover-over already.
Richards Avenue blocks
Walkable blocks along Richards Avenue carry street-facing walls that set the tone for the whole neighborhood. Combination jobs with siding, fascia, gutters, and windows are common when homeowners update the full front elevation at once.
