Exterior Remodeling · Westwood, Bergen County
Westwood village homes
face the train walk.
Make the exterior a selling point.
Westwood mixes mid-century colonials and ranches on Center Avenue and toward Washington Township with village-era homes near downtown dating to the 1920s and 30s underneath whatever siding is showing today. What is on most walls now is siding from the 1980s or 90s that still stands but looks dated along blocks where the walk to the train station puts every exterior on display morning and evening.

Most calls here are homeowners getting ready for a sale, stopping a recurring leak, or ready to stop repainting the same trim every three years. They want the whole exterior addressed at once with a fixed price and documentation that holds up at inspection.
Today's insulated vinyl and aluminum-capped trim perform nothing like the products that went up on Westwood homes in the 1970s. NJ Vinyl Siding probes and tests before writing a proposal so the scope is accurate before demo begins.

What Westwood homes need
What is on the walls now, and what is behind them.
Westwood built most of its housing stock between 1945 and 1985. Colonials and ranches dominate the blocks around Center Avenue and toward Washington Township. Village-era homes near downtown date to the 1920s and 30s, with original wood framing underneath whatever cladding is showing today.
A lot of what is on those walls now went up fast when the house changed hands. Panels still stand but the color is gone and joints have opened. Low-pitch roof sections on ranches and cape cods are chronic water entry points where repeated caulking does not hold. When we open a wall at the estimate, we find skipped housewrap, thin wrap at window corners, sometimes aluminum from a cover-over decades ago.
Westwood's active resale market means buyers and realtors pay close attention to exterior documentation. A fixed-price contract and transferable HomeLock Extended Warranty give sellers the paperwork that supports asking price and reduces negotiation at inspection.
Westwood was incorporated as a borough in 1894, built as a commuter town along the Northern Branch of the Erie Railroad with a downtown commercial district along Broadway that has been active since the early 20th century.
Near Borough of Westwood
Westwood Train Station sits on Center Avenue in the heart of downtown, serving the NJ Transit Pascack Valley Line with direct service into Manhattan. The station anchors a walkable village center where colonials and ranches within walking distance sit on some of Westwood's most visible blocks.
Exterior condition on these streets is on display every morning and evening on the walk to and from the platform. When siding from the 1980s fades or trim capping fails at a window corner, realtors and neighbors notice before field panels give up from the curb.
Westwood ranches and cape cods have low-pitch roof sections where wall-to-roof flashing is a chronic problem
Low-slope roof-to-wall transitions on mid-century Westwood homes are common points of water entry that repeated caulking does not fix. We strip and reflash every transition before siding is hung so the problem is resolved at the source.
Original aluminum siding on Westwood homes has reached end of useful life
Mid-century aluminum siding oxidizes from the inside. Re-painting buys two seasons at best. We remove the aluminum, inspect sheathing, install proper housewrap, and quote a complete replacement with a fixed price before any material is removed.
Westwood buyers and realtors check exterior documentation before listing
The Westwood market is active and buyers are informed. A fixed-price contract and transferable HomeLock Extended Warranty give sellers documentation that supports their asking price and reduces negotiation at inspection.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
How exterior work differs block to block in Westwood.
Center Avenue
Center Avenue carries Westwood's densest run of village colonials and post-war ranches with long street-facing walls visible on the walk to the train station. Faded siding from the 1980s and 90s with failing trim capping is the usual call before insulated panels and sealed openings go on.
Westwood downtown
Westwood downtown blocks carry colonials and cape cods close to Broadway where exterior condition is visible to foot traffic and prospective buyers. We plan panel color and trim that work with the scale of tight downtown lots so the finished job reads clearly from the street.
Kinderkamack Road area
Kinderkamack Road area carries mid-century ranches and colonials where low-pitch roof-to-wall transitions are common water entry points. We strip and reflash every transition before hanging siding so the problem is resolved at the source rather than caulked again.
Washington Township border
Streets toward the Washington Township border mix colonials and split-levels where vinyl-over-vinyl cover-over from decades ago may still hide skipped housewrap. We write the job from what we find at tear-off, not what it looks like from the curb.
River Vale border
Blocks toward the River Vale border carry post-war colonials and ranches where a full tear-off with insulated panels and sealed openings is standard when dated siding finally comes off. We document wall conditions at the estimate before writing a fixed price.

What Westwood homeowners tell us before they hire.
“We are thinking about selling in the next year and want to know what the exterior work will actually cost before we commit”
Every NJ Vinyl Siding proposal is a fixed price covering labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. We assess the full exterior, quote a number, and the number does not change after the contract is signed.
“We have a cape cod with dormers and every spring we get moisture on the ceiling below the dormer cheek walls”
Dormer cheek wall moisture is almost always a flashing failure where the roof meets the vertical wall. We remove the siding at the cheek wall, install step flashing and housewrap, and re-install so the assembly is weatherproof.
“We replaced the siding five years ago and the corners are already lifting and the caulk at the windows is cracking”
Corner lift and caulk failure this early means the installation had expansion or fastening problems. We document the condition, identify the cause, and quote the repair at a fixed price before we touch anything.
Westwood FAQ
Quick answers for Westwood homeowners.
Does NJ Vinyl Siding serve Westwood, NJ?
Yes. We cover Center Avenue, Westwood downtown, Kinderkamack Road area, and blocks toward the Washington Township and River Vale borders, with free on-site estimates and no trip fee in Bergen County. Call or text (973) 487-3704.
How much does exterior remodeling cost in Westwood?
Most whole-home exterior jobs here run $25,000–$70,000 depending on wall area, window count, tear-off scope, and material grade. We quote after an on-site visit with a written line-item proposal. Phone estimates on mid-century colonials and cape cods are not reliable.
We have a cape cod with a dormer cheek wall that leaks every heavy rain. Why does it keep coming back?
Recurring dormer moisture is a flashing failure, not a caulk issue. We remove siding at the cheek wall, install step flashing and housewrap, and re-install so the assembly is weatherproof from the inside out.
