Premium Siding Installation Done Right
New siding transforms your home's curb appeal, improves energy efficiency, and protects against weather damage. iHome Designs offers expert siding installation services using premium materials from industry-leading manufacturers like CertainTeed, James Hardie, and LP SmartSide.
We install vinyl siding, James Hardie fiber cement siding, engineered wood siding, and cedar shake siding. Each material offers unique benefits — our specialists help you choose the perfect option based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance requirements.
Our siding installation process includes thorough removal of old siding, inspection and repair of underlying sheathing, installation of moisture barriers, and precise fitting of new siding with proper ventilation. We handle every detail to ensure your new siding looks flawless and performs for decades.
Serving Bergen County homeowners in Oakland, Wyckoff, Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Hawthorne, and throughout Northern New Jersey. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and detailed written estimate.
Our Siding Installation Process
From initial consultation to final walkthrough, every siding project follows a meticulous process to ensure a perfect result:
1. Free Exterior Inspection & Consultation
We evaluate your existing siding, inspect the sheathing and moisture barriers beneath, and assess your home's architectural style. We bring physical material samples so you can see and feel each option in your home's natural lighting.
2. Material Selection & Color Matching
Choose from hundreds of colors and profiles across vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and cedar. We use manufacturer visualization tools to show how each option will look on your specific home. We coordinate trim, soffit, and fascia colors for a cohesive design.
3. Complete Old Siding Removal
We remove all existing siding down to the sheathing, exposing any hidden rot, insect damage, or moisture issues. Unlike contractors who overlay new siding on old, we fix problems before they're hidden — protecting your investment for decades.
4. Sheathing Repair & Moisture Barrier
Damaged OSB or plywood sheathing is replaced. We install Tyvek HomeWrap or equivalent moisture barrier across the entire surface, properly taped and sealed at every window, door, and penetration point.
5. Precision Siding Installation
Certified installers fit your new siding with manufacturer-specified fastening patterns, ensuring proper overlap, alignment, and expansion gaps. J-channels, corner posts, and trim are cut precisely for a clean, professional appearance.
6. Final Walkthrough & Warranty Registration
A project manager walks you through the completed work, checking every detail. We clean the entire work area, register your manufacturer warranty (up to lifetime), and provide maintenance guidelines specific to your material choice.

Siding Considerations for Northern New Jersey
- • Freeze-Thaw Durability: NJ winters cycle between freezing and thawing 50+ times per season. Fiber cement and high-quality vinyl handle this without cracking; cheap vinyl and wood can fail prematurely.
- • Moisture & Mold Resistance: Bergen County's humid summers promote mold growth behind siding. Proper moisture barriers and ventilated rainscreen systems are essential — we install them on every project.
- • Historic District Compliance: Several Bergen County towns (Ridgewood, Glen Rock) have architectural review boards. We work within local guidelines and recommend materials that meet historic district requirements.
- • Energy Efficiency: Adding insulated siding or foam-backed panels can reduce heating costs by 10-20%. Combined with proper Tyvek installation, your home becomes significantly more energy-efficient.
