James Hardie Siding Contractor in New Brunswick, NJ

New Brunswick is the largest city in Middlesex County and one of New Jersey's most architecturally diverse — about 55,300 residents in roughly 5.8 square miles, with housing that spans late-1800s Victorians near Rutgers, early-1900s American Foursquares in the wards, mid-century homes in the outer sections, and newer construction in the redeveloping downtown core.

The city's residential wards — particularly the Sixth Ward and the streets around Buccleuch Park — hold some of the finest Victorian-era homes in Middlesex County. These projects need careful, period-appropriate exterior work. We use James Hardie HardiePlank in narrow profiles to match original clapboard widths, custom HardieTrim to replicate decorative window casings and corner boards, HardieShingle for original cedar accents, and color packages that respect the streetscape character.

Around Rutgers University and Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, we work on a mix of older homes (often converted to multi-unit residential) and newer construction. These projects sometimes involve coordination with property managers, faculty owners, or institutional tenants — but the exterior work itself follows the same standards we apply citywide.

New Brunswick's outer sections — toward the Edison and Highland Park borders — have a more standard suburban profile with mid-century ranches and splits. Material recommendations here mirror nearby Middlesex townships: James Hardie ColorPlus for re-sides, GAF or Owens Corning architectural shingles for roof replacements, 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters with oversized downspouts. Standard for the region.
