What New Jersey requires of a siding contractor
Four things to check on any quote. Sources: NJ Division of Consumer Affairs and N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7.
Registered with the state
Every business that sells or makes home improvements in New Jersey must register with the Division of Consumer Affairs every year, and must show its registration number in its ads, contracts and business documents. Look for the number on the quote.
Insured
Registration requires commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, plus workers' compensation unless exempt.
In writing
New Jersey requires a written contract for home improvement work over $500.
Permit question answered
Replacing existing siding on a one- or two-family home is normally ordinary maintenance under the state construction code, so no permit is needed. Polypropylene siding is the exception.
Common questions
How much does new siding cost in New Jersey?
There is no official New Jersey average, but the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report puts a typical vinyl siding replacement at $17,950 and fiber cement at $21,485 nationally. Your price depends on wall area, stories, trim, and what is under the old siding. See our New Jersey siding cost guide.
Is Siding Compass a contractor?
No. We are a free guide and quote service. We pass your request to one independent, New Jersey-registered siding contractor who serves your town, and that contractor gives you a written quote.
Why one contractor instead of several?
Lead sites often sell one request to several contractors at once, so homeowners get a burst of sales calls. We send each request to one contractor.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. The contractor pays us a referral fee only if you hire them. You never pay us.
Do I need a permit to replace siding in New Jersey?
Usually not. Replacing existing siding on a one- or two-family home is ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, which needs no permit. Polypropylene siding is the exception, and local zoning or association rules can still apply.
