GLF Siding is based in Hopatcong and are your local family-owned professional contractors for siding repairs, installs, new windows, and trim replacements.
If you own a home in Hopatcong, you're probably well aware of the relentless weather. Between the lake winds, humidity, and winters that freeze, thaw, and freeze again, your house and siding takes a beating. We've been doing siding work around Lake Hopatcong for years, and the homes near the water and up in the hills need more attention than most people realize.
Serving Hopatcong & Surrounding Areas
Living near the lake is a great experience until you start noticing panels pulling away from your house in the spring. The wind off Lake Hopatcong tests every nail and seam on your exterior. Add in the moisture that hangs around waterfront properties, and you have the perfect recipe for rot, mold, and warping.
We receive calls all the time from homeowners who thought they just had a small issue (maybe one loose panel or a crack near a window) and it turns out water has been sneaking behind the siding for months. In Hopatcong's climate, problems don't stay small for long.
We offer emergency siding repairs across sussex county. Most of our Hopatcong jobs fall into a few categories. Wind damage is huge, especially on homes with direct lake exposure or properties on the hillsides where there's nothing to block the gusts. Panels rattle, J-channels pull loose, and corners take the worst of it.
The moisture issues are another problem. Whether you have vinyl, fiber cement, or wood, if water finds a way in around your windows, doors, or trim, it is going to cause damage. We've pulled off siding on lake-view homes and found soaked sheathing underneath that nobody knew was there.
The freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on any siding material that's not properly installed or maintained. When water gets into small cracks and then freezes, it expands and makes everything worse. By spring, what was a hairline crack in October is now a split panel that needs replacing.
A lot of homes around here were built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, which means the siding is original or close to it. Finding matching materials for older homes is something we do pretty regularly. Whether it's tracking down discontinued vinyl profiles or carefully color-matching existing panels, we take time to make sure the repairs blend in.
If your whole house needs new siding, we'll walk you through what makes sense for Hopatcong specifically and the pros and cons of every option, accounting for lake weather and temperature swings.
Drafty windows are a major expense during a Sussex County winter. We install energy-efficient windows that seal tight against the cold, keeping your heating bills down. We also specialize in replacing rotting wood trim with custom-form aluminum trim. Unlike wood, aluminum trim won’t absorb moisture, swell, or attract pests, keeping your exterior looking sharp for years.
Unlike the large companies, we do not slap some siding on your house and disappear. We take the time to figure out why the damage happened in the first place. If your siding keeps failing in the same spot, there's usually a reason such as a missing moisture barrier or bad original installation. We fix the root problem and are always willing to assist with all of your needs.
