Serving Central New Jersey
FB Roofing & Siding installs and replaces siding for homeowners throughout Holmdel Township in northern Monmouth County. Holmdel was still a small farming township as late as 1960, with fewer than three thousand residents, and grew to more than seventeen thousand by 2020. Almost all of its housing therefore dates from the decades since — substantial colonials and contemporaries on wooded, rolling lots, most of them finished with siding across at least part of the elevation.
That housing is now old enough that a good deal of it is on its second conversation about the walls. We install vinyl, insulated vinyl and James Hardie fiber cement, and we are a James Hardie preferred contractor. Every project starts with a free written estimate and an honest look at what is behind the panels.
One trusted local contractor for everything that protects your home — roof, siding, gutters, windows and doors.
Premium replacement windows and entry doors that improve efficiency, comfort and the look of your home.
FB Roofing & Siding provides complete siding services throughout Holmdel, including full siding replacement, new installation, targeted panel and trim repair, and insulated siding upgrades, along with custom design work such as accent gables, board and batten and trim packages. On a large two-story home the wall area is substantial, and that matters twice over: it is more surface across which any fading or color mismatch will show, and more wall across which insulated siding can reduce thermal bridging and cut heating and cooling load. We will tell you honestly whether a partial repair will blend on your elevation or whether you are better served doing the whole face. Most homes are completed in several days to about a week depending on size, the number of elevations, trim detailing and weather.
Two things shape a Holmdel siding job more than anything else: the trees and the facade.
Take the trees first. Much of the township sits under mature cover on rolling, wooded ground, and shade is the single biggest influence on how siding ages here. North and east elevations that stay damp under oak and pine are where dark streaking and green surface growth show up first. Homeowners frequently read that as the siding failing when what they are actually looking at is growth on panels that are otherwise perfectly sound, and the two situations call for completely different responses. Tree cover also holds debris against the wall, keeps moisture lingering at the base of the siding, and now and then puts a limb through panels and trim during a storm. Where a wall has been damp for years, the question worth settling before anyone quotes a number is whether moisture has reached the sheathing behind the panels — so we inspect the sheathing beneath first and price second.
Then the facade. A great many Holmdel homes were built with a masonry or stone treatment across part of the front elevation and siding everywhere else, often with a different material again in the gables. Those transitions are the visible seams of the entire job. The profile and color on the sides has to sit correctly against the stone rather than compete with it, and the joint has to shed water away from the wall rather than let it track behind. Where a homeowner wants a real visible change, altering the gable material to board and batten or a shake pattern usually does more for the front elevation than changing the field color does.
On material, the shaded, wooded lots are where James Hardie fiber cement earns its place: it holds paint and it stands up to impact, which matters where falling limbs are a genuine possibility rather than a theoretical one. On the more open sites a quality vinyl profile is often all a house needs, and where a wall is coming off anyway, insulated vinyl is worth pricing at the same time. Fading, cracking and panels that are bowing are the clearest signals that the existing material has reached the end of its service life rather than simply needing a wash.
One Holmdel-specific note worth making: on a wooded lot, siding and gutters are part of the same problem. Water that overshoots a blocked gutter runs down the wall it was supposed to protect, and the base of the siding is where that shows up. If the walls are being looked at, it is the right moment to look at the gutters too.

FB Roofing & Siding has served Central New Jersey since 1972. We built this company on doing right by our neighbors — showing up when we say we will, using materials that last, and standing behind every job long after the crew leaves.
That is why so much of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers across the communities we serve.
The team really exceeded my expectations with their installation work. You can tell they pay attention to every detail, from the precise cuts around windows and doors to making sure all the lines are perfectly straight. Now when I pull into my driveway, I am honestly amazed at how different my house looks.
