Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst dominates the bulk of New Hanover Township's 22.334 square miles; the civilian Cookstown section occupies a relatively narrow strip on the western edge, where the flat, open terrain offers no topographic break to incoming nor'easters. Burlington County's humid continental climate means hard freeze-thaw cycling from November through March — caulk joints crack, siding seams pull apart at corners, and shallow-pitch flashing lifts where it was never sealed against repeated ice loading. Summer afternoon thunderstorms through the Pine Barrens corridor are intense, pushing hail and wind-uplift loads onto exterior assemblies that may already be at or past design life. Mid-century vinyl and aluminum cladding in Cookstown frequently has sealant failure at corners and joints, which is why substrate assessment before any re-clad is the correct starting point rather than a surface-only replacement.
Same craftsmen, same materials, same warranties as any in-home contractor — without the in-home sales pitch.
Full tear-offs and new installations using GAF and CertainTeed architectural shingles rated for Burlington County's freeze-thaw winters and summer storm loads. Flashing replaced at every penetration — no shortcuts on step, valley, or drip-edge.
Vinyl, fiber cement, and composite panels installed over proper housewrap and drainage gap. Mid-century homes in Cookstown often have aging aluminum or thin vinyl that gaps at corners — we start from solid substrate out.
Seamless aluminum gutters in 5-inch K-style and 6-inch half-round profiles. Downspout extensions routed away from slab edges. Gutter guard options for homes surrounded by mature tree canopy.
Double-hung and casement replacements in vinyl and composite frames. Proper flashing tape at rough openings prevents the slow water intrusion that ruins OSB sheathing before it's visible from inside.
New Hanover Township's shared permit arrangement with North Hanover — both route through the construction office at 41 Schoolhouse Road — means the application never goes to the wrong desk. We are licensed under New Jersey's Home Improvement Contractor registry, carry liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job, and back the finished work with a written workmanship warranty. The people who scope the project and the people who swing the hammer are the same crew; nothing is handed off to a subcontractor after the contract is signed. Estimate is written and itemized before materials are ordered.
