Choosing the Right Material for Coastal Homes

Coastal homes in New Jersey take a beating. The salty air. The ocean spray. The sand. The heavy winds. All year round. The exterior of these homes – roofing, siding, windows, and decking – need to be able to stand up to whatever Mother Nature can dish out. Here are a few things to consider when choosing materials.

CertainTeed Siding

Maintenance-free CertainTeed vinyl siding is designed to stand up to the elements with styles that fit your coastal vibe, like shiplap, beaded, shakes, and shingle profiles.

Composite vs. Wood

Composite decking pays for itself over time because you avoid the maintenance costs of wood. Composite is also resistant to moisture, rot, and salt damage.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

Impact-resistant shingles are engineered to flex and absorb energy so they can withstand wind, hail, and debris. And they don’t crack on impact or lose granules like traditional roof shingles.

Corrosion-Resistant Window Frames

Fiberglass and more budget-friendly vinyl window frames installed with stainless steel or specialized coastal hardware can stand up to salt spray and won’t rust or rot.
