Home Exterior Work Planned Around the Whole House
Montclair is a town of houses with strong opinions. Victorians, Tudors, center-hall Colonials, and early-1900s estates sit on tree-lined streets where the exterior of a home is part of the neighborhood’s character. Exteriors by Global Home works with Montclair homeowners on replacement windows, entry and patio doors, siding, roofing, gutters, and full exterior planning that respects the age and style of the house.
These homes bring specific challenges. Original wood windows have often gone drafty and hard to operate. Cedar and older siding needs a plan, not just paint. Slate and aging asphalt roofs show their wear in the valleys and flashings first. A heavy tree canopy fills gutters fast and drives ice-dam problems at the eaves. The best outcome comes from reading the exterior as one system: weather protection, energy performance, water management, and an appearance that fits the block and, where it applies, the historic district.
What This Page Covers
One exterior plan. Windows, doors, roofing, siding, stone accents, stucco remediation, porticos, gutters, and warranty support from one team.
Local project review. Product selection, written pricing, New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits, historic district review where it applies, access, and cleanup are checked before scheduling.
Clear next step. The estimate gives you a real scope and price for your specific Montclair home, not a generic figure.
Windows, Siding, Roofing, Doors, and Gutters From One Exterior Team
Each service can stand alone, but Montclair homes usually reward a coordinated plan, because the details that make an older house look right, trim, color, proportions, and drainage, all connect. Planning them together keeps the finished home consistent with itself.
Replacement Windows
Custom replacement windows for Montclair homes in fiberglass, wood, double-hung, casement, and specialty shapes chosen to match the proportions of an older facade. On historic and landmarked homes, the window style and material are part of what keeps the house true to its period.
Siding Replacement
Whole-home siding systems built for New Jersey weather and for the look Montclair homeowners expect. Fiber cement gives the crisp lines of painted wood with far less upkeep, and stucco remediation addresses moisture that has worked in behind an aging finish.
Roof Replacement
Roof replacement for Montclair homes, from architectural asphalt shingles to metal systems. Steep older rooflines with dormers, valleys, and slate history need careful flashing, underlayment, and ventilation, which is where leaks tend to begin.
Entry and Patio Doors
Entry, patio, French, and storm doors selected for security, weather sealing, and a style that fits a period home. On a Montclair Colonial or Victorian, the right door restores the front of the house rather than fighting it.
Gutters and Guards
Seamless gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards planned around the roofline and Montclair’s heavy tree cover. Guard selection here is about more than convenience, since clogged gutters are a direct path to ice dams and water in the walls during a New Jersey winter.
Full Exterior Projects
Windows, doors, roofing, siding, gutters, stone, and a covered entry can be planned together so a Montclair home reads as one intentional design when the work is done. Coordinating the sequence also protects historic details worth keeping.

Permit Notes for Montclair Exterior Projects
Most Montclair exterior projects should be checked against township requirements before work begins. Montclair enforces the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code through its Building Office, and a second layer applies to historic properties. Confirm your address status before ordering materials.
Construction Permits Under the New Jersey UCC
Under the state code, replacing roofing or siding with like material is treated as ordinary repair when the area stays under 25 percent within a year. Re-roofing, re-siding, and window replacement beyond that generally need a construction permit. Roofing and siding are minor work with limited plan review, so these permits often move quickly. Montclair asks that completed applications be hand-delivered to the Building Office.
Historic Preservation Review
This is the step many Montclair homeowners miss. For a home that is a locally designated landmark or sits inside a local historic district, a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission is required before a permit is issued for exterior changes, including siding, windows, doors, porches, and changes to the exterior elevation. National or State Register listings are honorary and do not trigger this review, but local designation does.
New Jersey Contractor Registration
New Jersey requires home improvement contractors to be registered with the state and to show the registration number. Exteriors by Global Home holds New Jersey registration 13VH01194900.
Forms and Certifications
The Building Office publishes downloadable forms, including a Roof Installation Certification, along with an overview of the construction permit process. These are worth reviewing before scheduling so nothing holds up the start date.
Permit note: township requirements, historic review, and fees can change. Confirm final requirements with the Township of Montclair Building Office and, where it applies, the Historic Preservation Commission before construction starts.
