A Princeton Contractor Who Respects the House
Princeton is a town of consequence in its architecture. Colonial, Late Victorian, and mid-19th-century revival homes fill the 370-acre historic district, from the mansions of the Western Section near Marquand Park to the tighter, storied streets of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. On homes like these, an exterior project is as much about getting the details and materials right as it is about weather protection.
Exteriors by Global Home approaches Princeton work the way the town expects: roofing, siding, windows, doors, and gutters planned as one exterior, with material and profile choices that suit the era of the house and, where the property sits in a historic district, the review that comes with it. The goal is a home that performs against New Jersey winters and still reads true to its character.

Roofing, Windows, Siding, Doors, and Gutters, Installed by One Princeton Team
Replacement Windows
On Princeton’s period homes, windows carry the character, so getting the profile and sightlines right matters. We install Marvin and Marvin Infinity fiberglass windows plus true wood units, custom-built to match original openings, muntin patterns, and the look a historic elevation demands.
Siding Replacement
We install James Hardie fiber cement, whose crisp trim and ColorPlus finishes suit Princeton’s traditional homes, along with vinyl, stone, and stucco remediation for the failed stucco common on older and estate-scale houses. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor, every board goes on to spec.
Roof Replacement
We replace roofs with Owens Corning architectural shingles installed to Platinum Preferred standards and with standing seam and metal systems, a strong fit for the steep, complex, and dormered rooflines found across Princeton’s older housing stock.
Entry and Patio Doors
The entry sets the tone on a Princeton facade. We install entry doors, storm doors, and patio doors in French and bi-fold styles, with a portico option that respects the home’s proportions.
Gutters and Guards
Princeton’s mature tree canopy is beautiful and hard on gutters. We install seamless aluminum and, on finer homes, half-round and copper systems, paired with gutter guards that keep leaves out and water off the walls and foundation.
Full Exterior Projects
For an estate or a full period restoration, a full exterior replacement lets roofing, siding, windows, doors, and gutters be designed, detailed, and sequenced as one coordinated project, and phased sensibly, so the whole house is brought forward without losing its Princeton character.

Price note. On Princeton’s older and estate-scale homes, the price is often driven by roof and trim complexity, sheathing and moisture repairs uncovered during work, premium materials like copper or true-wood windows, and historic-district requirements.

Permit Notes for Princeton Exterior Projects
Exterior work in Princeton is permitted under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code through the municipal construction office, and homes in the historic district carry an added layer of preservation review. We plan for both. Confirm specifics for your property before scope is finalized.
NJ UCC Construction Permits
Roofing, siding, and window and door replacement are regulated under the NJ Uniform Construction Code and typically require a municipal construction permit, with inspections by subcode. We prepare and submit the application.
Historic Preservation Review
Much of Princeton sits inside a 370-acre historic district, where exterior changes, including roofing material and color, siding, and windows, can require preservation review before a permit is issued. We plan materials with that review in mind.
Contractor Registration
New Jersey requires a registered Home Improvement Contractor for this work. Our NJ registration is 13VH01194900, so submittals and homeowner protections are handled correctly.
Inspections and Closeout
Each permitted subcode is inspected on its own timeline. We coordinate inspection scheduling and provide the documentation to close the project out cleanly.
Permit note: Confirm specifics for your property before scope is finalized.
From First Visit to Final Warranty in Princeton
On Princeton’s homes, a good exterior project depends on order: selections, measurements, permit and preservation review, scheduling, installation, and warranty paperwork, each handled in sequence.
01
Step 1.
A project consultant reviews the home and its architecture, listens to your goals, and outlines material paths that fit the era and, where relevant, the historic district.
02
Step 2.
Windows, doors, roofing, siding, gutters, profiles, colors, and trim are measured and documented, with attention to matching original sightlines, before ordering.
03
Step 3.
The written estimate is tied to the real scope, and both NJ permit needs and any Princeton preservation review are mapped out.
04
Step 4.
Materials, crew timing, access on tight historic lots, and weather windows are coordinated before installation begins.
05
Step 5.
Certified crews install to Owens Corning and James Hardie specification, with careful flashing, fastening, drainage, and daily cleanup around established landscaping.
06
Step 6.
We review the finished work, protect and clean the site, and hand over your manufacturer and Platinum Plus labor warranty documents.
