• Vinyl. Engineered to last, Harvey vinyl windows feature multi-chamber construction, 100% virgin vinyl for a true white color, top-of-the-line block and tackle balances which never need adjustment, and the convenience of tilt-in sashes.
• Wood. When the traditional look of genuine wood is preferred, the Harvey window is your best choice. It combines the warmth and beauty of wood inside with a maintenance-free, aluminum-clad exterior.
• Impact-Resistant. Harvey impact-resistant windows were designed with rigorous coastal building codes in mind. They provide exceptional storm protection from wind, rain and wind-borne debris.
• Acoustic Vinyl. Choose the Harvey Classic vinyl acoustic window system to reduce unwanted traffic noise from aircraft, trains and automobiles.

3 Important Benefits of Vinyl Siding in New Jersey

Even with the wide array of residential siding products available on the market today, one siding product nearly always gains serious consideration from our clients, and for good reason. Given the variable climate of the Skylands region, vinyl siding in New Jersey offers a number of important advantages. Here are three of the most popular:

• Low maintenance. Vinyl siding in New Jersey is extremely easy to maintain, which for most people is its biggest selling point. Vinyl won’t rot and cannot be harmed by mold or insects. It never needs sanding or painting, and fades very little over time.

• Performance. New innovations in its chemical makeup and improved installation techniques have made vinyl one of the best performing siding choices available. Vinyl siding can withstand most weather conditions without damage. Depending on the grade, it can last for many decades, and some manufacturers are now offering lifetime transferable warranties.

• Affordability. Another appeal of vinyl siding is that it’s less expensive than wood. Medium-grade vinyl costs around $1.60 per square foot installed, while mid-grade cedar clapboard can run around $4 per square foot even before trim and paint. In addition, vinyl siding is easier and faster to install than wood, saving on the overall labor cost.

At Up and Above Contractors, our crews have years of experience in New Jersey vinyl siding installation. No other contractor in the area can match our skills and the high-quality products we use, including a full line of siding products from CertainTeed and Mastic. Call us today at (973) 531-4225 to schedule a FREE in-home consultation, where we can help you choose the products that meet your needs and provide a complete siding estimate.

8 Signs You May Need New Sussex Roofing

No one wants to wake up to a dripping ceiling, but that’s just what can happen if you neglect your Sussex roofing. After years of exposure to sun, rain, snow, ice and wind, shingles begin to show wear. With more time, curling, peeling and disintegration of shingles can lead to serious structural damage. Don’t wait until puddles appear on your floor – protect your investment by visually inspecting the condition of your roof.

So what should you take note of? One or more of the following signs could indicate a potentially serious New Jersey roof problem:

1. Shingles or tiles that are cracked, curled, worn or missing
2. Excessive granule loss in gutters from asphalt shingles
3. Split wood shingles
4. Signs of moisture, rot or mold growth
5. Signs of water damage or leakage on interior ceilings or in attic space
6. Streaks along exterior home walls
7. Storm damage
8. Ice damming

If you find any of these issues, contact Up and Above Contractors for a thorough roof inspection. Without proper experience, it can be dangerous to physically inspect a roof! Also keep in mind that even if your roof shows the signs mentioned above, you may not need a total roof replacement. Our expert roofing professionals will let you know if you are in need of a new roof, or just a few repairs. Call Up and Above today at (973) 531-4225 for a FREE in-home consultation and estimate for your home or commercial property.

Changing the World, One Family at a Time

At this time of year, Up and Above Contractors is grateful to be able to use our business to serve the community in other ways, including involvement with our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Recently we donated 12 new and five sample windows to be used for future Habitat projects that will help families in need of decent shelter right here in our area. We believe that when everyone works together we can continue to change the world, one family at a time!

How it Works
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity builds decent and affordable houses which are then sold to eligible families. The organization also does occasional rehabilitation work for families and organizations in need. Many of the construction materials are donated or purchased at a deep discount, enabling Habitat to keep costs low. There is no profit added to the sales price of a home, and no interest charged on the mortgage. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity into building their own homes and the homes of others, and their monthly mortgage payments are used to construct additional Habitat houses.

About Sussex County HFH
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity was established in 1993 by a small group of people concerned with the need for decent, affordable housing in Sussex County, New Jersey. It is a non-profit Christian organization and affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. The ministry was founded on the belief that safe and decent shelter from the elements is a basic human need.

To find out more about upcoming Habitat projects and events, visit www.sussexcountyhfh.org. For quality roofing, siding and window replacement services in Sussex, Warren or Morris counties, call Up and Above Contractors today at (973) 531-4225 for a FREE in-home consultation and estimate.

It’s Graduation – But There’s Always Time for More Learning

Welcome to the Up and Above Contractors blog! We hope you enjoy reading it, and come back often.

Many families like ours are celebrating graduations this month, when our young people transition to the next stage in life. Outside of the classroom, as parents we hope we’ve instilled in our kids the importance of working hard and finding a career that satisfies their aspirations.

When we started Up and Above back in 1993, we aspired to deliver high quality craftsmanship combined with a great customer experience. We wanted to make working with a local New Jersey contractor a memorable one. Well, 18 years later and with thousands of very satisfied customers, we think we’ve achieved that goal.

But we’re not stopping there. As we see with our kids and their education through the years, there are always new things to learn — after “graduation.” That’s why we take seriously the ongoing education that our manufacturers provide. We spend considerable time learning about new products and new techniques that not only give us an edge over other contractors but also become advantageous to you, our customer.

Give us a call at 973-531-4225 if you’re looking to improve your roofing, siding, decks, or even if you’re considering an addition. We’re local, and we — the owners — will personally return your call. That’s one thing that nobody had to teach us!
