That’s where Garden State Brickface and Siding comes in. We’ve helped thousands of New Jersey homeowners match their personal aesthetic with the right materials—and we’re here to help you do the same.

Explore the Top Siding Styles

Each siding material comes with a distinct look, texture, and performance profile. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most popular options:

1. Brickface Siding

Classic • Durable • Historic Appeal
Brickface mimics the texture and character of full brick but is applied as a durable, hand-crafted masonry finish. It’s perfect for Colonial, Tudor, or traditional homes looking for a timeless look without the cost and weight of real brick.

  • Weather-resistant and long-lasting
  • Custom color and grout options
  • Low maintenance

Best for: Homeowners who want the character of brick with more flexibility and affordability.

2. Stucco

Smooth • Modern • Versatile
Stucco is sleek, clean, and customizable. It fits both classic Mediterranean designs and modern architectural homes. Garden State’s stucco application is hand-troweled for depth and texture, built to last in all four seasons.

  • Energy-efficient (adds insulation value)
  • Wide range of colors and finishes
  • Can be paired with other siding types for contrast

Best for: Homeowners who want a clean finish and energy savings.


3. Vinyl Siding

Affordable • Low Maintenance • Popular
Vinyl remains one of the most requested materials thanks to its affordability, wide color range, and ease of care. Today’s vinyl options come in textures that mimic wood, shake, or paneling.

  • Won’t rot, chip, or peel
  • Budget-friendly
  • Easy to clean

Best for: Homeowners seeking cost-effective siding with modern styling options.

4. Composite & Fiber Cement Siding

High-Performance • Wood Look • Fire-Resistant
Composite siding, such as James Hardie® fiber cement, combines beauty with strength. It offers the texture of real wood with higher durability and resistance to pests, fire, and rot.

  • Long lifespan
  • Holds paint longer
  • Excellent return on investment

Best for: Homeowners who want premium curb appeal with long-term durability.
