At CKG Contractors Inc we work with the siding brands that best meet the demands of North Jersey’s climate while providing lasting beauty and value. From humid summers to harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles, our chosen brands deliver the performance and durability that North Jersey homeowners need.
Our decades of experience installing premium siding throughout Morris, Essex, Passaic, and Bergen counties gives us unique insight into how different brands perform in real-world conditions. We’ve seen which materials resist thermal cycling damage, handle moisture effectively, and maintain their appearance despite our region’s extreme weather patterns.
ProVia makes their siding in the U.S. and controls the whole process in-house, which means less variability between batches. CKG Contractors choose to work with ProVia siding because panels fit consistently, colors stay true over time, and the joints are designed to keep water out. It holds up to weather, heat, and moisture without a lot of maintenance.
Built for North Jersey Weather
North Jersey’s climate puts siding through a lot: hot summers, hard winters, nor’easters, and the occasional hailstorm. ProVia engineers their panels to endure temperature shifts without cracking, manage moisture without warping, and resist UV exposure without fading. Their impact-resistant formulations and weathertight drainage systems are built specifically for the kind of climate swings our region sees.
Design That Looks Natural
ProVia offers a wide range of profiles, textures, and colors that replicate wood and other natural materials convincingly. Realistic grain patterns, natural color variation, and coordinated trim systems give you architectural flexibility without sacrificing durability. Whether the home is traditional or contemporary, there are options that fit without looking like a compromise.
CKG Contractors works with CertainTeed siding because the style catalog and the performance specs are both strong. Their product lines offer solutions for every aesthetic preference while providing exceptional weather resistance and long-term value.
After 26 years installing siding across North Jersey, we know which products hold up. CertainTeed’s durable polymer formulations handle freeze-thaw cycles well, their color technology resists the chalking and fading that our climate accelerates, and their fastening systems are built for the wind loads this region sees. The integrated insulation options on several lines also make a real difference in energy performance, which is something more of our clients are asking about.
The style range includes traditional lap, board and batten, cedar shake replications, and more. The options are broad enough that we rarely run into a project where CertainTeed can not deliver what the homeowner has in mind.
As a certified CertainTeed installer, we follow their specs closely and our crews are trained on their systems, which is how you get the performance the product is actually capable of. When the installation is right, CertainTeed siding does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Every manufacturer we work with requires certification, and we maintain all of them. That means our crews are trained on current installation specs for ProVia, CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, and James Hardie, and those certifications get updated as products and requirements change. It is not a credential we earned once and forgot about.
Siding warranties are only as good as the installation behind them. Most manufacturers will not honor a claim if the product was installed outside their specifications, regardless of what caused the problem. Working with a certified contractor is how you make sure that protection is real when you need it.
Beyond warranty coverage, proper installation is necessary for performance. Panels that are fastened correctly, joints that are sealed the right way, and flashing that is done to spec all determine how the siding holds up over time. Our certifications keep us accountable to a standard, and that standard is what our clients in North Jersey have come to expect from us after 26 years.
