Good to Know
Before you start.
Outdoor work here mostly happens spring through fall, and good contractors book up early.
- Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint under old siding, which requires lead-safe work practices.
- Adding exterior insulation during re-siding can qualify for Mass Save support.
- Historic districts may restrict siding materials.
FAQ
Siding questions.
Vinyl, fiber cement, or wood?+
Vinyl costs least and needs little upkeep, fiber cement is durable and paintable, and wood is traditional but needs maintenance. We price the options.
Should I replace windows at the same time?+
Often yes. It is the best time to flash windows properly and avoids redoing trim later.
