Siding
Installation
Siding is a rain screen, not a raincoat — the housewrap and flashing behind it do the real work. We install the system, not just the panels.

How the job runs
Same process on every job — you always know what happens next.
Inspection & options
We check what's under your current siding and quote vinyl and fiber cement side by side, with rot repair itemized.
Strip & prep
Old siding off, sheathing repaired, housewrap and flashing installed — the layer that actually keeps water out.
Side & detail
Panels locked, trim wrapped, penetrations sealed. A typical colonial takes 1–2 weeks.
In Massachusetts, vinyl siding typically runs $7–$12/sq ft installed; fiber cement runs $12–$18/sq ft. A full re-side on an average colonial lands between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on material and rot repair. Free estimate with both options priced.
Questions homeowners
ask us
Vinyl or fiber cement — which is right for my house?
Vinyl wins on price and zero maintenance; fiber cement (Hardie) wins on looks, fire rating and resale in higher-end neighborhoods. We install both weekly and will give you a straight recommendation.
Do you replace rotted sheathing you find under old siding?
Yes, priced per sheet and photographed before replacement. On Boston-area homes we typically find at least some rot around windows and rooflines.
Can you match my existing siding for a repair or addition?
Usually — we track down discontinued vinyl profiles through supplier networks. When a match is impossible, we'll show you the closest options before ordering.
