Siding Contractor in Ayer, MA

Ayer (01432) is in Middlesex County, roughly 35 miles northeast of our Charlton shop. It is the 59th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 35 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Shirley (3 mi), Groton (4 mi), Harvard (4 mi), Littleton (5 mi), Boxborough (6 mi). From the shop it is 44 road miles to the centre of Ayer, about 64 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-190, I-290 and Route 20.

Inland, the damage comes from freeze-thaw. Water gets into a seam, freezes, expands and opens the joint a little further, night after night through the winter. The centre of Ayer sits about 236 feet above sea level, 649 feet lower than our shop. Ayer, 35 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 3,891 homes in Ayer. The typical one was built in 1977, which makes Ayer's housing the 85th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 35% went up before 1960 and 54% before 1980. 69% are lived in by their owners, and 26% are in two- to four-family buildings, the three-deckers and two-families this part of Massachusetts is known for. A stock this mixed means no two quotes start the same way: an older house may be hiding asbestos-cement shingles or lead paint under its current siding, while a newer one is usually down to its original builder-grade materials.

Around Ayer, Westford sits closest to the coast at 28 miles and Leominster farthest at 43; Lancaster is the nearest of them to our shop (27 mi) and Westford the farthest (41 mi).
