Siding Contractor in Bedford, MA

Bedford (01730) is in Middlesex County, about 43 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 80th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 18 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Lexington (4 mi), Burlington (4 mi), Concord (4 mi), Carlisle (5 mi), Lincoln (5 mi). From the shop it is 54 road miles to the centre of Bedford, about 74 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 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 Bedford sits about 134 feet above sea level, 751 feet lower than our shop. Bedford, 18 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 5,970 homes in Bedford. The typical one was built in 1976, which makes Bedford's housing the 81st oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 32% went up before 1960 and 54% before 1980. 69% are lived in by their owners, and 64% are single-family houses. 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 Bedford, Arlington sits closest to the coast at 11 miles and Acton farthest at 26; Acton is the nearest of them to our shop (37 mi) and Woburn the farthest (48 mi). All 10 are in Middlesex County with it. Belmont has the oldest housing of them (typical 1938) and Carlisle the newest (1976).
