Siding Contractor in Belmont, MA

Belmont (02478) is in Middlesex County, about 44 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 83rd closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 12 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Watertown (2 mi), Arlington (2 mi), Waltham (3 mi), Cambridge (4 mi), Medford (4 mi). From the shop it is 49 road miles to the centre of Belmont, about 69 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 20 and Route 60.

Towns a few miles in from the coast get the worst of both: salt carried on an onshore wind and a full freeze-thaw winter, which keeps opening the seams the salt is working on. The centre of Belmont sits about 58 feet above sea level, 827 feet lower than our shop. Belmont, 12 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 10,881 homes in Belmont. The typical one was built in 1938, which makes Belmont's housing the 1st oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 76% went up before 1960 and 87% before 1980. 65% are lived in by their owners, and 40% are in two- to four-family buildings, the three-deckers and two-families this part of Massachusetts is known for. With most of the housing built before 1980, many of these walls are on their second or third exterior, and lead-safe work practices matter: federal EPA rules apply to disturbing paint on homes built before 1978.

Around Belmont, Cambridge sits closest to the coast at 8 miles and Lexington farthest at 15; Waltham is the nearest of them to our shop (41 mi) and Winchester the farthest (48 mi).
