Siding Contractor in Braintree, MA

Braintree (02184) is in Norfolk County, about 50 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 96th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 5 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Quincy (2 mi), Weymouth (3 mi), Milton (4 mi), Randolph (5 mi), Stoughton (8 mi). From the shop it is 64 road miles to the centre of Braintree, about 87 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 and I-93.

This close to the ocean, salt air is what ages an exterior: it gets into the laps and corrodes fasteners and flashing long before it marks the face of the siding. The centre of Braintree sits about 79 feet above sea level, 806 feet lower than our shop. Braintree, 5 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 15,163 homes in Braintree. The typical one was built in 1957, which makes Braintree's housing the 22nd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 55% went up before 1960 and 75% before 1980. 78% are lived in by their owners, and 65% are single-family houses. 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 Braintree, Weymouth sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Sharon farthest at 16; Norwood is the nearest of them to our shop (40 mi) and Weymouth the farthest (53 mi). All 10 are in Norfolk County with it. Brookline has the oldest housing of them (typical 1938) and Canton the newest (1980).
