Siding Contractor in Chelmsford, MA

Chelmsford (01824) is in Middlesex County, about 44 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 84th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 25 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Westford (4 mi), Carlisle (5 mi), Littleton (8 mi), Acton (9 mi), Bedford (9 mi). From the shop it is 52 road miles to the centre of Chelmsford, about 71 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-495, 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 Chelmsford sits about 244 feet above sea level, 641 feet lower than our shop. Chelmsford, 25 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 13,942 homes in Chelmsford. The typical one was built in 1967, which makes Chelmsford's housing the 50th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 32% went up before 1960 and 68% before 1980. 82% are lived in by their owners, and 67% 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.
