Siding Contractor in Dover, MA

Dover (02030) is in Norfolk County, about 36 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 61st closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 18 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Needham (3 mi), Wellesley (4 mi), Medfield (4 mi), Natick (4 mi), Sherborn (4 mi). From the shop it is 44 road miles to the centre of Dover, about 65 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90 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 Dover sits about 170 feet above sea level, 715 feet lower than our shop. Dover, 18 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 1,998 homes in Dover. The typical one was built in 1970, which makes Dover's housing the 59th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 23% went up before 1960 and 61% before 1980. 98% are lived in by their owners, and 96% 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 Dover, Dedham sits closest to the coast at 13 miles and Framingham farthest at 24; Framingham is the nearest of them to our shop (30 mi) and Dedham the farthest (42 mi). Sherborn and Natick and Framingham are across the line in Middlesex County. Wellesley has the oldest housing of them (typical 1955) and Walpole the newest (1977).
