Siding Contractor in Groton, MA

Groton (01450) is in Middlesex County, about 39 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 69th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 35 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Ayer (4 mi), Shirley (6 mi), Littleton (7 mi), Westford (7 mi), Harvard (8 mi). From the shop it is 48 road miles to the centre of Groton, about 71 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-190, 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 Groton sits about 332 feet above sea level, 553 feet lower than our shop. Groton, 35 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 3,818 homes in Groton. The typical one was built in 1988, which makes Groton's housing the 105th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 25% went up before 1960 and 36% before 1980. 89% are lived in by their owners, and 80% are single-family houses. A younger housing stock usually means original builder-grade siding, windows and trim reaching the end of their first life, with less old paint and fewer hidden layers to deal with.
