Siding Contractor in Beverly, MA

Beverly (01915) is in Essex County, about 63 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 109th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 2 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Danvers (3 mi), Salem (3 mi), Peabody (3 mi), Lynn (7 mi), Saugus (9 mi). From the shop it is 75 road miles to the centre of Beverly, about 101 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 and Route 128.

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 Beverly sits about 29 feet above sea level, 856 feet lower than our shop. Beverly, 2 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 17,630 homes in Beverly. The typical one was built in 1956, which makes Beverly's housing the 21st oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 56% went up before 1960 and 72% before 1980. 60% are lived in by their owners, and 26% 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 Beverly, Salem sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Reading farthest at 11; Stoneham is the nearest of them to our shop (50 mi) and Salem the farthest (61 mi).
