Siding Contractor in Harvard, MA

Harvard (01451) is in Worcester County, roughly 32 miles northeast of our Charlton shop. It is the 47th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 34 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Boxborough (3 mi), Ayer (4 mi), Shirley (4 mi), Bolton (5 mi), Littleton (5 mi). From the shop it is 41 road miles to the centre of Harvard, about 59 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-290, I-495 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 Harvard sits about 405 feet above sea level, 480 feet lower than our shop. Harvard, 34 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 2,256 homes in Harvard. The typical one was built in 1975, which makes Harvard's housing the 75th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 26% went up before 1960 and 59% before 1980. 89% are lived in by their owners, and 86% 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.
