Siding Contractor in Lancaster, MA

Lancaster (01523) is in Worcester County, roughly 27 miles northeast of our Charlton shop. It is the 38th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 37 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Clinton (3 mi), Bolton (4 mi), Boylston (4 mi), Sterling (5 mi), Berlin (6 mi). From the shop it is 36 road miles to the centre of Lancaster, about 52 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 Lancaster sits about 300 feet above sea level, 585 feet lower than our shop. Lancaster, 37 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 3,025 homes in Lancaster. The typical one was built in 1971, which makes Lancaster's housing the 63rd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 35% went up before 1960 and 55% before 1980. 85% are lived in by their owners, and 82% 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.
