Siding Contractor in Leicester, MA

Leicester (01524) is in Worcester County, about 8 miles north of our Charlton shop. It is the 6th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 49 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Spencer (4 mi), Paxton (5 mi), Auburn (5 mi), Worcester (6 mi), Holden (8 mi). From the shop it is 11 road miles to the centre of Leicester, about 19 minutes without traffic, mostly on Route 56 and Route 20.

On the higher ground around and west of Worcester the winter is longer and snowier. Snow sits against the bottom of the wall and meltwater refreezes at night, so the lowest courses take most of the wear. The centre of Leicester sits about 980 feet above sea level, 95 feet higher than our shop. Leicester, 49 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 4,296 homes in Leicester. The typical one was built in 1965, which makes Leicester's housing the 37th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 47% went up before 1960 and 67% before 1980. 89% are lived in by their owners, and 85% are single-family houses. 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 Leicester, Millbury sits closest to the coast at 42 miles and Charlton farthest at 54; Charlton is the nearest of them to our shop (0 mi) and Rutland the farthest (16 mi).
