Siding Contractor in Blackstone, MA

Blackstone (01504) is in Worcester County, roughly 23 miles east of our Charlton shop. It is the 26th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 36 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Bellingham (6 mi), Mendon (6 mi), Uxbridge (6 mi), Hopedale (8 mi), Milford (9 mi). From the shop it is 34 road miles to the centre of Blackstone, about 50 minutes without traffic, mostly on Route 146 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 Blackstone sits about 184 feet above sea level, 701 feet lower than our shop. Blackstone, 36 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 4,013 homes in Blackstone. The typical one was built in 1967, which makes Blackstone's housing the 48th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 39% went up before 1960 and 62% before 1980. 73% are lived in by their owners, and 28% are in two- to four-family buildings, the three-deckers and two-families this part of Massachusetts is known for. 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.
