Siding Contractor in Milton, MA

Milton (02186) is in Norfolk County, about 47 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 90th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 7 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Quincy (3 mi), Braintree (4 mi), Dedham (5 mi), Randolph (6 mi), Brookline (6 mi). From the shop it is 62 road miles to the centre of Milton, about 84 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 and Route 20.

Towns a few miles in from the coast get the worst of both: salt carried on an onshore wind and a full freeze-thaw winter, which keeps opening the seams the salt is working on. The centre of Milton sits about 125 feet above sea level, 760 feet lower than our shop. Milton, 7 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 9,335 homes in Milton. The typical one was built in 1945, which makes Milton's housing the 9th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 69% went up before 1960 and 81% before 1980. 85% are lived in by their owners, and 75% 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 Milton, Weymouth sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Needham farthest at 15; Needham is the nearest of them to our shop (39 mi) and Weymouth the farthest (53 mi).
