Siding Contractor in Needham, MA

Needham (02492) is in Norfolk County, about 39 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 70th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 15 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Wellesley (3 mi), Dover (3 mi), Newton (4 mi), Dedham (5 mi), Natick (6 mi). From the shop it is 47 road miles to the centre of Needham, about 64 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 20 and I-95.

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 Needham sits about 164 feet above sea level, 721 feet lower than our shop. Needham, 15 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 11,929 homes in Needham. The typical one was built in 1965, which makes Needham's housing the 39th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 45% went up before 1960 and 64% before 1980. 83% are lived in by their owners, and 74% 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.

Around Needham, Newton sits closest to the coast at 13 miles and Sherborn farthest at 22; Sherborn is the nearest of them to our shop (32 mi) and Dedham the farthest (42 mi).
