Siding Contractor in Norwood, MA

Norwood (02062) is in Norfolk County, about 40 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 72nd closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 15 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Dedham (4 mi), Canton (4 mi), Walpole (4 mi), Sharon (5 mi), Medfield (5 mi). From the shop it is 54 road miles to the centre of Norwood, about 75 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 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 Norwood sits about 126 feet above sea level, 759 feet lower than our shop. Norwood, 15 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 13,815 homes in Norwood. The typical one was built in 1960, which makes Norwood's housing the 25th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 49% went up before 1960 and 71% before 1980. 54% are lived in by their owners, and 26% are in two- to four-family buildings, the three-deckers and two-families this part of Massachusetts is known for. 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 Norwood, Canton sits closest to the coast at 13 miles and Norfolk farthest at 23; Millis is the nearest of them to our shop (31 mi) and Stoughton the farthest (44 mi). All 10 are in Norfolk County with it. Dedham has the oldest housing of them (typical 1956) and Norfolk the newest (1984).
