Siding Contractor in Peabody, MA

Peabody (01960) is in Essex County, about 60 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 106th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 3 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Salem (2 mi), Beverly (3 mi), Danvers (3 mi), Lynn (4 mi), Saugus (6 mi). From the shop it is 70 road miles to the centre of Peabody, about 97 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 and Route 20.

This close to the ocean, salt air is what ages an exterior: it gets into the laps and corrodes fasteners and flashing long before it marks the face of the siding. The centre of Peabody sits about 26 feet above sea level, 859 feet lower than our shop. Peabody, 3 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 23,081 homes in Peabody. The typical one was built in 1966, which makes Peabody's housing the 44th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 40% went up before 1960 and 64% before 1980. 66% are lived in by their owners, and 51% 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 Peabody, Salem sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Reading farthest at 11; Stoneham is the nearest of them to our shop (50 mi) and Beverly the farthest (63 mi).
