Siding Contractor in Quincy, MA

Quincy (02169) is in Norfolk County, about 50 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 98th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 4 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Braintree (2 mi), Milton (3 mi), Weymouth (4 mi), Randolph (7 mi), Brookline (8 mi). From the shop it is 61 road miles to the centre of Quincy, about 85 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 20 and I-93.

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 Quincy sits about 36 feet above sea level, 849 feet lower than our shop. Quincy, 4 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 48,072 homes in Quincy. The typical one was built in 1958, which makes Quincy's housing the 23rd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 52% went up before 1960 and 68% before 1980. 45% 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 Quincy, Weymouth sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Norwood farthest at 15; Norwood is the nearest of them to our shop (40 mi) and Weymouth the farthest (53 mi).
