Siding Contractor in Danvers, MA

Danvers (01923) is in Essex County, about 61 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 107th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 4 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Beverly (3 mi), Peabody (3 mi), Salem (4 mi), Lynn (8 mi), Wakefield (9 mi). From the shop it is 72 road miles to the centre of Danvers, about 100 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 Danvers sits about 23 feet above sea level, 862 feet lower than our shop. Danvers, 4 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 11,536 homes in Danvers. The typical one was built in 1963, which makes Danvers's housing the 33rd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 43% went up before 1960 and 69% before 1980. 69% are lived in by their owners, and 58% 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 Danvers, Beverly 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).
