Siding Contractor in Saugus, MA

Saugus (01906) is in Essex County, about 54 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 104th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 5 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Melrose (3 mi), Lynn (3 mi), Malden (4 mi), Wakefield (4 mi), Stoneham (5 mi). From the shop it is 64 road miles to the centre of Saugus, about 86 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 1 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 Saugus sits about 21 feet above sea level, 864 feet lower than our shop. Saugus, 5 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 11,402 homes in Saugus. The typical one was built in 1962, which makes Saugus's housing the 30th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 47% went up before 1960 and 72% before 1980. 72% are lived in by their owners, and 66% 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 Saugus, Lynn sits closest to the coast at 2 miles and Winchester farthest at 11; Medford is the nearest of them to our shop (48 mi) and Peabody the farthest (60 mi).
