Siding Contractor in Spencer, MA

Spencer (01562) is in Worcester County, about 8 miles north of our Charlton shop. It is the 7th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 53 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Leicester (4 mi), Paxton (6 mi), Charlton (8 mi), Auburn (9 mi), Rutland (9 mi). From the shop it is 8 road miles to the centre of Spencer, about 17 minutes without traffic, mostly on Route 31 and Center Depot Road.

On the higher ground around and west of Worcester the winter is longer and snowier. Snow sits against the bottom of the wall and meltwater refreezes at night, so the lowest courses take most of the wear. The centre of Spencer sits about 864 feet above sea level, 21 feet lower than our shop. Spencer, 53 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 5,695 homes in Spencer. The typical one was built in 1968, which makes Spencer's housing the 51st oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 42% went up before 1960 and 68% before 1980. 63% are lived in by their owners, and 33% 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 Spencer, Millbury sits closest to the coast at 42 miles and Charlton farthest at 54; Charlton is the nearest of them to our shop (0 mi) and Holden the farthest (16 mi).
