Siding Contractor in Stoneham, MA

Stoneham (02180) is in Middlesex County, about 50 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 99th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 10 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Melrose (2 mi), Wakefield (2 mi), Woburn (3 mi), Winchester (3 mi), Reading (3 mi). From the shop it is 61 road miles to the centre of Stoneham, about 83 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, I-95 and Route 20.

Towns a few miles in from the coast get the worst of both: salt carried on an onshore wind and a full freeze-thaw winter, which keeps opening the seams the salt is working on. The centre of Stoneham sits about 153 feet above sea level, 732 feet lower than our shop. Stoneham, 10 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 10,196 homes in Stoneham. The typical one was built in 1964, which makes Stoneham's housing the 35th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 46% went up before 1960 and 70% before 1980. 71% are lived in by their owners, and 54% 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.
