Siding Contractor in Stow, MA

Stow (01775) is in Middlesex County, roughly 32 miles northeast of our Charlton shop. It is the 49th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 29 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Maynard (3 mi), Boxborough (4 mi), Hudson (4 mi), Acton (5 mi), Bolton (5 mi). From the shop it is 36 road miles to the centre of Stow, about 54 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-290, Route 20 and Route 62.

Inland, the damage comes from freeze-thaw. Water gets into a seam, freezes, expands and opens the joint a little further, night after night through the winter. The centre of Stow sits about 240 feet above sea level, 645 feet lower than our shop. Stow, 29 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 2,820 homes in Stow. The typical one was built in 1974, which makes Stow's housing the 72nd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 32% went up before 1960 and 60% before 1980. 85% are lived in by their owners, and 80% are single-family houses. A stock this mixed means no two quotes start the same way: an older house may be hiding asbestos-cement shingles or lead paint under its current siding, while a newer one is usually down to its original builder-grade materials.
