Siding Contractor in Wellesley, MA

Wellesley (02481) is in Norfolk County, about 36 miles east of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 62nd closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 17 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Needham (3 mi), Natick (3 mi), Dover (4 mi), Weston (5 mi), Newton (5 mi). From the shop it is 42 road miles to the centre of Wellesley, about 59 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 20 and Route 135.

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 Wellesley sits about 125 feet above sea level, 760 feet lower than our shop. Wellesley, 17 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 9,400 homes in Wellesley. The typical one was built in 1955, which makes Wellesley's housing the 17th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 57% went up before 1960 and 72% before 1980. 84% are lived in by their owners, and 82% 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 Wellesley, Newton sits closest to the coast at 13 miles and Framingham farthest at 24; Framingham is the nearest of them to our shop (30 mi) and Dedham the farthest (42 mi). Natick and Weston and Newton and Framingham and Sherborn and Wayland and Waltham are across the line in Middlesex County. Newton has the oldest housing of them (typical 1942) and Dover the newest (1970).
