Siding Contractor in Winchester, MA

Winchester (01890) is in Middlesex County, about 48 miles northeast of our Charlton shop, a run our crews make regularly. It is the 94th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 11 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Woburn (2 mi), Stoneham (3 mi), Arlington (3 mi), Medford (3 mi), Melrose (4 mi). From the shop it is 54 road miles to the centre of Winchester, about 78 minutes without traffic, mostly on I-90, Route 20 and Route 60.

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 Winchester sits about 22 feet above sea level, 863 feet lower than our shop. Winchester, 11 miles from the water, is in that group.

The Census counts 8,521 homes in Winchester. The typical one was built in 1954, which makes Winchester's housing the 16th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 59% went up before 1960 and 78% before 1980. 82% are lived in by their owners, and 69% 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 Winchester, Malden sits closest to the coast at 8 miles and Burlington farthest at 15; Lexington is the nearest of them to our shop (43 mi) and Melrose the farthest (51 mi). All 10 are in Middlesex County with it. Belmont has the oldest housing of them (typical 1938) and Burlington the newest (1972).
