Siding Contractor in Worcester, MA

Worcester (01608) is in Worcester County, roughly 12 miles northeast of our Charlton shop. It is the 11th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 43 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Auburn (5 mi), Shrewsbury (5 mi), Millbury (5 mi), Leicester (6 mi), Holden (7 mi). From the shop it is 14 road miles to the centre of Worcester, about 23 minutes without traffic, mostly on Route 20 and I-290.

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 Worcester sits about 484 feet above sea level, 401 feet lower than our shop. Worcester, 43 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 85,876 homes in Worcester. The typical one was built in 1951, which makes Worcester's housing the 15th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 59% went up before 1960 and 75% before 1980. 43% are lived in by their owners, and 42% 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.
