Expert Siding in Charlton, Massachusetts

Sometimes. On a triple-decker homes we can often match a single elevation closely enough that it reads as original. Where the existing material has faded past matching, we will say so rather than sell you a repair you will be unhappy with.

You get a 25 to 50 year manufacturer warranty on the material and 5 years on our labour. Both are in writing at handover. The workmanship warranty is ours, not a third party's, and it is the one that actually gets used.

We handle it. Filing with Charlton, booking the inspection slots and being there when the inspector arrives are all ours under HIC #204634. You should not be chasing paperwork for work you are paying for.

The three we see most often here: original siding that has gone brittle and no longer holds a fastener; asbestos-cement siding that has to be handled and disposed of correctly; and previous work installed too tight, leaving the material no room to move. Locally, worn aluminum siding from the 1970s comes up repeatedly on triple-decker homes.

We work mainly in James Hardie fiber cement, premium double-4 vinyl, cedar shingle, and we are certified installers for James Hardie, CertainTeed, Alside. Which of those makes sense for your Charlton home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

Plan on roughly one to two weeks depending on trim detail. Worcester County weather does move schedules — wet spring seasons followed by dry, hot stretches that move wood trim is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
