Expert Siding in Edgartown, Massachusetts

We handle it. Filing with Edgartown, 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.

You get material warranties up to 50 years and a 5-year guarantee on the installation itself. 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.

Our Edgartown projects generally land at $12,000–$28,000 for a typical single-family exterior. The spread comes down to size, material and what we find once the old work comes off — which is why our written quote includes an agreed rate for hidden damage rather than a guess. Estimates are free and we do not price on the doorstep.

Sometimes. On a martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages 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.

The three we see most often here: asbestos-cement siding that has to be handled and disposed of correctly; nail heads driven through the nailing hem, which locks a course in place until it buckles; and trim and fascia rot that only becomes visible once the old siding comes off. Locally, extreme salt spray corrosion comes up repeatedly on martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages.

Plan on seven to ten days on site, weather permitting. Dukes County weather does move schedules — wind-driven rain off the water, which finds any seam that was cut short is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
