Expert Siding in Townsend, Massachusetts

Plan on seven to ten days on site, weather permitting. Middlesex County weather does move schedules — freeze-thaw cycling that opens any joint left unsealed is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

Sometimes. On a colonial revivals 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.

We stop, photograph it and show you before covering anything back up. The repair rate is agreed in the contract before we start, so there is no renegotiation with your wall open.

Beds and walkways are covered before anything comes off the wall, there is a container on site from day one, and we magnet-sweep every evening. It matters more than people expect on a tight Townsend lot.

The three we see most often here: previous work installed too tight, leaving the material no room to move; a wall that was furred out unevenly, so the new courses telegraph every dip; and mismatched patch repairs from earlier partial jobs. Locally, aging clapboard siding comes up repeatedly on colonial revivals.

No — our own people, start to finish. Subcontracting is how a schedule slips and how nobody ends up owning a defect.
