Siding contractors in New Hampshire - we work with siding lap, panels, shingles and shakes

Lap Siding

Lap siding is long, narrow boards that are installed horizontally, providing a traditional and rustic look while offering protection against the elements. They are a favorite among homeowners in Boston.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal
    Once all the necessary materials are ordered, the removal process of the old siding begins. The duration of this step usually ranges from 2 to 7 days, depending on the project size and the type of existing siding. If you have a new built or just need a small siding repair, this step is skipped.
  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    During this step, we’ll inspect the underlying sheathing for any signs of rot, mold, or damage. If repairs are needed, which fortunately doesn’t happen often from our experience, you could be looking at a small additional cost.

  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    Prior to installation, we’ll protect your home by installing a rainscreen system consisting of building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh. This crucial step safeguards your property against potential water damage.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    Our experienced team will install your chosen siding, paying meticulous attention to detail. From trim boards and soffits to insect screens and flashings, we’ll ensure a comprehensive and professional finish. Any necessary touch-up painting will be conducted to guarantee a polished appearance. This step usually takes between 7 and 10 days.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    We take pride in leaving your property clean and pristine. Our team will handle the clean-up and proper disposal of all construction debris, adhering to the highest standards of the siding industry.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

Why is an in-person consultation necessary before getting a quote?

An in-person visit allows us to assess your home’s structure, existing siding, and any issues caused by Boston’s weather – such as moisture infiltration, salt exposure near the coast, or freeze–thaw damage. We take precise measurements and evaluate the full scope of work, ensuring your quote is accurate and transparent.

Do you work with HOAs or help with required permits?

Yes. Many Boston-area neighborhoods – especially in places like Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Cambridge, and newer suburban communities – have strict exterior guidelines. We coordinate with HOAs, historic commissions, and city permit offices to ensure your project meets all local requirements. Boston can be strict with exterior updates, so we help handle the paperwork and approvals.

Are you licensed and insured in Massachusetts?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in Massachusetts. We carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation to protect you, your property, and our installation team throughout the project.

Can you help with design guidance, colors, and siding profiles?

Absolutely. Boston homes include historic colonials, triple-deckers, coastal properties, and modern builds. We’ll help you choose siding materials and colors that respect your home’s style while offering strong durability. Whether you want a classic New England look or a modern upgrade, we’ll guide you through profiles, textures, and color palettes that fit the region.

What factors affect the cost of siding installation?

Costs depend on your home’s size, layout, and the siding material you select. Conditions such as existing damage, the need for sheathing or insulation upgrades, and any architectural details—like trim, dormers, or complex rooflines – can influence the final price. Older homes often require additional prep work, which we discuss upfront.

What maintenance is required after new siding is installed?

Maintenance needs vary by material you choose, but most modern siding is low-maintenance. An annual wash, quick checks for caulking or sealant wear, and keeping vegetation or sprinklers away from the exterior are usually all that’s needed. We’ll provide specific care tips for your chosen material so your siding stays protected and looking great for years.

Can I see examples of siding projects you’ve completed in the Boston area?

Yes – we can show you before-and-after photos of projects completed in Boston, Brookline, Quincy, Somerville, and surrounding suburbs. During your consultation, we can also point you to local homes you can drive by to see our workmanship in person.

Do you help with homeowners’ insurance claims?

Yes. We regularly support homeowners dealing with storm damage from wind, hail, and winter conditions. We help document the damage, communicate with your adjuster, and guide you through the insurance claim process to increase the likelihood of approval.

What is the typical timeline from consultation to project completion?

Most siding projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks. This includes the consultation, design selection, permitting or approval steps (if required), material ordering, and installation. Historic homes or specialty materials may extend the timeline slightly, and we’ll review your project schedule in detail during the consultation.
