This 1970’s colonial style home in Westford, MA was in need of some serious care. The masonite siding was in really bad shape because moisture was absorbing in the composite siding.

Unfortunately with masonite, when this happens, it is unfixable and the siding must be replaced.

The customer was looking for a siding contractor in Westford, MA that could handle a project with the attention to detail, to get his house looking the way he wanted.

We first removed the Masonite siding that was rotting in many places. As siding contractors in Massachusetts we are experienced in removing all types of siding from Cedar clapboard, to aluminum siding, to asphalt shingle siding and everything in between.

We then wrapped the house with a moisure barrier, Tyvek® Homewrap. The customer choose to match the existing style of siding to be installed, so we put up FC Cedarmill or Woodgrain style clapboards. This fiber cement siding product is designed to look like cedar clapboards, but it is low maintenance.

To complement their new low-maintenance siding we installed low maintenance cellular PVC trim on their cornerboards, window and door frames, garage door frames, and rakes.

Some of the siding rot had spread to the trim and framing of the house. Our experienced carpenters reframed the studs between the 1st and 2nd floor on the back of the house, replaced 6 sheets of plywood, and 6 window sills. The water caused a lot of damage underneath the siding, which we could not see until it was taken off, but we took care of all issues properly and the homeowner was very pleased how we handled the different issues.

The final step was to bring in our team of painters. Our painters have more experience coating fiber cement siding then any other company in New England, they practically specialize in painting fiber cement siding.
