How we estimate a siding jobReplacing siding on a Norfolk home means choosing a material that handles wet winters, freeze-thaw cycles and the occasional nor'easter while fitting the look of your street. We walk you through what the job involves on the colonials, capes and ranches we see across town, from the first measurement to the final walk-through.
Most Norfolk homes were built before 1978, so we start with a lead test before we disturb any painted surface. The old siding comes off down to the sheathing, and we check for rot around window openings, corners and the bottom course. We replace or overlay any damaged sheathing, and we flash the window and door openings with aluminum trim coil before the new siding goes up.
Norfolk winters bring freeze-thaw cycles, nor'easters and wind-driven rain, so the siding has to hold its shape and shed water. We install James Hardie fiber cement, CertainTeed vinyl and Cedar Impressions polymer shakes, Everlast and Ascend composite siding, and real cedar in lap, shake and board and batten styles.
Fiber cement resists rot and holds paint for years, which suits the colonials and capes we see in Norfolk. Vinyl and polymer shakes cost less to maintain. Composite and cedar suit older homes where a wood look matters. On every job we match the material to your house style and exposure before you choose a color.
Your project manager comes to your Norfolk house, takes measurements, and talks through the scope, the material choices, and the condition of the existing siding and sheathing. You get a written proposal that lists the exact products, the color, and every step of the work. We use no subcontractors and provide no vague line items.
Once you approve the proposal, we pull the building permit with the town. Our crew strips the old siding, repairs or replaces damaged sheathing, and installs the house wrap, flashing, and trim before hanging the new siding. The crew clears old material daily, so you are never left with a pile in the driveway. When the job is done, we walk the finished house with you to make sure every detail is correct.
Our completed Norfolk siding projects include James Hardie fiber cement lap siding in a pale cream color and CertainTeed vinyl in Snow White. Both are photographed on our site so you can see the finished work. One of these jobs also included PolyIso insulation on the wall assembly.
Our own crews also install roofing and replacement windows, so we can handle a full exterior replacement under one permit and one schedule. This keeps the flashing and trim details consistent where siding meets a new roof or windows.

James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to resist moisture, rot and insect damage, which matters in a climate with wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles. Its lifespan in Norfolk is comparable to what the manufacturer reports for New England, typically several decades with proper installation. The key is a correct rainscreen assembly and flashing details that keep water out of the wall cavity.
Yes, the Town of Norfolk requires a building permit for siding replacement. We take out the building permit as part of the project, and the work is inspected by the town building department. Permits protect you by making sure the installation meets the Massachusetts building code for weather barriers, flashing and fastening.
Many older colonials in town were originally clad in wood clapboard. James Hardie fiber cement lap siding gives you a similar look with far less maintenance. For a more traditional texture, cedar shingles or CertainTeed Cedar Impressions polymer shakes can match the character of a historic streetscape without the upkeep of real wood. The right choice depends on your house's style and your tolerance for painting over time.
We do. Along with siding, we replace roofs, windows and doors, which lets you coordinate colors and details across the whole exterior. When a Norfolk house needs both siding and roofing, we sequence the work so the roof is watertight before the siding crew starts, and we protect the new siding during any remaining roof work.
Look for a line-by-line scope that names the exact product, color, style and trim details, not just a lump sum. The quote should state who pulls the permit, whether the crew strips the old siding or goes over it, what underlayment and flashing are included, and how debris is handled. A written proposal that spells out every step leaves no room for surprises once the work begins.
