Completed projects in Belmont: real photos, real prices, one local crew.
Belmont homes take on New England weather year after year, and siding is the first line of defense. We walk you through a siding project on the houses we see across town, from in-home measurement to the final walk-through.

Belmont has a mix of wood-framed colonials, capes and two-family homes built between the 1890s and the 1960s, many with original cedar clapboards or older wood shingles. The south-facing and west-facing walls usually show wear first, where afternoon sun and nor’easter-driven rain hit hardest. Paint fails, caulk separates at window and corner trim, and water gets behind the siding long before the damage is visible from the ground.
Ice dams in the eaves and freeze-thaw cycles through a Massachusetts winter also take a toll on siding near the roofline. On houses with little roof overhang, we often find rot in the bottom courses of clapboards and in the trim boards around doors. We replace siding in Belmont less for cosmetics and more to catch hidden rot before it spreads into the sheathing and framing.
On our Belmont projects we have installed Boral and CertainTeed siding, with Pella windows on the same house. The homeowners chose light greige and brown, colors that suit the older colonials and capes common in this town.
We start with a free in-home visit to your Belmont home. The project manager measures every wall, checks the existing siding and sheathing, and notes the details that affect the job: window and door trim, corner boards, water table and any rot hidden behind the old cladding.
The written proposal lists the exact siding product, color, trim profile and the full scope of work. Once you approve it we pull the building permit with the Town of Belmont and order the materials. Our own crew strips the old siding, repairs or replaces damaged sheathing, installs a continuous weather barrier and hangs the new siding with the manufacturer’s required clearances and fasteners. We haul away all debris every day, keep the site clean, and walk the finished job with you to make sure every detail is right before we consider the project complete.
Most homeowners in Belmont decide four things before signing a proposal: the material, the color, the trim details, and how the wall assembly handles water. Considering them together keeps the decision practical.

Yes. We pull the building permit from the Town of Belmont as part of the project. The town inspects the work to the current Massachusetts building code, and we schedule the inspection so you do not have to manage it yourself.
Fiber cement and quality vinyl both perform well through freeze-thaw cycles and nor'easters when installed correctly. The details that matter most are the water-resistive barrier behind the siding and the flashing at windows, doors and corners.
The time on site depends on the size of the house, the number of stories and the siding material. We give you a schedule in the written proposal so you know when the crew arrives, how the work phases and when the final walk-through happens.
Yes. We install fiber cement lap siding and CertainTeed vinyl clapboard profiles that read as traditional wood from the street. On Belmont projects we have used light greige and brown tones that fit the older neighborhoods without looking out of place.
Fiber cement is heavier, holds paint longer and resists impact. Vinyl is lighter, needs no painting and costs less to install. Both shed rain and snow well when the house wrap and flashing are done right. That is where most failures start.
