Completed projects in Holliston: real photos, real prices, one local crew.
Holliston homes face the same New England weather year after year: snow loading on roofs, freeze-thaw cycles that work on siding, and nor'easters that test every window and door. This page explains how we plan and run an exterior remodel on the houses we see most often here, from the first measurement to the final walk-through.

Most homes in Holliston were built between the 1920s and the 1990s, so you see a mix of colonials, capes, ranches and split-levels with wood framing underneath. The roof, siding, and trim boards that face the weather show age first. After enough New England winters, asphalt shingles curl and lose granules, cedar siding develops rot at the bottom courses, and window sills and door frames soften where water sits.
Holliston gets the full cycle: snow and ice dams in winter, nor’easters with wind-driven rain in spring and fall, and strong summer sun that fades color and dries out caulk joints. Exterior work here must include proper flashing, ice and water barrier along the eaves, and materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or warping.
Every project follows the same sequence, from the first visit to the final walk-through. A project manager measures the house in person, so the proposal reflects the actual walls, rooflines and openings.
Holliston winters bring snow, ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles that punish exteriors, so material choice matters. For siding, fiber cement handles moisture without swelling, while vinyl and composite shakes shed rain and need no paint. Roofing decisions start with an ice and water barrier along the eaves and valleys, and synthetic underlayment that resists tearing during installation. Ridge venting and balanced intake keep the attic cold, which helps prevent ice dams on the roof edges common in town.
Window style affects more than looks. Casement windows seal tighter against wind-driven rain than double-hungs, a real advantage during nor’easters. We walk you through the options at your kitchen table, matching the profile to the house style and the glass package to the exposure. You pick from two or three sensible choices instead of a catalog.
Our Holliston projects show what homeowners in town choose. Siding work includes CertainTeed vinyl in Cobblestone and Sterling Gray, plus James Hardie board and batten in Charcoal Grey.

Yes, for roofing, siding, window and door replacement, and deck work. We pull the building permit with the Town of Holliston before materials arrive on site. The town inspector checks the job at the required stages and gives final approval when the work is complete.
We install ice and water barrier along the eaves and valleys, plus synthetic underlayment across the rest of the roof deck. Ridge venting and balanced intake keep the attic cold, reducing the freeze-thaw cycle that causes dams on older Holliston colonials and capes.
Fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie, resists moisture and does not rot. This matters on lots that stay damp or shaded. Some Holliston homeowners also choose CertainTeed vinyl or polymer shakes for low maintenance on capes and ranches where repainting every few years is impractical.
Yes. We install double-hung windows that keep the traditional look of a colonial or Victorian, and casement or picture windows where more glass and a cleaner sightline make sense. Marvin and Harvey both offer divided-light patterns and colors that fit the older homes we work on here.
Our own installation crew does the work. The same project manager who measures your house writes the proposal, orders the materials, and walks the finished job with you. We never hand off any part of the install to a third party.
