Completed projects in Lexington: real photos, real prices, one local crew.
Lexington homes range from 18th-century colonials to mid-century ranches and newer builds, and the New England weather treats them all the same way. We plan exterior remodeling projects around the freeze-thaw cycles, nor'easters and historic character that shape every decision here. This page explains how we approach siding, roofing and window replacement on Lexington houses, from the first measurement to the final walk-through with the town inspector.

Lexington has a mix of colonials, capes, ranches and split-levels, many built between the 1950s and the 1990s. Winters here bring snow, ice dams and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that work on siding, roofing and trim year after year. Nor’easters and wind-driven rain put extra stress on windows, doors and flashing. Asphalt roof shingles, wood trim around eaves and rakes, and older single-pane windows that fog or stick wear out first on most Lexington houses.
Homeowners most often call us for full siding replacements, roof tear-offs, window upgrades and exterior painting. On older colonials and capes we also repair porches and decks where moisture has worked into the framing over time.
One of our project managers visits your home, measures it and talks through what you want. We handle the building permit, order materials and install with our own crew.
Siding on a Lexington house must stand up to New England winters, ice dams and wind-driven rain while suiting the neighborhood. Fiber cement lap siding, such as James Hardie in Arctic White, holds paint well and resists the freeze-thaw cycles that crack cheaper materials. The color you pick affects more than curb appeal: lighter shades reflect summer heat, and a factory-applied finish means you will not repaint for years.
Style matters for the older colonials and capes common in town. Lap siding in a 4 in. or 5 in. exposure keeps the traditional lines. Wider exposures or vertical board and batten shift the look toward a more modern farmhouse feel. Trim details around windows and corners tie the whole exterior together, so we specify the exact profile in the written proposal before we order any material.
Our photographed projects in Lexington include James Hardie fiber cement lap siding in Arctic White, Marvin windows and a GAF asphalt shingle roof. Lap siding suits the colonials and capes common in town, and fiber cement holds paint well through freeze-thaw winters.

Roofing, siding, window replacement and most other exterior work need a building permit in Lexington. We apply for the building permit for you and schedule the town inspections. The inspector checks the work at the required stages and signs off when everything meets the Massachusetts building code.
Fiber cement siding, specifically James Hardie lap siding, stands up to the freeze-thaw cycles and nor'easters we get in Lexington without warping or cracking. It also holds paint longer than wood, which matters on a colonial with full two-story exposure. We have installed it in Arctic White on Lexington homes and the color stays clean for years.
The schedule follows the scope of work and the season. A full siding replacement on a typical Lexington colonial takes longer than a roof-only job, and winter weather can add days for safety and material handling. We give you a schedule in the written proposal and keep you updated as the work progresses.
No. The crew that shows up works for us, which keeps the quality and the schedule in our hands. The same crew that starts your siding or roofing project finishes it, and the project manager who measured your house stays involved through the final walk-through.
Yes. Many Lexington homes have detailed cornices, window surrounds and corner boards that define the architectural character. We measure and replicate those profiles when we replace siding or trim. If your house is in a historic district, we coordinate with the review board on the materials and profiles before we order anything.
