Siding Contractor in Andover, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed siding contractor serving homeowners across Andover, MA and the towns around it. Andover's housing stock runs from centuries-old antique homes to a planned 1920s mill village, and each comes with its own siding considerations — including, in Ballardvale, a real historic-district approval step before work can start. Our crews install it right the first time: properly flashed, fully waterproofed, and backed in writing. This page covers what that looks like specifically for Andover homes — for the full rundown of our siding materials and process, see our main siding services page.

Siding Replacement for Andover's Antique Homes, Shawsheen Village & Ballardvale

Andover carries a genuinely wide range of siding ages and styles. The town has a documented cluster of pre-1800 homes — some with confirmed construction windows from the 1670s through the 1770s — concentrated in the older village areas, alongside a distinct, dateable cohort in Shawsheen Village, the planned corporate community built between 1919 and 1924 with more than 200 purpose-built houses, and 19th-century mill-worker housing in Ballardvale along the Shawsheen River. None of those homes is still wearing its original exterior wall covering, but the wall assemblies and trim details on a true antique Andover home are often different from what we'd find on mid-century construction — and if your home sits inside the Ballardvale Historic District, any visible siding work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the town before we can start. We handle the same full job on every Andover home: removal of the old siding, inspection and repair of the sheathing underneath, waterproofing detail at every seam and corner, and a fresh install matched to your home.

Siding Materials We Install in Andover

Different homes call for different materials, and Andover's higher-value housing stock often calls for a different conversation than a starter-home re-side. We'll walk you through the real trade-offs for your house before you decide.

Local Siding, Not a Sales Pitch

Andover's Siding Contractor, With Real Historic-District Know-How

We're not a national franchise dispatching a crew from an hour away — Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 6 miles and a 14-minute drive from Andover, and we've done residential siding on homes across the town, from antique colonials near the old village center to the planned neighborhoods of Shawsheen Village and Ballardvale.

Andover was settled in 1642 and incorporated in 1646, and it shows in the housing stock: the town has a documented cluster of surviving 17th- and 18th-century homes, with the oldest, the Chandler-Bigsby-Abbot House, dated to 1673, and several others with confirmed construction windows from the 1690s through the 1770s. The siding on homes that old has obviously been replaced many times over, but the wall framing and trim details on a true antique often call for a closer look than a standard re-side — something we account for before we ever write a quote.

Two of Andover's neighborhoods carry their own distinct, dateable housing cohorts. Shawsheen Village was a fully planned corporate community built by the American Woolen Company between 1919 and 1924 — more than 200 purpose-built houses laid out by a team of Boston and Lawrence architects before the mills closed in 1953 and the homes passed into private hands. Ballardvale, a few miles away along the Shawsheen River, grew up as 19th-century mill-worker housing and has its own commuter rail stop, separate from downtown Andover's. Both give Andover a genuinely different exterior story than Tewksbury or Billerica's largely 20th-century suburban stock.

If your home sits inside the Ballardvale Historic District, there's a step most siding contractors won't think to mention: any exterior work visible from the street — and siding is about as visible as exterior work gets — needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Ballardvale Historic District Commission before work starts. Applications go through the town's online portal, and the Commission meets the first Wednesday of each month. We factor that timeline into a Ballardvale siding quote up front instead of surprising you with it mid-project. Outside the historic district, Andover's Building Division (36 Bartlet Street, 978-623-8620) handles general permitting, and we manage that paperwork either way.

Andover's homes also run meaningfully higher in value than the rest of our service area — a median home value around $855,600, well above Tewksbury's or Billerica's — and we quote Andover siding jobs accordingly, leaning into fiber cement and higher-end material lines rather than builder-grade vinyl. Andover's building code also lists a 117 mph ultimate design wind speed — among the higher wind figures in our service area — and siding installed to a lower standard can flex and work loose in exactly those conditions. Whatever material fits your home and budget, every Andover job gets the same waterproofing detailing and sealed flashing we'd put on a home in our own backyard.

We install vinyl lap siding, vinyl cedar impression siding, fiber cement siding (the James Hardie-style panel homeowners often ask for by name), and traditional wood siding in Andover — whichever fits your home's age, look, and budget. It's the same installation standard behind our full siding services, and every Andover job goes on with waterproofing built in and Senco's 10-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing.
