Senco Home Services is a licensed siding contractor working in Chelmsford, MA, and we've sided homes in town already. Tired vinyl or old clapboard, we take it off, flash and waterproof the wall, and back the new siding in writing. Our main siding page covers the materials and process in full.
Chelmsford's median home was built in 1967, and the 1950s and 60s together account for about two homes in five. If the siding on yours is original wood or a first round of vinyl, it's been on the wall a long time. We handle the whole job: the old siding comes off, we check and repair the sheathing underneath, detail every seam and corner against water, and install the new siding. Get a free siding quote to see what it would cost on your house.
If your house sits in the Chelmsford Center Historic District, the material question has a firmer answer. The Historic District Commission's review standards call for wood or a wood composite, and its minutes state that vinyl siding isn't allowed for properties in the district. We install wood clapboard and shingles, and we'll check with the commission before we order anything for a house there.
A 1960s ranch and a newer colonial don't always want the same siding. We'll go through the trade-offs for your house before you pick.
Available in 4″ and 5″ exposure. Durable, the most affordable option, and fast to install on a mid-century house.
Available in 5″ and 7″ exposure. A shingle-style cottage look in several colors that cleans up with a garden hose.
James Hardie-style fiber cement looks like wood, resists fire, and takes paint. It costs more than vinyl and holds strong resale value.
Clapboard, lap siding, shakes, and shingles. With proper maintenance, wood siding lasts 20 to 40 years, and it's the clear fit in the historic district.

New siding is a big investment, and a skipped seam or loose flashing lets water in a few years later. So we install every Chelmsford siding job as if we'll never get a second chance at that wall. Our crews are licensed, insured, and work out of our own shop in Tewksbury.
Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 9 miles from Chelmsford along Route 38. We've done siding and roofing work in Chelmsford.
Chelmsford grew from 8,077 people in 1940 to 31,432 by 1970, and a lot of its houses date from that run. Some still have their original wood clapboard or an early round of vinyl. A plain ranch is a different siding job from a colonial with dormers and several wall planes, and we price each one on what's there.
We work across the whole town: Chelmsford Center, North Chelmsford and Vinal Square, South, East, and West Chelmsford, and the Westlands.
Chelmsford requires a building permit for siding, issued by the Building Department at 50 Billerica Road (978-250-5225). The office is open until 7 PM on Tuesdays. We pull the permit on every Chelmsford siding job.
In the Chelmsford Center Historic District, siding also goes past the Historic District Commission. Its review standards call for wood or a wood composite, and vinyl isn't allowed on properties there, so we plan those jobs around wood or a material the commission approves.
Freeze and thaw work on old clapboard and early vinyl until the seams open and water gets behind the wall. Every Chelmsford siding job starts with waterproofing detail at the seams, corners, and window trim.
Tewksbury is home base, and these are the towns we cover around it:
One local siding contractor for the material, the install, and the financing.
A durable, budget-friendly replacement for clapboard or first-generation vinyl on a mid-century Chelmsford house.
A shingle-style cottage look on a ranch or colonial that stays close to maintenance-free.
James Hardie-style panels with the look of wood, fire resistance, and a paintable surface.
Clapboard, shakes, and shingles. The material the Chelmsford Center Historic District's standards call for.
Detailing at seams, corners, and trim on every Chelmsford install, built in from the start.
0% financing for 12 months through GreenSky, plus 10- and 15-year plans.
Need more than siding? We also do roof replacement in Chelmsford and seamless gutters for Chelmsford homes, so one crew can handle the whole exterior. For a leak, our roof repair team can usually be there within 48 hours.

We had an excellent experience with Senco. Chris was amazing! He was professional, patient, explained things clearly and answered all our questions. He always returned our phone inquiries. He and his workers went above and beyond our expectations. His crew replaced our roof in one day. Clean up was great. We also had Senco remove the ice dams prior to having the roof replaced. Once again, Senco's pricing was fair, the crew was hard working and responsive to any concerns we may have had. I highly recommend this company and would use them again.Elaine Levine · Google Review
Senco did many homes in my neighborhood. I recognized their competence, honesty and quality right away and knew I had to have the Senco team on my roof too. Very satisfied with all aspects of the demolition and installation which was quite complex. Replaced facia boards with AZEK, new gutters, and a new roof. Thanks again Senco!! Excellent job!!Jim O. · Google Review
Owner, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He always responded promptly to our questions and we always felt we were important to him. His crew worked so great together, like they never had to ask each other for anything, they just knew what was next. The job was started earlier than planned and everything was done above and beyond what one would expect. We would, and have, already recommended Senco Home Services to other homeowners and look forward to having him back to replace our old windows. Thank you, Chris, for making this an easy decision for us and for providing quality workmanship. Stephen and Melissa Spinosa in BurlingtonJenna Spinosa · Google Review

Chelmsford siding questions
Yes. Chelmsford's building FAQ lists siding among the work that requires a building permit, issued through the Building Department at 50 Billerica Road (978-250-5225). We pull the permit as part of every Chelmsford siding job.
Probably not. The Historic District Commission's review standards call for wood or a wood composite like Azek, and the commission's minutes state that vinyl siding isn't allowed for properties in the district. We install wood siding, so we can quote a district house in a material that fits the standards. If you'd rather use fiber cement, we'll confirm it with the commission first.
Any of the four we install. On a house from that era (the median Chelmsford home was built in 1967), vinyl lap is the budget choice, cedar-impression vinyl gives a shingle look, fiber cement costs more and takes paint, and wood suits an older or historic house. We'll go through the trade-offs on your walls.
Yes. We've sided and roofed homes in Chelmsford, and the town is about 15 minutes from our Tewksbury shop. Every quote starts with a free look at your walls, trim, and sheathing.
Vinyl lap siding (4″ and 5″ exposure) is a durable, low-maintenance, budget-friendly replacement for wood clapboard. Vinyl cedar impressions (5″ and 7″ exposure) give you a shingle-style cottage look in several colors and clean up with a garden hose. Both stand up well to New England weather.
Yes. Anyone who has new siding installed by Senco also gets free gutter installation, because siding and gutters work together to keep water out of the walls. Waterproofing is included on every siding job too.
Our siding crews cover Chelmsford and the towns around our Tewksbury shop. For roofing, gutters, and repair in town, see our Chelmsford page.
