Siding Installation in Methuen, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed siding contractor serving homeowners across Methuen, MA. Methuen's houses run from before 1940 to the last few years, so a Methuen siding job can mean re-siding a three-story two-family in the Arlington Neighborhood or replacing tired vinyl on a newer West End house. Either way, we flash it properly, waterproof the seams, and back it in writing. For our full siding materials and process, see the main siding page.

Siding for Methuen Homes of Every Era

Census figures show about one Methuen home in four was built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1968, with every decade since represented. Old clapboard and first-generation vinyl both wear out, and the wall behind them is where the trouble hides. We take the old siding off, check and repair the sheathing, detail every seam, corner, and window for water, then install the new siding. Get a free siding quote for a number on your house.

Siding in the Searles Tenney Nevins Historic District

If your house is in Methuen's local historic district, siding is one of the changes the Historic District Commission reviews. Its guidelines say to avoid synthetic siding, including vinyl and aluminum. That isn't a strict ban, but the Commission may find vinyl wrong for some buildings. Siding can't cover existing details or ornament, and where synthetic siding is allowed, the Commission asks for detailed drawings or samples of the trim first. For a house in the district, we check its status before we quote and price wood or fiber cement alongside vinyl so you can see the options.

Siding Materials We Install in Methuen

A pre-war two-family and a 1990s colonial don't need the same siding. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your house before you decide.

Local Siding, Not a Sales Pitch

Methuen Siding From 15 Minutes Away

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 12 miles from Methuen by I-93. Siding is regular work for us.

The City's master plan describes dense two- and three-story multi-family homes in the Arlington Neighborhood, mostly single-family homes on small lots around the Center, and mostly newer development in the West End. Re-siding a three-story house on a narrow lot takes staging and more trim work around the windows than a one-story ranch does, and we price each house on its own.

New siding in Methuen needs a building permit from the City of Methuen's Inspections Division, in the Searles Building at 41 Pleasant Street, Suite 203 (978-983-8625). The City's fee schedule charges $13 per $1,000 of stated construction value for alterations, with a $50 minimum. We pull the permit on every Methuen siding job.

In the Searles Tenney Nevins Historic District, the Historic District Commission signs off first. Its Certificate of Appropriateness covers any exterior change you can see from a street, and the Commission has up to 60 days to decide, so we build that time into the schedule.

Methuen gets the same freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain we see in Tewksbury, and both work on old clapboard and first-generation vinyl until the seams open. On any Methuen siding job, we start with waterproofing at the seams, corners, and window trim.

We install vinyl lap siding, vinyl cedar impression siding, fiber cement siding, and traditional wood siding in Methuen, whichever fits your house, its age, and your budget, with Senco's 10-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing.
