What We Install in North Reading
Senco Home Services is a licensed siding contractor serving North Reading, MA, and siding is part of the work we've already done in town. From tired vinyl to a house still in its first siding, we install new siding properly flashed, fully waterproofed, and backed in writing. For our full materials and process, see our main siding services page.
Siding for North Reading Homes From Every Decade
North Reading's houses run from the period homes of the old town center, with some in town dating to 1730, to homes built in the 1990s and since. The median home was built in 1975, and about 43% went up between 1950 and 1979. If the siding on one of those houses is original, wood clapboard or early vinyl, it's well past a normal service life. Original siding on a 1980s or 90s home is 25 years old or more. We handle the full job: removing the old siding, checking and repairing the sheathing, waterproofing every seam and corner, and installing new siding matched to your house.

Siding Materials We Install in North Reading
A midcentury ranch and a period colonial near the Common don't want the same siding. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your house before you decide.
Vinyl Cedar Impressions
5″ and 7″ exposure. The look of cedar shingles in multiple colors, nearly maintenance-free.
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie-style fiber cement looks like real wood, resists fire, and takes paint. It costs more than vinyl and holds strong resale value.
Wood Siding
Clapboard, lap siding, shakes, and shingles for traditional homes. With proper maintenance, wood siding lasts 20 to 40 years.

Why North Reading Homeowners Trust Senco
A siding job done once, done right

Backed by Senco, in Writing
New siding comes with Senco's own 10-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing, on top of the siding manufacturer's own product warranty. Both in writing, from the day your project is complete.

Siding From Our Tewksbury Shop
North Reading's Siding Contractor, 18 Minutes Out
Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 18 minutes from North Reading Center. We've already done siding work in North Reading, and the same crew handles the roof and gutters if your project needs them.
North Reading grew in waves. It went from 2,886 residents in 1940 to 11,264 by 1970, then kept building through the 80s and 90s, so North Reading siding comes in every age. We price a North Reading siding job on the house in front of us: a simple ranch is a different job than a colonial with dormers and several wall planes.
The town's older core matters for siding too. North Reading Center has what the town calls a well-preserved district of Federal-era period houses, and the Center Village Historic District covers nine buildings there. If your home is one of them, the Historic District Commission approves exterior changes, siding included, before work begins. Outside the district, from West Village along Park Street to the streets around Martins Pond, the Commission isn't involved.
North Reading requires a building permit for siding, filed online through PermitEyes with the Building Department at 235 North Street (978-357-5240). The fee is $13 per $1,000 of construction cost with a $75 minimum, and if the electric meter has to come off the wall, the town's electrical schedule lists a separate $75 meter-removal fee for siding. We file the building permit as part of the job and flag the meter step early.
Freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain work on old clapboard and early vinyl until the seams open and water gets behind the wall. Every North Reading siding job we run starts with waterproofing at the seams, corners, and window trim.
We install vinyl lap siding, vinyl cedar impressions, fiber cement, and traditional wood siding in North Reading, with waterproofing built in and Senco's 10-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing.

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

Siding questions
Do I need a permit for new siding in North Reading?
Yes. Siding is a named line on the North Reading Building Department's fee schedule: $13 per $1,000 of construction cost, with a $75 minimum, filed online through PermitEyes with the department at 235 North Street (978-357-5240). We file it as part of every North Reading siding job.
What if the electric meter has to come off for siding in North Reading?
North Reading's electrical fee schedule lists a separate $75 line for meter removal for siding. Not every job needs it. We'll tell you up front if yours does, so it isn't a surprise on install day.
My home is in the Center Village Historic District. Can I re-side it?
Possibly, but not without approval first. The North Reading Historic District Commission has to approve exterior changes to the nine buildings in the Center Village Historic District, under its 2008 design guidelines. We'll check your address and plan around the Commission's review before we order material.
Have you installed siding in North Reading before?
Yes. Siding is part of the work we've done in North Reading, along with roofing, roof repairs, gutters, windows, decks, and porches.
What's the difference between vinyl lap siding and vinyl cedar impressions?
Vinyl lap siding, in 4-inch and 5-inch exposure, is a durable, low-maintenance, budget-friendly option. Vinyl cedar impressions, in 5-inch and 7-inch exposure, give the look of cedar shingles while staying nearly maintenance-free. A garden hose is usually all it takes to clean either.
Do you really include free gutter installation with new siding?
Yes. Anyone who has new siding installed by Senco also gets free seamless gutter installation, so the whole exterior is protected at once.
Do you offer financing for siding?
Yes. Through our lending partner GreenSky, you can finance new siding at 0% for 12 months with no interest and no payments, or spread it out with 10- and 15-year plans. The credit check is a soft pull and won't affect your score.
