There is plenty of companies in the business that will install siding, but have you ever seen a home that just got nice brand new siding put on the home and it still looks plain, simple, or you can tell immediately there was nothing special to the project.

We Have been installing siding for 20 years. We enjoy and take pride in what we do. there is so many options today, vinyl cedar impressions, above is cedar impressions with a custom bent 908 window casement, the material used is called Grayne, it looks like the wood grain came right off the tree. beautiful material. Its not just about what is installed but really about the way it gets installed. Especially when it comes to the trim and metal work. it is important to take the extra time to make it tight and install it without bends or dents. you would think that would be an obvious statement. but you would be surprised.

Leominster Gardens Leominster MA, we had do do a big demo job to remove a ton of brick, all new plywood was installed on the walls, a brick sill was added under every window and doors, the chimney was demolished and rebuilt, sided as well, custom bent window casements, what a huge difference.

custom bent fascia, close up. I can post hundreds of pictures, but it would be a very long blog. I have actually heard people saying how easy it is to install siding, and end up having to redo everything they touched, unlocked panels, or they were cut to long and could not expand or contract, banging nails in to hard so the siding warps in the sun, not putting nails every 16" so you could actually grip the siding and pull it off the wall, the numerous products coming out all the time, you can never learn to much. but it is a craft. and it is too easy to make sloppy mistakes, if your rushing, or you dont know how to do it, I have found factory cut edges being overlapped
, instead of tucked, or siding not being over lapped enough, siding breaks facing the wrong way, they should always face away from the most traveled direction or opposite to the way the traffic travels closest to the house, it gives the appearance of a full piece of siding, Myself and 4 of my brothers are now all in the business, we are trained from our Dad, GrandDad, and Uncles. so at a early age of 13 working out doors in the sun, music playing in the background, working amongst loved family members was the best job in the world. But it took time to learn. and it did not happen over night. it takes years. Every house is different, sizes shapes etc. different ways of even prepping the house before installing siding, We were always learning. But when we were done we would always step back and enjoy what we just made the house look like. the same way someone would look at a beautiful sunset,

We would of loved to see more stone installed, but it was at the customers request.
