Your local siding contractor in Somerville
Every siding quote in Somerville should be comparable line by line — scope, materials, timeline, price. Ours is, deliberately, because vague quotes are where budgets go wrong. Waterfront Construction is Northborough-based, licensed (HIC #196540) and insured, and the estimate is free either way.
Somerville is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1842 and home to roughly 81,000 people. Its growth came with the mills and the railroads, so much of the older housing is mid-1800s worker and merchant stock — balloon framing, deep sash windows, and porches that have usually been rebuilt at least once. We know the town well — from Davis Square, Union Square and Ball Square to the quieter streets — and our siding crews reach Somerville quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 35 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
Material choice drives most of the cost difference on a siding project. Rather than quote one option, we walk Somerville homeowners through what each tier actually buys in durability, upkeep and appearance — so the budget goes where it matters to you, not where it matters to us.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Somerville projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.

Siding replacement is not on the Massachusetts exemption list.
780 CMR’s exempt-work list covers finish work like painting and tiling, and small unattached decks — it does not exempt re-siding a house. Expect a building permit, and expect the inspector to care about the weather barrier and any rot repair found during tear-off. We handle the filing and the inspection.
For siding work in the City of Somerville, the filing goes to Somerville's building and inspectional services department. As a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540) we pull the permit in our name, book the inspections and meet the inspector on site — you never have to take a day off for it. Requirements do change, so we confirm the current position with Somerville's office before any work starts.
