Question 1

Vinyl vs. fiber cement (Hardie) — which should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Vinyl is the most affordable, requires zero maintenance, and lasts 25–40 years. Fiber cement (Hardie) costs 50–80% more but lasts 50+ years, looks more like real wood, and significantly increases home value — often the better long-term choice in Newton's market.

Question 2

Do you tear off the old siding or just go over it?

Accepted Answer

We always recommend a full tear-off. Going over existing siding hides whatever moisture damage is underneath and almost always fails the manufacturer warranty. The slightly higher cost upfront protects you for the next 30+ years.

Question 3

How long does a siding install take?

Accepted Answer

A typical single-family home takes 7–14 working days, depending on size, story count, and weather. Larger homes or fiber cement installs (which require more labor) can run 2–4 weeks. We give you a daily-progress timeline before starting.

Question 4

Will new siding lower my energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially when paired with new house wrap and properly flashed windows and doors. Insulated vinyl and fiber cement with continuous insulation can cut heating and cooling losses by 15–25% in older Newton homes.

Question 5

How much does new siding cost in Newton, MA?

Accepted Answer

Vinyl siding typically runs $8–$13 per sq ft installed; insulated vinyl $12–$17; fiber cement $14–$22 per sq ft. Most full single-family homes land between $22,000 and $55,000 fully installed including tear-off, wrap, flashing, and trim. Detailed written estimate provided.
