Local conditions
Exteriors in Somerville: Local Conditions
Many older Somerville homes may hide dated wiring, uneven framing, or repairs layered on by earlier owners. Under worn siding, sheathing and framing may have rot, so the first assessment covers the structure as well as the surface before the written estimate is put together.
What we often find under old siding:
- Soft sheathing behind the siding
- Failed flashing around openings
- Paint that peels on trim
- Drafty old windows and doors
- Worn porch steps
Signs it is time for exterior work:
- Doors let in air
- Paint wear off on the weather side
- Handrails are loose
- Moisture appears inside after storms
- You may sell and want better curb appeal
During the in-home visit, we check the surfaces and the areas exposed to weather, so there are fewer surprises once the old siding comes off.
Our process
Our Exterior Remodeling Process in Somerville
An exterior remodel in Somerville follows a set order: evaluation and planning, removal of old materials, repairs to framing and sheathing, then the weather barrier, flashing, windows, doors, and siding, and finally the trim, sealing, and paint. We check each phase before the next one goes on.
- 01
Inspection and Planning
We evaluate the siding, windows and doors, and framing before planning, and mark the areas weather has damaged.
- 02
Removal and Repair
Old materials come off, and any damaged framing or sheathing is repaired before the new layers go on.
- 03
Weather Barrier and Flashing
A continuous weather barrier is installed under the siding, with proper flashing at every opening.
- 04
New Openings
Energy-efficient windows and doors go in square, then flashed and sealed against water and drafts.
- 05
New Siding
Vinyl, fiber cement, wood, or composite siding is installed over the barrier, tied into the flashing.
- 06
Trim, Paint, and Coatings
Trim, sealing, painting, and protective coatings complete the envelope, followed by a final walkthrough.

FAQ
Exterior Remodeling in Somerville: Common Questions
Things Somerville homeowners often want to know ahead of remodeling an exterior, explained in plain words. The answers cover permits and inspections, the siding materials we install, new windows and doors, and how the free estimate works. If you need more detail, reach out and we will help.
Does an exterior remodel in Somerville need permits?
In many cases, yes. When a project touches the structure, enlarges a window or door opening, or builds a deck or porch, Somerville will expect permits and inspections. Our team prepares the applications, books the visits at the right phase, and keeps the job inspection-ready.
What kinds of siding can you put on a Somerville house?
We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and composite siding. Each one looks different, needs a different level of upkeep, and holds up differently in New England weather. We compare the options together during the estimate, and every installation includes a proper weather barrier with flashing at each opening.
Do you replace windows and doors?
Yes. We put in energy-efficient windows and new doors, sealed and flashed so water and drafts stay out. Damaged framing at the opening is fixed first, and new trim finishes the opening at the end, in the order that keeps the opening and the wall dry and weather-tight through every season.
