Where We Focus on Historic Home Remodels

Older Massachusetts homes carry character worth protecting — and details worth getting right. At Plum ProExteriors, we approach every historic house restoration by matching materials and methods to the home’s original architecture, the demands of the New England climate, and the preservation standards your project may need to meet. As a licensed and insured exterior remodeling contractor, we focus our work on three areas where careful craftsmanship makes the biggest difference for period homes:

Period-Correct Siding

We match clapboard, shingle, and trim profiles to your home’s era so repairs and replacements blend seamlessly. Explore siding options for old houses to see how we preserve original character while improving weather resistance.

Roofing That Respects the Roofline

Steep pitches, dormers, and historic silhouettes call for roofing done right. We install durable systems suited to New England weather while keeping the lines and proportions that define an older home.

WINDOWS, DOORS & Decks

From restoring sightlines on original window openings to building decks that suit a period exterior, we handle the finishing details. See our full exterior remodeling services for how these pieces come together.

We had a great experience with Plum Pro overall. Yuk was very professional and well-organized while working with us on a proposal and contract to fix our deck after it was severely damaged by a fallen tree. He set us up with an accelerated timeline to help us coordinate this project with some of our other repairs, and aside from some weather delays stuck to it pretty well overall.

Yuk and his team did a wonderful job with our siding, roof and windows. From the very first meeting through the whole project, Yuk and his team have been caring, professional, and respectful. The communication and transparency were outstanding, reflecting their confidence in the quality of their work and their respect for their clients.

The best contractor I’ve worked with on any project. Excellent communication throughout the whole process, took time to answer any questions or concerns, and the crew was great. They kept the work site very clean every day. We’re very happy with the results and with the whole process. Highly recommend.

We could not have asked for a better team than Plum ProExteriors for our siding and window project. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. At our initial meeting, Yuk did a great job of explaining all of the different options available for our project. He then provided us with a very detailed estimate that gave us the confidence that there would not be any hidden/surprise costs/fees, which there were not. Once the contract was signed, Yuk did a great job of communicating when the project would start.

Yuk and the crew at Plum ProExteriors did an excellent job installing 7 Pella Architectural double-hung windows in my 1911 Dutch Colonial. Prior to providing a proposal, Yuk measured not once but twice to ensure the windows fit perfectly. Two of three windows were part of a bay window where the frames were no longer perfectly square. None the less, the crew got the windows to fit without issue. They finished with caulking any gaps inside and out for all the windows and finished the job in one day. The crew was clean and neat and even took away the old storm window frames. I already have received compliments on how well the windows look. Their price was fair and I would definitely hire Plum ProExteriors again. Thanks guys!

Yuk is definitely an A+. I felt very comfortable with him and trusted throughout the entire process. We ran into a few issues along the way and that’s to be expected, but Yuk was always available and made good on his promises. If I had to criticize one thing it would be that he doesn’t have a great carpenter for interior finish work, but in fairness he did make me aware that this was not something his crew normally does. Love the end product and the neighbors do too!

We have a full house of windows to replace and we are so happy we found Yuk thanks to a recommendation on a local Facebook group. Yuk quoted the entire job and was transparent in his pricing. Yuk was patient walking us through the process and updating quotes when we decided to start only with the largest and least efficient windows.

I hired Plum ProExteriors based on the quality of work I saw when I came across a renovation project they were doing in the area. I had roof, windows, doors, siding and decking done.I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge Yuk has in his trade. Communication was excellent. He kept me updated on the progress when I wasn’t there. Yuk and his crew worked efficiently and more importantly the quality of work was exceptional.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my home qualifies as historic in Massachusetts?

Homes are often considered historic if they are located in a local historic district or listed on the state or National Register. Your city or town hall can confirm your status, and our team can help you check before any historic home remodeling begins.

Do I need approval from a historic commission before starting work?

Often yes. Many Massachusetts towns require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the local historic commission before exterior work. We coordinate permits and approvals so your project stays on the right side of preservation rules.

Can I use modern materials in a historic home remodel?

In many cases, yes. We pair period-appropriate looks with durable modern products for siding, roofing, windows, and doors — preserving the character your home is known for while improving long-term performance.

Should I restore or replace the original windows in my historic home?

It depends on their condition and your commission’s guidelines. Sound originals are often worth restoring, while failing units may need careful replacement. We assess each window and recommend the option that respects both the home and the rules.
