Plum ProExteriors is a full exterior contractor headquartered on Route 9 in Wellesley, a straight run west to Framingham. Our crews replace siding and roofs, install windows and doors, build decks and hang seamless gutters across the city, from Saxonville and Nobscot on the north side to Framingham Centre, Downtown and the Southside neighborhoods toward Ashland.
Framingham has the widest range of housing in MetroWest: nineteenth-century mill housing and Victorians in Saxonville, Framingham Centre's historic district, postwar capes and ranches on the north side, and whole neighborhoods of 1960s and 1970s splits and colonials. The jobs are usually catch-up jobs, replacing what the house was built with in the right order, and one contractor makes sure the roof edge, gutters, siding and window flashing meet the way they should.
- One estimate that covers every part of the job, in the order it should be built
- One point of contact from the first visit through the final walkthrough
- Framingham permits and inspections filed and scheduled by our team
- Manufacturer warranties plus Plum ProExteriors labor coverage
Licensed and insured: Massachusetts HIC 193823, CSL 115189, Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor LR004195. Every estimate is free.

A complete siding and deck renovation in Framingham. The brown siding hid rotted plywood, and the old deck was past repair. Both came off, and the house got a deep blue Hardie exterior with white trim and a new composite deck on helical posts.
We repaired the rotted plywood sheathing and installed new James Hardie house wrap before replacing the siding with James Hardie clapboard and straight-edge shingles, both at a 4-inch exposure in a Cedarmill finish and Deep Ocean color, with James Hardie trim in Arctic White. We removed the old deck down to the ground and built a new frame supported by Techno Metal Post helical posts, finished with TimberTech decking and railings.

Saxonville keeps Framingham's oldest houses: mill-era workers' housing, Victorians and two-families around the falls, with wood clapboard, tall windows and deep porches. Framingham Centre has the historic district around the common with early colonials and Federal-period homes under review. Nobscot, Pheasant Hill and the north side are the 1950s to 1970s capes, ranches, splits and garrison colonials, most with original single-pane windows, aluminum or first-generation vinyl siding and decks built before the current code. Downtown and the Southside mix triple-deckers, two-families and small capes.
The common Framingham package is siding, windows and a front door on a postwar house, with a new roof and gutters when they are due and a composite deck on new footings. Framingham's six local historic districts, Centre Common first among them, review exterior changes visible from the street, and houses built before 1978, which is most of the city, get lead-safe work by a licensed crew. We price the whole exterior in the order it should be built and quote each piece separately so you can phase it.
See our historic home remodeling page and our guide to the right order for an exterior renovation.
permits in framingham: who files them and where
We pull the permit for every job that needs one. In Massachusetts a building permit is required for re-roofing, re-siding, full-frame window replacement, any change to a door or window opening and every deck, and Framingham applies those rules through Framingham Inspectional Services (the Building Department). Many towns also require a permit for same-size insert windows, and we file one wherever the town asks for it. The permit is filed under our Construction Supervisor License, which makes us, not you, responsible for the inspections and the code compliance.
Massachusetts lets an owner-occupant of a one or two family home pull a permit under a homeowner affidavit, but that makes you the contractor of record and waives the state Guaranty Fund protection you have when a registered contractor pulls it. If a contractor asks you to pull the permit, ask why.
After the work passes its final inspection, the permit is closed and the record stays with the house, which is what a buyer's inspector and a lender look for when you sell.
what needs a permit in framingham
- Re-roofing, including a tear-off down to the deck
- Re-siding and any change to trim that alters the weather barrier
- Full-frame window replacement, and same-size inserts where the town asks for it
- Entry and patio doors that change the size of the opening
- Every deck, porch and set of exterior stairs, new or rebuilt
- In a local historic district, a certificate from the district commission first
Homes built before 1978 are handled lead-safe under our Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor certification LR004195.
- Where
- Framingham Inspectional Services (the Building Department), the Memorial Building, Room 203. Phone (508) 532-5500.
- How
- Residential building permits go through Framingham's OpenGov permitting and licensing portal, including a residential short form for one and two family homes. We submit the application, the scope of work and the product specifications and track the review there.
- Fee
- Framingham charges $15 per $1,000 of the actual cost of construction, $50 minimum, and adjusts the fee if the final cost differs. It is included in our quote.
- Timing
- Framingham does not publish a fixed review time for residential permits. Simple re-roof, re-side and window permits usually issue within a few weeks, and we build that into the schedule before ordering materials.
- Historic review
- Framingham has six local historic districts, including Centre Common, Jonathan Maynard and John Hemenway. The Historic District Commission issues a certificate of appropriateness before exterior work visible from a public way begins, within 45 days of application; vinyl and aluminum siding and windows are not allowed inside a district, while paint and roof colors, storm windows and storm doors are exempt.

frequently asked questions
Do you handle building permits in Framingham?
Yes. We file the permit with Framingham's Building Division, schedule the inspections and keep the permit posted on site. Framingham requires permits for re-roofing, re-siding, full-frame windows, exterior door openings and all decks. Homes in the Framingham Centre Common Historic District go through the Historic District Commission for changes visible from the street, and we add that step.
Do you serve all of Framingham?
Yes: Saxonville, Nobscot, Pheasant Hill, Framingham Centre, Downtown, the Southside and the neighborhoods along Route 9 and Route 30. Our office is on Route 9 in Wellesley, a straight drive west.
Can you phase a whole-exterior project in Framingham?
Yes. We quote each piece separately and recommend the order: roof first, then windows and doors, then siding, then gutters, then the deck. You can do it all at once or spread it over seasons without redoing any flashing.
Do exterior contractors need a license in Massachusetts?
Yes. Residential exterior work must be done by a contractor registered under the Home Improvement Contractor program, and structural work such as decks and full-frame windows requires a licensed Construction Supervisor to pull the permit. Plum ProExteriors holds both: HIC 193823 and CSL 115189, plus Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor certification LR004195 for homes built before 1978.
Can you do several exterior projects at once?
Yes, and it is usually the better choice. Combining work lets us sequence the jobs correctly, share setup and cleanup, and make sure the flashing between roof, siding, windows and gutters is done by one crew. We quote the combination and the pieces separately so you can decide.
