Plum ProExteriors is a full exterior contractor based on Route 9 in Wellesley, which makes Natick the closest town we serve. Our crews replace siding and roofs, install windows and doors, build decks and hang seamless gutters from Natick Center and South Natick to West Natick, the lake neighborhoods around Cochituate and the subdivisions off Speen Street and Oak Street.
Natick homes are mostly postwar: capes, ranches, splits and colonials built in the decades after the war, many of them now on their second or third roof, their first replacement windows and a deck that was built before the current code. When several of those come due at once, one contractor sequences the work, shares the setup and 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
- Natick 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 split-level renovation that was something new for us: the design came entirely from the homeowners, and the result is one of the sharpest houses we have worked on in Natick. Tired tan vinyl and builder windows went out; a two-tone Hardie exterior with red double entry doors came in.
We paired James Hardie clapboard siding at a 7-inch exposure with board-and-batten siding, both in Iron Gray, with James Hardie soffit and fascia in Midnight Black and new black seamless gutters to match. Behind the siding we installed Henry Blueskin VP100 self-adhesive house wrap over the whole shell. We also replaced 19 windows with new-construction Andersen 100 Series gliding windows, and framed the entry in a cedar surround that sets off the red doors.

Natick Center and the streets around the common keep the town's Victorians and early colonials, with wood clapboard, tall double-hung windows and deep porches. South Natick along the Charles has older farmhouses and capes with cedar shingles. West Natick and the neighborhoods near Lake Cochituate are the 1950s and 1960s capes, ranches and splits, built with single-pane windows, aluminum or asbestos-cement siding and hollow-core entry doors that have all reached the end of their lives. The newer subdivisions on the west side have larger colonials with builder-grade windows and decks that are now 20 to 30 years old.
The job in Natick is usually a catch-up: replacing everything the house was built with, in the right order, with materials that will not need the same work again in fifteen years. James Hardie and insulated vinyl siding, architectural shingles with proper ice barrier, Andersen and Harvey windows, fiberglass entry doors and composite decks on new footings are the common package. Natick's three local historic districts, Natick Center, Henry Wilson and John Eliot in South Natick, add a design review step for homes inside them, and we handle that paperwork.
See our historic home remodeling page and our guide to the right order for an exterior renovation.
permits in natick: 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 Natick applies those rules through Natick Building Department (Community and Economic Development). 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 natick
- 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
- The Natick Building Department (Community and Economic Development), Natick Town Hall, second floor. Phone (508) 647-6450, with inspectors available early morning and late afternoon.
- How
- Residential building permits go through Natick's OpenGov permits and licenses portal. We submit the application, the scope of work and the product specifications and track the review there.
- Fee
- Natick's building permit fee runs $15 per $1,000 of construction cost. It is included in our quote.
- Timing
- Natick 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
- Natick has three local historic districts: Natick Center along North Main Street, Henry Wilson along West Central Street, and John Eliot along Eliot Street in South Natick. Exterior work visible from a public way there needs a certificate from the Historic District Commission before it starts; storm doors, storm windows and paint color are exempt.

frequently asked questions
Do you handle building permits in Natick?
Yes. We file the permit with the Natick Building Department, schedule the inspections and keep the permit posted. Natick requires permits for re-roofing, re-siding, full-frame windows, exterior door openings and all decks. Homes in the Natick Center, Henry Wilson or John Eliot historic districts also go through the Historic District Commission for changes visible from the street, and we add that to the schedule.
Do you work on Natick's older homes?
Yes. Natick Center Victorians, South Natick farmhouses and the lake cottages all come through our schedule. We match trim and siding profiles, work lead-safe on anything built before 1978 and repair original details where that is the better answer.
How close are you to Natick?
Our office is on Route 9 in Wellesley, a few minutes east of the Natick line. Natick is the closest town we serve, which shows up in estimate scheduling and in how fast we can get back for a warranty call.
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.
