Siding Installation, Replacement, and Painting

Siding Installation, Replacement, and Painting in Arlington

As siding contractors in Arlington, we handle new installations, full replacements, and siding painting – one licensed and insured crew from start to finish. Explore our siding services.

Siding installation

New siding starts underneath the surface. We check the sheathing, apply house wrap, detail the flashing around windows and corners, then install panels to manufacturer spec so wind-driven rain stays outside where it belongs.

Siding replacement

When patching no longer makes sense, we strip the old siding, haul it off, and inspect what’s behind it – firming up any soft sheathing before the new panels go on. We clean up the site at the end of every workday.

Siding painting

If the existing siding is still in good shape, a fresh coat of paint can give the exterior a whole new look without the cost of replacing it. We prep the surface, address peeling or damaged areas, and apply the right finish for a clean result that withstands New England weather.

Siding Materials

Siding Materials Built for New England Weather

Six material options compared on freeze-thaw performance. Each material reacts differently to New England’s freeze-thaw swings. Compare expansion, moisture resistance, and upkeep below, then see siding services across Massachusetts.

Vinyl siding

Rigid PVC panels that never rot and never need repainting. Quality vinyl is hung with room to expand and contract, so it rides out January-to-April temperature swings without buckling – the easiest option to keep clean year after year.

Fiber cement

A blend of cement, sand, and cellulose that shrugs off moisture, fire, and insects. Because it absorbs so little water, it stays dimensionally stable through freeze-thaw cycles that split softer materials – with a crisp painted wood look.

Wood siding

Wood is hard to beat if you want that real, old-house look. It works especially well on traditional New England homes, but there’s a tradeoff: you’ll need to stay on top of paint or stain so moisture doesn’t start causing problems.

Composite siding

Composite siding is a good middle ground if you like the look of wood but don’t want to spend your weekends maintaining it. It handles moisture well, doesn’t have the same rot concerns as traditional wood, and comes in different profiles and finishes to suit the house.

ACRE siding

ACRE has a surprisingly wood-like feel, but you don’t have to treat it like lumber. It can be worked much like wood during installation and withstands moisture, rot, and insects, making it worth considering for homeowners who want the natural look with less maintenance.

Boral/TruExterior siding

Boral and TruExterior are worth a look when the details of the house matter as much as the siding itself. The materials work well with various profiles, trim pieces, and architectural details, so there’s more room to make the finished exterior look the way you want.

properties we serve

Arlington Properties We Serve

Solutions matched to your building’s era and architecture. As siding contractors in Arlington, we plan every job around the building itself – its era, its framing, and how it’s used. Our licensed and insured crews serve homes and commercial properties alike, and can coordinate Arlington roofing services when both need attention.

Historic homes and colonials

Arlington’s Victorians, Cape Cods, and center-entrance colonials carry details worth protecting. We match panel profiles, trim widths, and shadow lines to the original character, and work carefully around historic district expectations on older streets.

Newer residential builds

Ranches, split-levels, and recent construction around Arlington Heights and East Arlington have straighter walls and modern sheathing. That lets us focus on clean corners, tight seams, and a tidy finish that holds up year after year.

Commercial and multi-family buildings

Storefronts, small offices, condo associations, and two- and three-family homes need exterior work that respects tenants and customers. We stage our crews to limit disruption and keep entrances, walkways, and parking clear throughout the job.

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.

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.

Arlington Siding Questions, Answered

Is insulated vinyl siding worth it for Massachusetts homes?

Often, yes. The foam backing hugs the wall, cutting drafts that slip past the studs and stiffening each panel so it stays flat and quiet in winter wind. It pairs well with Arlington window installation when drafts are your main complaint.

What factors affect siding installation costs in the Arlington area?

Wall square footage, the number of corners, windows, and dormers, the material you pick, and whether old siding or rotted sheathing has to come off. Trim and fascia work adds to it. Your written estimate itemizes each line, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

What shapes the timeline of a siding replacement project?

Home size and detailing, the material chosen, any rot we uncover once the old siding is off, and New England weather. We inspect the walls before we start, give you a realistic working window, and tell you right away if conditions change it.

What warranty comes with new siding installation?

Two layers of coverage: the manufacturer’s warranty on the siding product itself, and our workmanship warranty on the installation. Because our crews install to manufacturer specifications, that product coverage stays intact. Terms are in writing before work begins.

Is the company licensed, bonded, and insured in Massachusetts?

Yes, and we hand over the paperwork before you ask. When you compare siding contractors in Arlington, request a current certificate of insurance and a Massachusetts license number from each, and verify that the coverage is active on the day work starts.

What siding materials work best for older, historic New England homes?

Cedar keeps a true period look, while fiber cement and engineered wood can be ordered to match your original clapboard exposure and trim profiles – the same detailing behind our siding services in Lexington.

Can you repair rotted wood, fascia, or trim along with my siding?

Yes. If we find rotted wood, damaged fascia, or deteriorated trim during the project, we’ll point it out and explain what needs to be repaired before the new siding goes up. The goal is to address the problem behind the siding rather than cover it up.

How do I choose the right siding contractor in Arlington?

Look for a contractor who is licensed and insured, has experience with homes like yours, works with established siding manufacturers, and provides a detailed written estimate. It’s also worth asking who will handle permits, installation, and communication throughout the project.
