In the meantime, read about the best siding options for New England homes, below.

1. Wood Siding

Wood siding is a classic and timeless look that you’ll find throughout New England. It offers an aesthetic appeal with its natural look, along with beneficial insulation to keep out the cold during the winter. When properly treated and maintained, wood siding can perform well in the region’s climate. For those who prioritize the environment in their home improvement decisions, wood siding is a very eco-friendly option. Something to consider though is the regular maintenance wood siding requires to keep out moisture and pests.

2. Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for New England homeowners. Made of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, it withstands harsh weather well and is even fire resistant. This robust choice also does not require much maintenance. A downfall for some homeowners though may be the cost because fiber cement siding is more labor-intensive and will also require proper sealing. We urge you to read about our customers’ positive experiences with their fiber cement siding if you’re considering this option! 

3. Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is a well-known choice for a reason—it’s low maintenance, affordable, durable, and comes in a variety of styles and colors. Its resistance to moisture makes it a great siding option for rainy New England, while also helping to prevent issues with mold and mildew during the humid summers. Vinyl also doesn’t warp or crack under cold weather. However, a downfall to be aware of is that it’s prone to fading over time and will require touch-ups. Learn more about why vinyl siding is such a homeowner favorite directly from our customers!

A & A Services installed new sliding doors and removed the old ones. I am so pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, and friendly manner.

I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!

Teresa S.

A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.
