Residential Siding

Low-Cost, Long-Lasting Siding Installation

Houses in South Shore and southeastern Massachusetts face some unique challenges, such as frequent and extreme temperature changes, wind-driven rain and snow, and salt-laden air. These forces of nature will eventually take a toll on your home’s exterior — especially the siding. Your home is your biggest investment. Quality siding is vital to the protection of your home.

All home siding needs proper upkeep and care, but even the most diligent maintenance can't hold off the effects of aging forever. Some of the signs of wear are pest damage, cracking, sagging, buckling, blistering, peeling, or fading.

Choose From Vinyl, Wood, and Fiber Cement Siding

Vinyl siding is very affordable and an excellent value when expertly applied by our experienced installers. Let us show you the many benefits of premium vinyl siding and how it can help you save money and enhance the beauty of your South Shore or southeastern Massachusetts home.

Versatile, durable, and carefree vinyl siding will enhance any home design. Cycle Carpentry offers only high-quality brands of vinyl siding from CertainTeed, Mastic, and MainStreet. These leading vinyl siding manufacturers offer wide arrays of styles, colors, soffit varieties, trim, and accessories to fit any style southern New England home. Whether your home is a Cape Cod, snug bungalow, ranch, or classic New England colonial, beautiful new vinyl siding will add lasting value and beauty.

Reasons to Choose Vinyl Siding

• Vinyl siding doesn’t need to be treated, painted, or stained.
• Vinyl is easy to keep beautiful. A yearly cleaning with a soft cloth or long-handled, soft-bristle brush will keep your vinyl siding looking great.
• Properly installed vinyl siding will shrug off the assault of cold, snow, rain, and salt served up by our coastal Massachusetts climate.
• Vinyl siding won’t decay and doesn’t readily dent, crack, peel, chip, or show scratches.
• With its broad array of available styles and colors, vinyl siding looks great no matter the architectural style of your home.

Natural red cedar siding has long been the favorite wooden siding choice for southern New England homes. Discriminating homeowners appreciate the natural beauty and superior stability of a home sided with cedar wooden shingles. No other wooden siding can equal the beauty of natural cedar’s warm mellow tones, ranging from light amber to deep honey brown.

Both white and red cedars contain tannins and natural oils that act as natural preservatives and protect wooden siding against moisture, decay, and insects. Cedar is strong and light, but also very stable, producing siding that lies flat and stays straight. High-quality cedar siding will be free of pitch and resin. Its richly glowing surface can be enhanced with full-bodied earth-tone or transparent stains and paints. With the proper finish and maintenance, cedar wooden siding ages gracefully and lasts for many years.

Cycle Carpentry offers many different styles and types of cedar wood siding or cladding. Choices include red or white cedar beveled clapboards, cedar shingles, and thicker, more rough-cut cedar shakes. Our large selection of grades and patterns ensures we’ll have the perfect cedar wooden siding to match your home’s design and your budget. We only install quality cedar wood siding that should last as long as you own your home while providing an outstanding appearance and value.

Reasons to Choose Cedar Siding

• Exceptionally beautiful, richly textured cedar wood siding features a tactile grain and a rich palette of available colors.
• Cedar doesn’t leak sticky sap or absorb moisture, so your wooden siding won’t attract dirt, hungry worms, or termites.
• Tight-grained durable cedar wooden shingles are less likely to shift, warp, or shrink than other wood siding.
• Cedar contains natural preservatives and oils that allow your wood shingles to shrug off the water that can encourage the growth of fungus, mold, and mildew.
• The characteristic subtle and persistent aroma of cedar wooden siding adds another dimension to its universal appeal.
• Shingles made from cedar come from a “green” renewable resource used on homes for centuries.

Fiber cement siding is an extremely durable composite material that combines cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. Made to resemble the beauty and character of real wood, fiber cement siding is a cost-effective and low-maintenance siding solution for your South Shore or South Coast Massachusetts home.

Virtually maintenance-free cement fiber siding will not rot, buckle, or warp, and it holds paint longer than conventional wood siding. Fiber cement siding is also resistant to water, fire, and termites, and it's backed by long-term warranties.
