Cedar shingle and clapboard repair for Wellesley Hills and Wellesley Farms, about 15 minutes from our door
Siding Repair & Replacement in Wellesley, MA
In Wellesley, MA, siding repair mostly means wood: cedar shingle and clapboard colonials that rot under windows, behind corner boards and along a shaded north wall. We cut out the bad wood, match the exposure and repaint it; when a whole elevation is past patching, we replace the siding instead.

Houses in Wellesley
Wellesley is a town of cedar and clapboard colonials, pre-war and post-war, with newer fiber cement and vinyl houses in Wellesley Farms and Wellesley Hills. The weak spots repeat: corner boards, window casings, the bottom course and a shaded north wall that never dries.
What we fix most often here
- Rotted clapboard and shingles at corners, under windows and along the bottom course: cut out the bad wood, back-prime new boards, match the exposure.
- Peeling paint on wood. The repair crew also scrapes, primes and paints: wood and cedar siding repair and painting.
- Failed trim and corner boards where the caulk let go.
- Storm damage after a nor’easter, with 24-hour emergency service.
If a failed gutter rotted the wall, that repair is under other exterior services.
Repair or replace?
A rotted section under a window or a split corner board is a siding repair, and repair is most of what we do. When shingles are cupped and thin across whole elevations, we talk about siding replacement and say so up front.
Permits and historic districts
Patching a few clapboards rarely involves the town; re-siding the whole house usually does.
On a listed house or inside a local historic district, check with the town’s historical commission before the siding material, shingle exposure or trim profile changes.
Every pre-war colonial in town was painted long before 1978.

Questions homeowners ask
Do you repair cedar shingle siding in Wellesley, or only replace it?
We repair it. A rotted patch under a window or at a corner is cut out, re-shingled to the existing exposure and stained to blend in; replacement makes sense only when shingles are cupped or split across most of the wall.
How fast can you reach Wellesley Hills or Wellesley Farms after a storm?
Storm damage gets 24-hour emergency service, and Wellesley is one of our closest towns. Text a photo to (857) 245-9588 as soon as it is safe; the permanent repair is quoted once the wood has dried enough to probe.
Who paints the new clapboards on a Wellesley colonial after the repair?
We do. New boards are back-primed before they go up, bare wood is primed on the wall, and the finish coat is matched to the existing paint or stain. One crew means no gap between repair and paint.
Can you replace a rotted window casing or corner board along with the siding?
Yes, trim and corner work is part of the same job: the casing or corner board comes off, flashing goes in where there was none, and the new piece is primed on all sides before it is nailed and caulked.
