How to choose
Not sure which service fits?
If something broke or blew off, start with siding repair or storm damage repair. If the walls are tired all over, read the installation page and the two material pages before you call, so you can ask the contractor about vinyl and fiber cement side by side.
On older Boston houses the answer often depends on what is underneath. Many triple-deckers carry two or three layers, and only a look behind the outer layer shows whether the sheathing is sound. Mention the age of the house and any layers you know about when you call.
Materials at a glance
Picking a material before you call
Vinyl is the low-upkeep choice found on many triple-deckers. Fiber cement suits owners who want a painted look with more impact resistance. Wood clapboard and cedar shingles remain the traditional choice and may be expected in historic districts. Each service page explains what that material asks of the installer.
