Why Choose Professional Siding in Cambridge, Massachusetts?
Many of the most beautiful homes in Cambridge were built long before modern siding existed. Original wood clapboards and shingles have character, but after a century of New England weather, they often need more than another coat of paint. Alfa Construction helps Cambridge homeowners make the transition to fiber cement or engineered wood siding that captures the historic look while eliminating the rot and maintenance problems that plague original materials.
Beneath the surface of many Cambridge historic homes, water damage has been silently spreading for years. By the time homeowners notice interior signs — stains on walls, musty odors, soft spots in floors — the siding has already failed and the sheathing behind it may be compromised. Addressing siding failure early is far less costly than waiting for structural damage.
Alfa Construction offers Cambridge homeowners fiber cement siding that replicates the look of original wood clapboard down to the grain texture and shadow lines — but never rots, never attracts insects, and never needs scraping. We match reveal widths and corner details to your home's era, delivering an exterior that looks authentically historic and performs like modern engineering.
Siding Note for Cambridge
Cambridge's historic commissions in neighborhoods like Mid-Cambridge and Avon Hill carefully regulate siding materials, typically requiring natural wood that matches the original profiles and exposure dimensions of existing buildings.
Your Cambridge home has endured generations of New England weather — give it the siding it deserves. Alfa Construction provides expert installation using materials that replicate historic profiles while eliminating the rot and maintenance that burden original wood.

New siding is installed following manufacturer specifications and building code requirements. Every panel is leveled, properly gapped for expansion, and fastened securely. We pay special attention to corners, windows, doors, and transitions where water infiltration is most likely.
