Professional Board & Batten Contractor in Holliston, MA
Board-and-batten siding installation and replacement across Massachusetts. Alfa Construction installs vertical wide-board cladding with narrow battens covering the seams, building the dramatic farmhouse and modern-farmhouse look the right way. We take full-exterior re-sides, not patch jobs.
Why Choose Professional Board & Batten in Holliston, Massachusetts?
If your Holliston home feels flat and dated, board-and-batten can transform it without changing its footprint. Alfa Construction offers vertical siding replacement that swaps tired flat cladding for dramatic vertical boards and battens, improving your home's appearance, weather resistance, and curb appeal all at once.
Many Holliston homeowners try to chase the modern-farmhouse look with DIY or budget board-and-batten, only to end up with battens that are crooked, unevenly spaced, or already separating from the boards. The vertical look only works when the spacing is dead consistent and the fastening is right, and that is exactly where shortcut installations fall apart.
Our board-and-batten process for Holliston homes includes full removal of the old cladding, substrate inspection and replacement, a fresh weather-resistant barrier, and furring to create the flat plane vertical panels require. We hang every board plumb, set battens at consistent spacing, and flash every window head and base condition so your Holliston exterior performs as good as it looks.
