Seven Pines Home Improvement
Seven Pines Home Improvement installs vinyl siding on single-family homes across MetroWest, MA, including full tear-offs, overlays, and new construction runs, priced at $7 to $14 per square foot installed in 2026 and completed in 3 to 5 days for most homes.
Most of the housing stock across Shrewsbury, Northborough, and the surrounding MetroWest towns was built between the 1970s and 1990s. That original siding is now 30 to 50 years old, cracking, fading, and in many cases letting moisture into the sheathing underneath. New vinyl siding gives those homes a fully weatherproofed, low-maintenance exterior that holds color and sheds water without paint.
Marcony Araujo and Romero Araujo have been installing siding in Shrewsbury and surrounding Worcester County communities since 2016, registered under HIC #205267. This page covers what the installation includes, what it costs, how we do it step by step, and how to judge whether any crew did the job correctly.

Exterior Protection
Vinyl siding installation covers the full exterior envelope: the panels, the moisture barrier behind them, the trim at every edge, and the flashing at every penetration. Most of the housing stock across Shrewsbury, Northborough, and the surrounding MetroWest towns was built between the 1970s and 1990s. That original siding is now 30 to 50 years old, and at that age you are not choosing between replacement and waiting. You are choosing between planned replacement and emergency sheathing repair after water gets behind the wall.
The specific challenge in MetroWest is the thermal cycle. Worcester County averages around 64 inches of snow annually, with January lows that regularly drop below 20 degrees F. That expansion and contraction works fasteners loose, opens seams, and cracks older materials at the joints. Vinyl siding installed correctly, with nails left loose in the nail slot and panels able to slide with temperature swings, handles that movement without buckling or splitting. The work we do addresses the whole system: new panels, house wrap, trim, flashing, and cleanup.
Seven Pines Home Improvement handles vinyl siding projects on Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, raised ranches, and the oversized detached garages common to this part of Worcester County. If you are managing a property in Shrewsbury, Northborough, Grafton, or anywhere else in our service area, we quote after assessing the property. Scope and material condition drive the price, and we confirm the figure after measuring the home.
Vinyl Siding Services
From full tear-off and re-side to insulated panel upgrades, overlay installs, and new construction runs, Seven Pines handles every type of vinyl siding project across Shrewsbury, Northborough, and the surrounding MetroWest towns.
Full Tear-Off and Re-Side
A complete tear-off removes all existing cladding back to the sheathing, allowing a full inspection of the wall before new panels go up. It is the right scope when the original siding has aged past patchwork, when the sheathing needs assessment, or when a homeowner is upgrading from aluminum or wood to vinyl. Most 1,500 to 2,500 square foot MetroWest homes are completed in 3 to 5 days.
New Construction Install
New construction siding runs begin after the sheathing and house wrap are in place, working directly with the framing crew and general contractor's schedule. The wall is clean and plumb, which speeds the job and allows clean trim integration at every window, door, and roofline. We coordinate directly with the build schedule to keep the exterior closed on time.
Overlay Install
When the existing siding is structurally sound and the wall can absorb the added thickness at windows and doors without issue, installing new vinyl panels over the old material is a viable option. It avoids tear-off labor and disposal costs. We assess wall thickness tolerance and sheathing condition before recommending an overlay, because not every home qualifies and doing it wrong creates moisture problems.
Insulated Vinyl
Insulated vinyl panels have a layer of contoured foam bonded to the back of the panel that fills the gap between the siding and the wall, reducing thermal bridging and adding rigidity. Lines like the Alside Prodigy and Charter Oak series are common choices for MetroWest homeowners looking to improve energy performance alongside curb appeal. Insulated panels also produce a noticeably solid feel when you press on the wall.
Fiber Cement
For homeowners who want a product that handles freeze-thaw cycling and moisture better than standard vinyl, fiber cement is the next step up. It resists cracking in cold temperatures, holds paint longer than wood-based products, and works well on homes where the architectural detail calls for a clapboard or shingle appearance that reads as more traditional. We install and quote fiber cement alongside vinyl so homeowners can compare both paths.
Storm Restoration
Wind and ice events across MetroWest blow panels loose, crack corners, and force water behind the nail hem on the side of the house that takes the brunt. We assess the full extent of storm damage before quoting, because what is visible at the surface, a cracked panel or a missing section, often conceals wet sheathing or failed flashing underneath that has to be addressed before new panels go on.
Exterior Trim
Corner posts, J-channel, window and door casing, soffit panels, and fascia boards are what hold the vinyl siding system together at every edge and transition. Trim rot is one of the most common findings on MetroWest homes that have had water intrusion from ice dams or failed flashing at the roofline. We replace and integrate trim as part of a full siding project or as standalone work when the panels themselves are still sound.

| Option | Best for | Holds up to MetroWest winters | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tear-Off and Re-Side | Homes where existing siding is cracked, faded, or allowing moisture into the sheathing | Excellent when paired with fresh house wrap and proper flashing at all transitions | Siding Contractor |
| Overlay Installation | Re-side over existing siding where wall structure qualifies and window and door tolerances allow | Good, provided the existing wall is dry and the overlay does not trap moisture at transitions | Overlay Installation |
| Insulated Vinyl Siding | Homeowners upgrading thermal performance on 1970s to 1990s homes with minimal wall insulation | Excellent, the foam backer reduces thermal bridging and keeps panel profiles straighter in extreme cold | Fiber Cement Siding |
| New Construction Siding Install | Additions, garages, or new builds where no old material needs removal | Good, fastest path to a weatherproofed envelope on new framing | New Construction Install |
| Cedar Shake Siding | High-end natural finish on Colonial or craftsman-style homes where vinyl is not the preferred look | Good with proper installation and maintenance; requires more upkeep than vinyl | Cedar Shake Siding |
| Siding Repair | Localized panel damage where the surrounding material is still sound | Extends life of an existing system when damage is caught early and matched correctly | Siding Repair |
| Exterior Trim Replacement | Rotted fascia, corner boards, or window and door casing alongside a siding project | Good, trim rot from ice-dam water intrusion is common in this housing stock | Exterior Trim Replacement |

Hiring Guide
The right vinyl siding proposal should explain what gets removed, what goes behind the new panels, which credentials apply, and how every trim transition and penetration is handled. These four details reveal whether an estimate covers the full exterior system or only the visible field panels.
Before any vinyl panel goes up, a contractor should specify in writing what comes off: existing siding, old felt or house wrap, and any damaged sheathing. On 1970s and 1980s MetroWest homes, rotted OSB or board sheathing is common and often invisible until the old siding is stripped. A scope that skips this step leaves the homeowner absorbing the cost of surprises once the wall is open mid-project.
A properly installed water-resistive barrier and step flashing at every window and door opening is what separates vinyl siding that lasts from siding that traps moisture behind it. Ask to see these called out in the written estimate. House wrap should lap shingle-style from bottom to top, and flashing must be integrated at every penetration and transition. A price that omits these items is not a lower price, it is a deferred failure.
Massachusetts requires a Home Improvement Contractor registration for any contractor doing exterior work on a residential property. The license number should appear on the written contract, state law requires it. Seven Pines carries HIC registration number 205267, on file with the state as required. Verify any contractor's number at the state's consumer affairs portal before signing a contract.
Vinyl siding fails most often at transitions: around windows, at corner posts, where the wall meets the foundation, and at every penetration such as electrical outlets, hose bibs, and vents. An estimate that addresses the field panels and ignores J-channel, utility trim, and penetration flashing is incomplete. Ask specifically how each transition is handled and what material covers it. That is where the installer's experience shows.

Vinyl siding installation in the MetroWest market runs $7 to $14 per square foot installed. Price moves with home size and stories, removal and disposal of existing siding, sheathing condition, panel grade and thickness, trim complexity at dormers or bay windows, insulated versus standard panels, and site accessibility. We confirm the figure after measuring the property.
We install panels from CertainTeed Monogram and Cedar Impressions, Mastic Ovation and Structure, Royal Celect, and Alside Charter Oak and Prodigy insulated lines. Thickness runs from builder-grade .040-inch through premium .046- to .052-inch stock. Thicker panels hold their profile better on walls with minor irregularities and produce a tighter, more consistent reveal line.
Installation follows ASTM D4756 and the Vinyl Siding Institute installation manual. We drive corrosion-resistant nails with a minimum one-inch penetration into sheathing or studs and leave each nail slightly loose in the nail slot so panels can expand and contract with MetroWest temperature swings. The starter strip is set level within one-eighth of an inch over ten feet, and flashing is integrated at every penetration and transition.
The Town of Shrewsbury Building Inspector's Office administers permits under 780 CMR, the Massachusetts State Building Code, and applications are submitted through the town's online permitting system. We handle the permit process as part of the project, and our registration is on file with the state under MA HIC 205267 as required for licensed home improvement work.
We take on full tear-off and re-side jobs, new construction siding installs, re-side-over-existing overlay projects where the wall structure qualifies, and insulated vinyl siding upgrades. The right approach depends on sheathing condition, wall thickness tolerance at windows and doors, and the performance level the homeowner wants. Get a Quote to find out which path fits your home.
Expect J-channel, the trim piece framing window and door edges; starter strip, the base course setting the angle for every panel above; nail hem or nail slot, where fasteners attach; house wrap, the water-resistive barrier behind the siding; and double-4 or double-5 profile, which describes the width of each exposed panel face. We walk through all of it before work begins.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 3-year warranty. If an issue is caused by our work, we'll return promptly to inspect it and make it right at no additional cost during the warranty period. The warranty covers the installation itself; manufacturer defects in the panel material are handled through the product warranty that comes with the specific line installed.
