Spencer has a big share of older housing. You'll find mill-era homes near the center, plenty of capes and ranches, and farmhouses spread out on country roads. A lot of them have been re-sided once already, often right over the original wood without anyone checking what was under it. That's where rot, carpenter ants and soft sheathing hide, and you won't know until somebody pulls a few courses off and looks.
Out here, weather comes in hard. Nor'easters drive rain sideways into gable ends. Spring is wet and slow to dry. Open fields and lots let wind work loose any siding panel that wasn't fastened to spec. Older aluminum gutters get yanked off the fascia by ice, and then meltwater pours down against your foundation every thaw and soaks your basement walls.
Start with a free estimate. We walk your property, measure, and look behind the surface before we put a price on paper. Then we strip what needs to come off, fix the framing, and re-side over a taped Tyvek wrap. If paying all at once is tough, you can check Hearth financing with a soft credit pull that takes about a minute. Spencer is a short drive west of Auburn, out past Leicester.
