Choosing Siding for the Lowell Climate
Siding in Lowell has to cope with winter lows near 17°F and summer highs near 83°F. These are the local conditions that decide which material lasts:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Massachusetts sits in region 2.
Cold winters. Nights near 17°F reward a tight weather barrier. Taped house wrap and foam board under the siding also cut drafts, which shows up on the heating bill.
Salt air. Near the coast, salt corrodes ordinary fasteners. Stainless or hot-dip galvanized nails and corrosion-resistant trim coil keep siding from streaking and working loose.
Ice dams. Ice at the eaves can push meltwater behind the top courses of siding. Have the contractor check the soffit, roof edge and attic ventilation while the walls are open.
In Lowell, the mild weeks of spring and autumn are the favorite time for siding, so they fill first. Crews manage fine in summer; hard winter cold slows vinyl and caulk work. Siding costs for Lowell (Middlesex County) are figured on their own; Cambridge, the nearest listed city at roughly 20 miles southeast, has a separate price page.
