Leominster has a lot of older multifamily housing near downtown: triple-deckers, two-families and big old colonials split into apartments. Head out toward Route 2 and you'll find capes, ranches and newer developments. If you own a multifamily, your exterior takes more wear than most. You've got more people coming and going, more doors opening and closing, and more stairs and porches to keep safe for your tenants.
These homes face the same New England weather as everyone, but older buildings show it faster. Back porches and stairs rot from the bottom up. Asbestos or cedar shingle hides under aluminum or vinyl from decades ago. Ice pulls old gutters off the fascia, and wind-driven rain gets behind loose trim on the upper floors where nobody looks until a ceiling stains.
We re-side multifamily and single-family homes in vinyl or fiber cement over a taped Tyvek wrap. We rebuild decks and porches with solid footings and new railings. Gutters go up as 5-inch K-style aluminum with downspouts pitched to drain. If you need to spread out the cost, Hearth financing has no-money-down options. We come up from our Auburn shop.
