Siding & Roof Replacement in Marshfield

A beautiful exterior transformation in Marshfield — from weathered dark shingles to a fresh, clean coastal finish.

For this project, we completed a full siding and roof replacement. The front elevation features James Hardie shingles across the main front wall, creating a classic New England look with long-lasting durability. The sides, back, and base were finished with clapboard siding, giving the home a clean and cohesive appearance from every angle.

The lighter siding color completely brightens the home, while the new trim details, gutters, and roofline upgrades give it a polished, refreshed finish.

Before: dark, aged exterior siding
After: Bright James Hardie shingle and clapboard finish
