Siding Replacement in Essex, Vermont
Essex and Essex Junction have some of Chittenden County's largest stock of 1960s–1980s homes — split-levels, ranches, and colonials whose original siding is now well past replacement age. New siding stops moisture intrusion, cuts heating costs, and gives these homes a full facelift.
