Gloucester’s coastline is beautiful, but it’s brutal on your home’s exterior. Salt spray, ocean wind, driving rain, and freeze-thaw cycles put constant stress on siding, trim, and the surfaces underneath. Homes along the waterfront, in Magnolia, East Gloucester, and around Rocky Neck see the worst of it — but even homes farther inland deal with the moisture and temperature swings that come with living on Cape Ann. When we install siding in Gloucester, we’re thinking about what’s behind it just as much as what’s on the surface — because that’s what determines whether your home stays dry and protected 10 or 20 years from now.
What Our Clients Say
“We live right on the ocean in Gloucester, and the weather absolutely beats up our house — constant wind, salt spray, storms rolling in off the water. After years of patching things, we finally decided to hire D&G Exteriors for a full roof replacement and some badly needed trim repairs. I’m so glad we did. Working on a house this close to the shoreline is no simple job…They installed new CertainTeed shingles, repaired the compromised areas, and replaced all the rotten fascia and trim with PVC so we won’t have to worry about it again. The house looks incredible now — sharper lines, cleaner edges, and a roof that finally feels like it can handle a real coastal storm.
The best part was how professional the whole process was. They kept the site tidy even with the wind constantly blowing debris around, communicated every day, and never left us guessing about what was happening next.
If you live anywhere near the water and need roofing or exterior work, D&G Exteriors is absolutely the company you want. Five stars, without hesitation.”

Gloucester’s housing stock ranges from historic sea captains’ homes downtown to mid-century ranches and capes in West Gloucester. Many of these homes are still wearing their original or second-round siding, and underneath it, salt air and moisture have often done more damage than you’d expect. We handle everything from full re-sides to targeted repairs — stripping the old material, inspecting and repairing what’s underneath, and building back with materials and methods that actually hold up on Cape Ann.
Siding costs depend on material, home size, and the condition of what’s underneath. A full vinyl siding replacement typically runs $35,000–$45,000. Hardie fiber cement or composite siding is higher — usually $60,000+ — but it lasts significantly longer and stands up much better to Gloucester’s coastal conditions. We provide detailed quotes after an on-site inspection so you know exactly what’s included.
Hardie fiber cement and composite siding are the top performers in coastal environments. They resist moisture, salt, and impact better than vinyl, and they hold paint far longer. Vinyl is still a solid, affordable option — especially modern insulated vinyl — but if you want maximum durability near the ocean, fiber cement or composite is the way to go. We’ll help you weigh the trade-offs during your consultation.
Most full re-siding projects take 2–3 weeks depending on the size of the home and scope of work. Smaller jobs like a single elevation or accent work can be done in a few days. We include a timeline in every proposal and keep you updated throughout the project.
Yes — we strip the old siding down so we can inspect the sheathing, house wrap, and structure underneath. Many Gloucester homes have hidden moisture damage from years of coastal exposure. Installing new siding over those problems just buries them. A clean teardown is the only way to do it right.
Vinyl is the most affordable and virtually maintenance-free, but it’s thinner and can fade or warp over time. Hardie fiber cement is heavier, more impact-resistant, and holds paint for 15+ years. Composite siding offers similar durability with a more natural wood-like appearance and very low maintenance. We’ll walk you through the differences and help you choose what makes sense for your home and budget.
Yes — especially if we upgrade the house wrap and add insulation behind the siding during installation. A lot of older Gloucester homes have minimal wall insulation, so a re-side is a great opportunity to tighten up the envelope and reduce heating costs at the same time.
