Siding in Dover, NH

Dover, NH pairs historic mill-era homes with newer construction, and both ends of that mix generate real siding work — the old clapboard homes hide a century of moisture history under their skin, and the newer stock is aging into first replacements. A&E Home Improvement travels from Tilton for Dover siding projects where the scope justifies it: insured, owner-operated, stripping to the sheathing every time, documenting the substrate in photos, hanging new house wrap, and installing vinyl or CertainTeed fiber cement with the trim detail an older Dover streetscape deserves.

Siding questions from Dover homeowners

What do you find behind the siding on Dover’s older homes?
History, mostly — several generations of siding sometimes layered together, sheathing that’s solid in most places and soft where water found a path (window corners, trim joints, behind failed flashing), and often no weather barrier at all, because the house predates the idea. None of it is a crisis; all of it is why we strip to the sheathing and inspect rather than cover. You get photos of anything that needs repair and a price before we proceed — the century-old wall ends up better protected than it’s ever been.
Which siding suits a mill-era Dover home — vinyl or fiber cement?
If period character drives the decision, fiber cement (we install CertainTeed) is the stronger answer: crisp clapboard shadow lines, real trim proportions, paintable in historically sensible colors. Quality vinyl in a traditional profile is the practical alternative — no repainting, excellent freeze-thaw behavior, and modern lines do period looks far better than they used to. Either way the trim work is what sells it: original-proportion casings and corner boards, not vinyl-minimum shrink-wrap.
