Last month, O’Sullivan Installs did the siding and large window replacement on my 1926 Gabrielle Colonial Home, and let me just say WOW! My home came out beautiful! To say that prior to the new siding my house was the “eye soar” of my neighborhood would not be an exaggeration. Not anymore, in fact, I have received many, many complements from neighbors and friends. Complements not only for the siding, but for the professionalism, cleanliness, and dependability of the installers. These guys worked HARD!! Seriously, they worked from dawn to dusk, and the quality and craftsmanship of the install is amazing. They definitely take PRIDE in their work! From the sales team to the installers, I was so pleased with the thoroughness, suggestions, and honesty of them all. They are straight to the point and what they say is exactly what you can expect. I obtained 3 quotes from installers. O’Sullivan was in the middle for cost. The reason I chose them is they came across as having a lot of experience, knew about potential problems that may occur giving the age of the home, and was prepared for any issues that could arise. No B.S.! The quote was on-point, and I did not incur any surprise expenses in the end. It took a while to get the product, which is life these days, but that was fully explained to me in the beginning. So again, no painful surprises! Any questions I had, whether through email, text, or calling the office, was always promptly responded to. I also need to mention, that I found out through my neighbors that on my street they watched as an elderly women’s car had a flat tire, and without hesitation the installers stopped what they were doing, fixed her tire, and had her on her way!! When does that happen anymore??!! Bravo gentlemen, BRAVO!!! Tim, buy these guys a burger and beer!! So, I say, Hire O’Sullivan Installs…. you will be glad you did!

O'Sullivan Installs put in windows and two exterior doors for me in 2011. The work was excellent and timely. However, that wasn't the end of the story. In 2021, my front door sill seal became frayed and required replacement. I was also looking to have a third door replaced. Even though I am now out of their service area, Tim arranged for the seal to be replaced at no cost to me, and connected me with an installer in my area, even providing the previous order information to make it easy to match my existing door. This should give you a sense of the level of professionalism he maintains. A company of rare quality.

I hired these guys for all new vinyl siding, two new bay windows, and a new front door. Not the cheapest, but definitely NOT the most expensive, especially when comparing to PHRG, Dabella, etc. They are the real deal and you get what pay for, which is a high quality job using high quality materials and high attention to detail. The owner Tim O’Sullivan was a pleasure to work with, as was his entire team. His crew is a well oiled machine. Always arrived early AM and was here until the end of the day unto the project got done, which took about a week. Cleaned up well after every day. They do the job right. They wrapped existing window trim in pvc aluminum vinyl. Was skeptical how that would look but very professionally done with mitered corners. Looks like new windows! I was worried about rotted plywood and sills being covered over (as PHRG apparently did on a past job) but they pointed out all areas of rot to me, talked to me about it, and replaced everything that needed to be replaced before wrapping with the aluminum and installation of the siding. They also treated all surfaces with insecticide and fungicide. They ALSO corrected some bad work done by previous contractors with minimal added cost. Attention to detail was amazing. You can tell the crew loves what they do because they do it well. They were always in a good mood, singing and laughing. They specialize in siding, windows, doors, and that is pretty much all they do so they are the best at it. And I have peace of mind knowing that if there are any issues, I just need to call them and they will take care of it. I have a 1972 house with original exterior siding, old front door, originalcrappy bow windows. Now it looks like brand new construction!

O'Sullivan Installs did an awesome job. They did our windows & siding and were excellent in the whole process. They also cleaned everything on each day before they left . The windows look spectacular. I can’t praise the work enough. My house looks absolutely new again by just doing the siding and windows.That's how good they work. Thank you everyone involved with this project.

Questions & Answers

I am in Middlesex County. Based on the weather conditions here, would you recommend going for vinyl siding or wood like cedar?

Malcolm Stein | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

We recommend using vinyl siding for your house as it is durable, low in cost and easy to maintain. In fact, it requires almost zero maintenance, just scrubbing or washing with soapy water will work. It doesn’t get damaged by water or pests. Its flexibility makes it withstand wind and storms. While, wood siding is timeless, strong and attractive, it requires maintenance periodically. And it is likely to get damaged by pests and heavy rainfall.

Can a particular type of siding help prevent a home from burning during a wildfire?

Abdou Hammoud | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Yes, definitely. Common sense dictates that you should avoid opting for wood sidings if you live somewhere where you expect wildfires. Instead, opt for a non-combustible material such as stucco or fiber cement. Doing this in addition to other preventive measures can help keep your house safe to quite an extent during a wildfire.

We currently have wooden siding and are considering upgrading it fully to stucco. Will the incurred costs for this project be worth it in terms of value addition for appraisal?

Gustavo Vasquez | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Upgrading the sidings in your home to a more durable material like stucco can surely add value to your home. Moreover, doing so can also help you cut down on your fire insurance premium. You can also consider simply adding stucco siding on top of your existing wood sidings to bring down the cost and time it would take.

Should we paint or replace the T1-11 siding on the exterior of our house?

Peter Klomars | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

It all comes down to what you can afford; a re-paint or a replace, but we recommend that you replace your T1-11 at once. The life span of T1-11 is short despite its low cost in the market. If you wish to repaint your siding, you are more than welcome to do so, but painting T1-11 takes a lot more effort than just simply putting on a paint.

I am thinking about getting wood siding for my home in Billerica but am worried about the maintenance it would require? Is wooden siding high maintenance?

Peter Klomars | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Maintenance-free siding does not exist. Even vinyl siding requires regular cleaning and repair to keep it in proper condition. However, wood siding does require considerably more maintenance as opposed to other siding materials. Depending upon the weather conditions, it is possible that you will need to paint and stain the siding regularly.

How much maintenance goes into wood siding?

Cara Lucinda | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Kellie Castro | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Whether it is feasible or not, it really depends on the homeowner. Before you consider getting fiber cement siding, remember that fiber cement siding requires maintenance such as regular painting and caulking.

Jenn Tiya | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Rich Daniel | Sep 3, 2019
Tim O'Sullivan | Sep 3, 2019

Green stain on your siding is usually due to mildew, mold, moss or algae. When house siding turns green, the exterior appearance of the house begins to diminish. These organisms grow in shady and moist areas, so make sure you inspect your siding regularly. Ensuring that your vinyl is not exposed to ongoing moisture will prevent mildew or moss from growing on your siding.

Is vinyl siding superior to wood siding?

alliyah smith | Sep 3, 2019
Tim O'Sullivan | Sep 3, 2019

Vinyl is the choice of every homeowner now a days. Although many other siding options are available, vinyl remains undisputedly the most popular in the market. It is superior to wood because it does not decay, it resists fading and it is cheap. It also provides appealing finish to your exterior in low price.

Gregory Warth | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

Vinyl is usually the first choice of homeowners as it is cheapest and requires almost no maintenance. Unfortunately, vinyl siding cannot withstand extreme temperature. Brick is timeless choice, it is long lasting and looks fantastic. The maintenance requirements are low as well. Stucco on the other hand gives unique look to your house. it keeps your house cool during summers and warm in winters.

What do I need to do to prepare the boards for proper house wrap installation and siding?

Heather Stone | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

House wraps are not easy to install, but to make your house energy efficient you must not skip it. Before you install house wrap, prime your wood siding first. Water is likely to condense on house wrap and it will penetrate wood siding and lift off the finish. It's crucial to prime the back side of boards before installing house wrap. Trim boards if needed to get perfect house wrap installed.

Michael Brewer | Sep 3, 2019
O'Sullivan Installs | Sep 3, 2019

The dust and fibers from asbestos is often linked with lung cancer if inhaled. However, if they are kept wet, then this danger is effectively countered.

This is why it is better to get help from a professional siding contractor.

Diane Holmes | Sep 3, 2019

Fiber siding’s durability is questionable because it absorbs moisture and its rigid structure is more likely to crack.
