Which Towns on the Coast and Around Portland Do We Serve?
- Portland, MEPeninsula triple-deckers and Victorians sit almost on the lot line, so staging takes planning, and in historic districts such as the West End any street-visible exterior change needs city approval first.
- South Portland, MERanches and capes built fast for World War II shipyard workers fill much of the city, beside older Knightville and Willard Beach cottages where the salt exposure runs strongest.
- Cape Elizabeth, MEMid-century and newer houses on big lots fill this coastal town, and on the ocean side salt, wind and storms are severe enough that siding gets chosen for them first.
- Scarborough, MEPost-1990 subdivisions cover most of Scarborough, while cottages at Pine Point, Higgins Beach and Prouts Neck sit beside Maine's largest salt marsh with salt air on every beach-side wall.
- Falmouth, MEForeside houses look out over Casco Bay, where owners expect finish work to suit the setting, and the substantial mid-century and newer homes inland keep renovation steady.
- Yarmouth, MESea captains' houses line Main Street, and in the town's five local historic districts a street-visible siding change gets an advisory review from the preservation committee unless it matches in kind.
- Freeport, MEIn both design review districts, siding replaced with wood, fiber cement or engineered wood at the same style, reveal and profile needs no design review certificate, and vinyl is not on that list.
- Brunswick, MEWood clapboards are the original skin across the Village Review Overlay, where exterior alterations need a Certificate of Appropriateness and the town's guidelines rank vinyl as not preferred, though it may be accepted.
Which Lake and Inland Towns Do We Serve?
- Westbrook, MEOur office sits in this mill city, where 30 percent of the housing predates 1939 by the 2012 plan's count, and Village Review projects downtown may not use vinyl or aluminum siding.
- Gorham, MESome 20 houses dating from about 1790 to 1840 line South Street in the village, a National Register district, while most of Gorham is postwar and newer housing on former farmland.
- Windham, MEFormer Sebago and Little Sebago camps, many now year-round homes on old gravel roads, share the town with North Windham's newer subdivisions, and frost, not salt, wears the siding here.
- Standish, MESebago lake houses, farmland and two villages, Steep Falls and Standish Corner, make up the town, and its Route 25 National Register district holds five early farmhouses led by the 1789 Marrett House.
- Gray, METwo thirds of Gray's houses went up after 1970, and its Village Center design standards start from clapboard or cedar shake, pass a lookalike synthetic of equal durability and rule out T-111.
- Cumberland, MEForeside shore homes, closer lots in Cumberland Center and open West Cumberland parcels share one code office rule: any exterior alteration of a structure needs a building permit.
Which York County Towns Do We Serve?
- Old Orchard Beach, MESmall cottages crowd tight lots near the beach, and on the Portland Avenue historic overlay, siding replacement needs a Certificate of Appropriateness even where no building permit is required.
- Saco, MEBig 19th-century houses fill the 225-property downtown historic district, where vinyl may not go on a building not already vinyl-sided, and the city plan calls lead paint and asbestos common there.
- Biddeford, METriple-deckers and mill worker housing give the city an old stock, about 43 percent from 1939 or earlier against roughly a quarter statewide, and downtown review keeps original wood siding wood.
- Sanford, MEHouses put up for Goodall mill workers still stand on the east side, and in the Springvale design overlay vinyl can pass if it replicates traditional siding, while metal siding cannot.
- Kennebunk, METhe Summer Street overlay, dating to 1963 and named by the town as Maine's oldest historic district, requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before any building permit, and its guidelines bar artificial siding on historic structures.
- Wells, MEBeach cottages crowd small lots at Moody Beach, Drakes Island and Wells Beach, and the May 2024 draft plan expects flood hazards to grow with sea level rise, heavier rain and storm surge.
- York, MEMany shingle-style summer houses in York Harbor and colonial houses in York Village sit in local historic districts whose guidelines rule out vinyl, aluminum and asphalt siding.
- Kittery, MEForeside houses stand close together and most predate 1940, Kittery Point's older homes overlook the water in heavy salt, and the 2017 town plan says Kittery has no historical commission.
