Brookline sits in Norfolk County, roughly 27 miles east of our Northborough shop, and about 8 miles inland from the coast. That puts a cedar shingles job here inside our normal working radius, so the crew arrives with the right materials on the first morning instead of making a supply run mid-job. We also work regularly in Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, so the drive is routine rather than an excursion.
Onshore wind carries salt further than most homeowners expect, and it lands on walls that still see a full freeze-thaw winter. We detail for both: fixings that will not corrode, and laps that stay closed when the wall cycles above and below freezing. Brookline sits 8 miles in from the water — far enough that homeowners here rarely expect salt damage, close enough that we still detail for it. That is exactly why we help Brookline, MA homeowners choose cedar shingle siding that stands up to it.
The housing stock across Norfolk County runs to traditional colonials on generous lots alongside mid-century single-families, most of them now on their second or third exterior. Between Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline itself we see that whole range in a single working week, which is why a cedar shingles quote here starts with a survey of the wall rather than a price per square.
Brookline borders Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown and Newton, and we run cedar shingles jobs across all of them from the same shop — so scheduling a Brookline project rarely waits on crew availability.
With an expected lifespan of 20–40 years, cedar shingles is a long-term investment for Brookline homeowners — ideal for Cape Cod, Colonial, and Craftsman-style homes seeking natural beauty. Owner Ezequias Lobo personally oversees every job since 2007. Explore our cedar shingles across Massachusetts, or pair it with vinyl siding and clapboard siding.
