James Hardie in New England
Coastal Windows & Exteriors was founded right here. Our Beverly, MA headquarters sits inside Essex County. This isn’t just a service area — it’s home. We know the North Shore’s neighborhoods, its architecture, and the way a salt-driven nor’easter goes to work on a house.
Essex County runs from Marblehead and Beverly up the coast through Newburyport, and inland through Andover, Boxford, and Lynnfield. The homes here span the full range: historic colonials, shingled capes, waterfront properties in Marblehead, and new construction throughout the inland towns. What they share is one of the most demanding exterior climates in Massachusetts. Ocean air, hard winters, and seasonal humidity find their way into every failing seal.
North Shore homeowners know quality when they see it. Coastal Windows & Exteriors earned its reputation here one project at a time.
Count on Coastal Windows & Exteriors for complete peace of mind with your exterior upgrade. If you are not completely satisfied with our work, reach out so we can make it right. We keep our promise of your complete satisfaction!

Our team has completed 7,000+ installations since 2011 and installs color-rich vinyl siding across the region.
Vinyl is engineered to hold its color without ever being painted. Rather than painting faded panels, replacement is usually the better long-term fix. Modern vinyl offers a full palette of durable, built-in color options.

Cement board is a general term, while Hardie board is a specific brand of fiber cement siding. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a James Hardie Alliance Elite contractor serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Our team has completed 7,000+ installations since 2011 and installs Hardie board across the region.

The key difference is a foam backing that improves energy efficiency and wall rigidity. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned exterior remodeling company serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.

Top Recommendation: Insulated foam siding for New England homeowners prioritizing energy efficiency and long-term comfort — the most energy efficient siding option available.
Best for Budget: Standard Exterior Portfolio vinyl siding at $18,000 average installed, with a 97% ROI and zero painting costs.

You don’t always need to replace trim with new siding, but doing both together is often smartest. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned exterior remodeling company serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Our team has completed 7,000+ installations since 2011 and installs siding and trim across the region.
Rotted, painted-wood, or mismatched trim is worth replacing alongside new siding. A matched trim-and-siding system looks cleaner and protects your home better. Replacing both ensures the exterior performs as one complete system.
Top Recommendation: Replace wood trim during any new siding installation. It eliminates future painting costs and completes a fully matched exterior system.
Best for Vinyl Siding: Exterior Portfolio® Vinyl Trim in a matching or contrasting Chromatix® colors. Pearl, Bone, and Aspen White are popular trim choices across Essex County.
Best for Fiber Cement: HardieTrim® boards paired with your James Hardie siding profile for a complete, warranted exterior system built for New England weather.
Installing new siding is a big investment — the trim shouldn’t be an afterthought. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is the #1 woman-owned exterior remodeling contractor in New England (Qualified Remodeler, HIP 200 List) with 7,000+ installations across MA, NH, and ME.

Triple-pane, ENERGY STAR certified windows are the most effective option for keeping heat in and cold out. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned exterior remodeling company serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Our team has completed 7,000+ installations since 2011 and installs energy-efficient windows across the region.
Triple-pane glass has lower U-values and insulates better than double-pane. Sealing air infiltration around the frame matters as much as the glass itself. The right window cuts drafts and keeps your home comfortable year-round.
Top Recommendation: Triple pane ENERGY STAR certified windows for any New England home with drafty windows in winter — the tightest, most efficient option available.
Best for Energy Savings: Triple pane windows at 0.1 CFM draft rating, saving $500+ annually versus single pane — the fastest payback on your window investment.
Best for Noise and Comfort: Triple pane windows also reduce outside noise by 40–50%, making them ideal for local window replacement projects near busy streets or the coast.
