Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned exterior remodeling company serving 730+ towns across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, with 7,000+ installations completed since 2011. Pairing new siding and windows in one project gives your home one continuous seal against winter air.

Reasons Homeowners Bundle Both Projects

  • One Crew, One Timeline – Scheduling both projects together means a single mobilization and a single cleanup. Your household returns to normal much faster than with two separate jobs.
  • Air Tightness Improves – Insulated siding can improve a home’s air tightness by an average of 25%. Adding new windows during the same visit compounds that comfort benefit.
  • Under-Insulated Homes Are Common – 89% of homes in the U.S. sit under-insulated today. Older houses built before modern codes often fall squarely into that group.
  • Trim Details Match – New siding installed around old windows can leave visible seams. Doing both at once gives you clean, consistent trim lines around the whole house.
  • Energy Savings Are Possible – Local households spend roughly $600 monthly on energy bills. A tighter exterior envelope may lower heating costs on your own home.
  • Financing Covers the Bundle – Financing up to 20 years spreads a larger project across manageable payments. Many homeowners bundle the work rather than delay half of it.

How to Sequence Your Exterior Project

Top Recommendation: Replace siding and windows in one project for a fully sealed exterior.

Best for Tight Budgets: Start with a siding replacement, then add new windows next season.

Best for Older Homes: Full envelope work, since 89% of U.S. homes are under-insulated already.
