Lower Energy Bills, Higher Home Value, Year-Round Protection

Did you know that 30% of your home’s energy is lost through windows, 30% through the walls, and 25% through your roof?

Consequently, New England households spend roughly $600 a month on energy, and with 89% of U.S. homes under-insulated, much of that escapes through aging windows, siding, doors, and roofing. Sealing your home’s envelope can cut air leakage by 25–30% — and replacing these products with Coastal Windows & Exteriors turns lost energy into real savings and resale value:

Stops energy loss — insulated siding improves air tightness by about 25%, and ENERGY STAR® certified windows and doors cut heating and cooling costs by up to 13%
Cuts energy bills by $500+ per year by upgrading from single-pane to triple-pane windows
Returns up to 144% of project cost at resale on James Hardie fiber cement siding — plus 97% on vinyl siding, 76% on windows, 68% on asphalt roofing, and up to 216% on steel entry doors, the highest ROI of any home improvement
Boosts curb appeal while choosing from a wide variety of colors and styles — for example, roughly 65% of homeowners prefer neutral siding colors like white, gray, and soft earth tones, from James Hardie® fiber cement in Arctic White and Iron Gray to Exterior Portfolio® vinyl in Stone Harbor and Smoky Ash

Coastal Windows & Exteriors installs New England’s most popular colors and styles, including wood look vinyl and black frame windows. Bring your dream home to life with materials built to last — and with 50% off installation plus financing up to 20 years, there’s no reason to wait for the next energy bill to decide.

Project Spotlight: Roofing

I was introduced to Coastal Windows and Exteriors during the Beverly Homecoming Lobster Fest, and from that moment, I knew I wanted to support this women-owned company that values military and first responders. We'd been delaying a much-needed roof replacement since purchasing our home in 2019, and despite getting quotes from other roofers, we hadn't taken the plunge.

When we finally decided to move forward, Coastal Windows and Exteriors stood out. Meeting with their sales team, Erik and Patrick, was a fantastic experience. They not only explained our roofing needs clearly but also offered the best price we'd seen. While there was a minor hiccup in communication, it might have been a misunderstanding on my part.

Once the team started the work, they were efficient and considerate, ensuring our safety, especially because we have two young children. The follow-up and support, particularly from Stephanie and Dean, were exceptional.

Coastal Windows and Exteriors truly made this experience easy and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of roofing services. Thank you to the whole team for a job well done! Our roof has changed the whole look of our house in the best way too!

Can you paint vinyl siding?

Yes, vinyl siding can be painted, but quality vinyl siding is engineered to never need it.

Painting adds ongoing cost and upkeep that quality vinyl avoids entirely. Repainting a home’s exterior runs up to $12,000, a recurring expense homeowners can skip with modern vinyl. The right product protects your investment for years without a brush in sight.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

Paint or Replace: You can paint vinyl siding, but new good quality vinyl siding never needs it. That saves you thousands over time. Contact us for a free vinyl siding estimate this summer.
Clean Instead: Vinyl stays fresh with mild soap and water from a garden hose. No brushes, primers, or rollers are needed.
Color Stays Put: A co-extruded two-layer PVC system is engineered to hold color without painting, year after year.
Painting Risks: Adding paint can void product warranties. It may also trap moisture beneath the surface if applied incorrectly.
Truly Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, vinyl requires no periodic painting or caulking to keep its look. Cleaning happens once or twice a year.

Choosing the Right Vinyl That Never Needs Painting

Top Recommendation: New vinyl siding for homeowners who want lasting color without repainting costs. Schedule your free design consultation today.

Best for Budget: Cleaning existing vinyl with soap and water to refresh its appearance affordably.

Project Spotlight: Windows

We recently worked with Coastal Windows & Exteriors to replace our siding, window trim, fascia and soffits: pretty much the whole exterior. We met with Theo and Will to discuss the project. They were great to work with - professional, informative and patient - as we talked through our options. We ended up choosing Coastal after meeting with them and seeing the company reviews. Coastal seemed like a great company and they delivered!! The project managers and work team were awesome, communicative and easy to work with from start to finish. We used to walk around the house wondering what might be rotten next. Now, we have a beautiful new exterior and peace of mind to go with it. They did an excellent job on the installation with great attention to detail; the house looks really good. Great working with you, Coastal, and many thanks for the job well done!
