Cechinel Siding & Windows Inc

Eighty Google ratings average 4.9 stars for Cechinel Siding & Windows, and the names behind the truck are the same ones customers keep thanking: Bruno and Cecilia, running what the company describes as a family business working out of Somerville since 2002, with every job personally overseen by an owner. The work is squarely siding and windows — installs, replacements, the occasional deck or entry door — with roofing also listed among their services, and a stated service area covering Somerville, Revere, Charlestown, and Belmont. They're also a listed member of the Somerville Chamber of Commerce. This year's reviews keep landing on the same note: a siding job finished on schedule in the middle of winter, at the price first quoted, and a January reviewer calling the crew honest and reliable with great workmanship. That's not a new streak — 54 reviews collected since 2021 lean heavily positive across seven different sources, and Houzz lists four Angie's List Super Service Awards from 2017 through 2021 plus a James Hardie Preferred Contractor badge, on top of BBB accreditation and an A+ grade there too. The one blemish sits outside the review platforms: an account on a rival contractor's website describes friction after asking for a revised estimate mid-negotiation. It's a single, unverified report rather than a pattern, but it's worth raising directly when getting a quote — how they handle scope or price changes once numbers are already on the table. Houzz, meanwhile, shows zero reviews on its own platform despite listing the same awards. For a re-siding or window-replacement job in the Somerville area, the history here is deep and consistently favorable, not the thin record of a newer outfit. Get any change in scope or price in writing before signing, and ask what roofing work, specifically, they still take on — nearly every review on file is about siding or windows, not roofs.
