Cechinel Siding & Windows Inc

Its Google page holds a 4.9-star average across 80 ratings, and forty-six of them describe this Somerville siding-and-windows crew by name — Bruno and Cecilia come up almost as often as the jobs themselves. The company works in vinyl, Hardie fiber cement, and Cedar Impressions siding, window replacement and aluminum wrapping, gutters, and porch and soffit repair, and the Better Business Bureau lists it as accredited with an A+ grade. The specifics run deep, and they stay specific. In a 2023 review, a customer described the crew racing out after high winds tore siding loose on a multi-level building set into a hillside — securing the dangerous debris right away, then finishing the repair within days. A 2023 review names two crew members, Everthon and Filipe, on a full removal-and-reinstall in Medford — vinyl siding, twelve new windows, and a front door, done on schedule. Another, also from 2023, describes Bruno coming out the day after a call to measure a bay-window job other companies had turned down as too small, then finishing the roof and window install within the same week despite 90-degree heat. Several customers came back for more — one had the same crew handle a prior roof and siding job before returning for windows, another was already planning a repeat call mid-project. The last six months brought one review, and it kept the pattern: a challenging December siding job finished on schedule despite the weather. Two things are worth asking about before signing. A 2025 review described being ghosted midway through finalizing a contract, after an initially positive estimate process. And a 2024 review flagged that the company only takes projects located in Somerville proper — a limit its marketing doesn't spell out, worth confirming before requesting a quote from outside the city. For a Somerville-area siding or window job, the volume and specificity of the praise here is unusual — just pin down the contract and timeline before counting on a start date.
