Siding, Roofing & Window Experts in Westwood, MA
Careful exterior work for Westwood homes, from a fourth-generation Pratt family contractor
Son Home Remodeling is a Pratt family business. Ed Pratt is the fourth generation of his family to work the building trades, and Pratt is a name homeowners in this corner of Norfolk County have known for a long time. Today he runs the work under his own shingle. Westwood is the kind of town that work suits. Set off from Dedham in 1897, Westwood held onto its village character while the region grew up around it, and its housing shows every chapter of that: antique and Colonial Revival homes near the town center, closer-set older houses in the village of Islington, postwar colonials and capes filling in the middle, and larger custom homes on wooded lots out toward Hale Reservation and the Dover line. Each of those asks something different from a roof, siding, and windows. We bring careful craftsmanship, premium materials, and a written, itemized estimate to every Westwood project.
Why Westwood Homeowners Choose Son Home Remodeling
A Pratt Family Business
Ed Pratt is the fourth generation of his family in the building trades, and Pratt is a name this corridor has known for generations
Crews Already Working Nearby
Canton and Sharon are part of our regular working area, so a Westwood estimate fits our route instead of being a special trip
Detail Work on Detailed Homes
Westwood colonials carry generous trim, bays, and dormers, and those transitions are exactly where a rushed exterior job shows
Built for Westwood Weather
Freeze-thaw winters, nor'easter wind, and heavy tree cover drive how we spec ventilation, ice barriers, and flashing here
Serving All Westwood Neighborhoods
Westwood Center & the Route 109 Corridor
Older homes near the town center carry real architectural detail, and the work has to improve performance without flattening the look of the house.
Common Projects: Architectural shingle roofing, trim and clapboard repair, historic-look replacement windows
Islington
Westwood's eastern village near the Dedham and Norwood lines has older, closer-set homes and its own commuter rail stop, so tight-access siding and roofing work is the norm here.
Common Projects: Roof replacement on tight lots, vinyl siding with custom trim wrapping, entry and storm doors
The Route 128 & University Station Area
Homes near the highway corridor take more wind exposure than the rest of town, which changes how shingles and siding panels need to be fastened.
Common Projects: Wind-rated shingle systems, insulated siding, impact-resistant window packages
Hale Reservation & the Dover Line
Larger homes on heavily wooded lots at the western edge of town sit in shade most of the day, so debris, moss, and trapped moisture are the recurring roof problems.
Common Projects: Algae-resistant shingles, roof ventilation upgrades, gutter protection, moisture-resistant siding

Roofing Services in Westwood
Westwood roofs work harder than they look. The town's mature tree canopy, especially out toward Hale Reservation and the Dover line, keeps shingles shaded and damp, which is why so many Westwood roofs streak with algae and grow moss years before they are actually worn out. Our Westwood roofing services cover complete tear-off and replacement, repairs, emergency tarping, and preventive maintenance, on every residential roof type: main houses, garages, additions, porches, and low-slope sections. We install asphalt and architectural shingles, metal roofing, and rubber flat-roof systems, and every Westwood roof gets ice-and-water barrier at the eaves and a balanced ventilation plan built for Norfolk County's freeze-thaw winters. Massachusetts requires a building permit for roof replacement, and we file it with the town and handle the inspections so you never touch the paperwork.
Siding Services in Westwood
Siding is where a Westwood home either looks finished or looks done cheaply, and the difference is almost always in the trim. Many Westwood colonials carry generous corner boards, window casings, bays, dormers, and overhangs, and those transitions are exactly where a rushed crew leaves gaps and lumpy wrapping. We install premium CertainTeed vinyl siding, including Cedar Impressions and insulated options that add real R-value without adding maintenance, over full house wrap with proper flashing at every window, door, and roof-to-wall junction. Custom aluminum trim wrapping is part of the job here, not an upsell. We also handle siding repair for Westwood homes, from storm-damaged panels to worn sections that need matching and resealing.
Window Services in Westwood
Westwood's older homes were built with windows meant to be maintained, not replaced, and after a century of paint, storms, and settling most of them leak air badly. Our Westwood window replacement services cut heating and cooling costs with double-hung, casement, sliding, and bay or bow windows from trusted brands like Andersen, Pella, and Harvey. For homes near the town center and in Islington we size and style replacements to the original openings, so the house keeps its proportions while gaining modern insulated glass. Every Westwood window installation includes proper insulation in the rough opening, weatherstripping, and exterior caulking built for cold winters and humid summers. It is one of the highest-return upgrades a Westwood home can get.
Doors Services in Westwood
A front door is the first thing anyone notices about your Westwood home and one of the last things most owners get around to replacing. Our Westwood door installation services cover entry doors, storm doors, and sliding patio doors, plus repairs for units that stick, sag, or let daylight through the weatherstripping. We install steel, fiberglass, and wood doors that suit everything from a center-of-town colonial to a contemporary home near the Dover line, each set with proper insulation, a full weather seal, and secure hardware. It is a one-day project that visibly changes the front of the house and quietly cuts your drafts.
Westwood-Specific Home Challenges We Solve
Shaded Roofs That Never Fully Dry
Westwood's mature tree canopy keeps roofs damp and grows moss and algae streaks, so we install algae-resistant shingles and correct the attic ventilation instead of just washing the symptom off
Ice Dams on Older Colonials
We install ice-and-water barrier at the eaves and balance intake and exhaust ventilation, which is what actually stops the melt-and-refreeze cycle behind ice dams
Failing Roof-to-Wall Details on Additions and Dormers
Decades of Westwood additions, dormers, and bumpouts leak at the flashing long before the shingles wear out, so we rebuild step and counter flashing rather than patch over it
Siding That Telegraphs a Rushed Job
On homes with heavy trim, bays, and overhangs we do custom aluminum trim wrapping and proper flashing at every transition, because that detail work is the difference between new siding and cheap-looking siding

Westwood Homeowner Questions, Answered
Are you connected to the Pratt & Son name?
By family, yes. Eddie Pratt is the fourth generation of his family to work the building trades, and Pratt & Son, Inc. was the family firm. It is no longer in business. Son Home Remodeling is Eddie's own company, started fresh under his own name and license, so what carries over is the family and the standard of work, not a corporate history. If you knew the Pratt name in Westwood, that is the connection.
Do I need a building permit to replace a roof in Westwood, MA?
Yes. Massachusetts requires a building permit for any roof replacement, and Westwood issues them through the town's building department. Small repairs under roughly 100 square feet are usually exempt. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as part of every Westwood roofing project, so you never touch the paperwork.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Westwood?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Massachusetts run $9,000 to $25,000, with typical jobs landing between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and how many old layers come off. Westwood's larger colonials and the custom homes near Hale Reservation, which often have multiple rooflines, dormers, and steeper pitches, sit toward the upper end. Every Westwood estimate is written, itemized, and free.
My Westwood roof is streaked and mossy. Does it need replacing?
Not necessarily. Black streaking is usually algae, and moss grows on roofs that stay shaded and damp, which describes a lot of Westwood under its tree canopy. Sometimes the fix is cleaning, trimming back overhang, and correcting attic ventilation. Sometimes the moss has already held water against worn shingles long enough to cost you the roof. We will tell you which one you have, and we will say so if you have years left.
Do you actually work in Westwood, or just list it?
We work Canton and Sharon regularly, and Westwood sits just north of that area, so a Westwood estimate fits our existing route rather than being a long special trip. We are licensed and insured in Massachusetts (HIC #214625), CertainTeed certified, and we give you the same written, itemized estimate in Westwood that we give a neighbor in Randolph.
