Rebates and financing for new siding in Fall River

Mass Save doesn't pay for the siding itself: its insulation and windows offers cover insulation, air sealing and windows, and siding is not on the HEAT Loan's list of eligible measures.

The insulation can be covered: after a Home Energy Assessment, Mass Save pays 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing in Fall River. Book the assessment before the old siding comes off, while the walls are open.

Do you need a permit for new siding in Fall River?

Plan on one. Residing is not on the Massachusetts building code's list of permit-exempt work, and the Fall River Building Department settles the borderline cases. 79% of Fall River's homes were built before 1980 (Census ACS 2018-2022), and work that disturbs paint in a home built before 1978 has to follow the lead-safe renovation rules.
