Aquinnah, MA • General Contractor • 5-Star Rated
Expert General Contractor in Aquinnah, Massachusetts
Most exterior work work we do in Aquinnah starts the same way: a homeowner has noticed something they cannot quite diagnose. The stock dates from whaling era to present resort, so 40-200+-year-old assemblies are the norm rather than the exception. Add the freeze-thaw cycle running on top of constant salt exposure, which is harder on trim than on the field of a wall, and the details that matter become obvious.

The reason we push people toward a local contractor for exterior contracting is not loyalty to the idea — it is that the failures we get called out to fix are almost always detail failures, and details are what a crew working forty miles from home stops caring about at four in the afternoon. Here, the two things we expect to deal with are extreme salt spray corrosion and limited material delivery logistics. One crew, start to finish, and one person you call. It is a small company and that is deliberate.
Comprehensive General Contractor Services in Aquinnah, MA
What we actually do differently on exterior contracting comes down to a handful of things: one contract and one crew across the whole exterior, so no detail falls between trades; a single point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final inspection; an agreed rate for hidden damage written into the contract before we start. Materials are rated for the New England climate zone, and we account for wind-driven rain off the water, which finds any seam that was cut short. It is all standard practice. The difference is that it gets done on every elevation, including the one facing the neighbour's fence that nobody inspects.

General Contractor FAQs — Aquinnah, MA
Common questions from Aquinnah homeowners about general contractor
What warranty comes with the work?
You get a 5-year workmanship warranty on all of it, with manufacturer coverage on top. Both are in writing at handover. The workmanship warranty is ours, not a third party's, and it is the one that actually gets used.
Do you pull the permits, or do I?
We handle it. Filing with Aquinnah, booking the inspection slots and being there when the inspector arrives are all ours under HIC #204634. You should not be chasing paperwork for work you are paying for.
Which exterior work do you install?
We work mainly in siding, window and door packages, trim, soffit and fascia systems, porch and entry rebuilds, and we are certified installers for James Hardie, Andersen, Therma-Tru. Which of those makes sense for your Aquinnah home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.
What happens if you find rot once you have started?
We stop, photograph it and show you before covering anything back up. The repair rate is agreed in the contract before we start, so there is no renegotiation with your wall open.
What usually goes wrong with exterior work on homes in Aquinnah?
The three we see most often here: two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks; a schedule where the siding crew arrives before the windows do; and a rebuild that stalls because nobody sequenced the permit against the material lead time. Locally, extreme salt spray corrosion comes up repeatedly on martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages.
How long will exterior contracting take on my Aquinnah home?
Plan on three to four weeks end to end, including inspection slots. Dukes County weather does move schedules — wind-driven rain off the water, which finds any seam that was cut short is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
