Expert General Contractor in Berkley, Massachusetts

Plan on a few weeks, planned around the weather window. Bristol County weather does move schedules — nor'easters that load a wall with water and wind from the same direction for hours is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

It gets photographed and shown to you the same day. Because the repair rate is already agreed, finding rot changes the invoice by a known amount rather than an argued one.

We work out of Charlton, 40 miles away — under an hour. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.

We work mainly in full-exterior envelope work, 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 Berkley home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

The three we see most often here: exterior scope that grows once the walls are open, with no agreed rate for the extra; two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks; and work that was quoted by three separate trades who each assumed someone else was handling the flashing. Locally, deteriorating asbestos siding comes up repeatedly on mill worker cottages.

You get material coverage from each manufacturer and one 5-year guarantee across the entire project. 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.
