Expert General Contractor in Boylston, Massachusetts

We do. We file with the Boylston building department, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector on site. As a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #204634) that is our responsibility, not yours.

We work mainly in full-exterior envelope work, porch and entry rebuilds, siding, window and door packages, and we are certified installers for James Hardie, Andersen, Therma-Tru. Which of those makes sense for your Boylston home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

Plan on three weeks on average when several trades are sequenced together. Worcester County weather does move schedules — the full New England temperature range, from below zero in January to the low nineties in July 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.

The three we see most often here: work that was quoted by three separate trades who each assumed someone else was handling the flashing; two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks; and a schedule where the siding crew arrives before the windows do. Locally, worn aluminum siding from the 1970s comes up repeatedly on triple-decker homes.

We do not. Every crew is on our payroll, which is why the standard does not drop between the first elevation and the last, and why you are not meeting new faces halfway through.
