Expert General Contractor in Charlestown, Massachusetts

The three we see most often here: work that was quoted by three separate trades who each assumed someone else was handling the flashing; exterior scope that grows once the walls are open, with no agreed rate for the extra; and earlier partial repairs that now have to be tied back into a whole elevation. Locally, crumbling brick pointing needing exterior updates comes up repeatedly on brownstone row houses.

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

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.

Beds and walkways are covered before anything comes off the wall, there is a container on site from day one, and we magnet-sweep every evening. It matters more than people expect on a tight Charlestown lot.

Plan on a few weeks, planned around the weather window. Suffolk County weather does move schedules — older masonry and wood assemblies sitting side by side on the same block is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

All of it, including Charlestown Center, South Charlestown, North Charlestown and the rest of ZIP 02129. We also work throughout Suffolk County.
