Expert General Contractor in Edgartown, Massachusetts

Our Edgartown projects generally land at $18,000–$60,000 for a combined exterior package. The spread comes down to size, material and what we find once the old work comes off — which is why our written quote includes an agreed rate for hidden damage rather than a guess. Estimates are free and we do not price on the doorstep.

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.

We handle it. Filing with Edgartown, 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.

Sometimes. On a martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages we can often match a single elevation closely enough that it reads as original. Where the existing material has faded past matching, we will say so rather than sell you a repair you will be unhappy with.

The three we see most often here: a rebuild that stalls because nobody sequenced the permit against the material lead time; earlier partial repairs that now have to be tied back into a whole elevation; and a schedule where the siding crew arrives before the windows do. Locally, extreme salt spray corrosion comes up repeatedly on martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages.

Plan on a few weeks, planned around the weather window. Dukes County weather does move schedules — the freeze-thaw cycle running on top of constant salt exposure, which is harder on trim than on the field of a wall is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
