Expert General Contractor in Erving, Massachusetts

You get manufacturer warranties on every material plus a single 5-year workmanship warranty covering the whole package. 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.

We work out of Charlton, 55 miles away — a planned trip. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.

Our Erving 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.

Sometimes. On a rural farmhouses 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.

We work mainly in trim, soffit and fascia systems, 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 Erving home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

Plan on two to five weeks depending on how much of the exterior is in scope. Franklin County weather does move schedules — a wider annual temperature swing than the coast sees, which works fasteners loose over time is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
