Expert General Contractor in Hubbardston, Massachusetts

Plan on a few weeks, planned around the weather window. 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.

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 Hubbardston 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: two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks; water damage that spans siding, trim and window openings and cannot sensibly be split up; 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 work out of Charlton, 25 miles away — roughly half an hour. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.

You see it before we cover it. The rate for hidden damage is written into the contract up front, precisely so nobody is negotiating while the house is open.

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.
