Expert General Contractor in Lowell, Massachusetts

We work out of Charlton, 28 miles away — under an hour. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.

Sometimes. On a colonial revivals 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.

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

We do. We file with the Lowell 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.

The three we see most often here: earlier partial repairs that now have to be tied back into a whole elevation; work that was quoted by three separate trades who each assumed someone else was handling the flashing; and a schedule where the siding crew arrives before the windows do. Locally, aging clapboard siding comes up repeatedly on colonial revivals.
