Expert General Contractor in Montague, Massachusetts

All of it, including South Montague, West Montague, Montague Center and the rest of ZIP 01351. We also work throughout Franklin County.

We work mainly in full-exterior envelope work, 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 Montague 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: exterior scope that grows once the walls are open, with no agreed rate for the extra; two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks; and water damage that spans siding, trim and window openings and cannot sensibly be split up. Locally, extreme cold exposure comes up repeatedly on rural farmhouses.

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.

Plan on two to four weeks for a combined siding, window and door package. Franklin County weather does move schedules — Connecticut River Valley humidity that keeps sheathing damp long after the rain stops is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

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.
