Expert General Contractor in Roslindale, Massachusetts

We work out of Charlton, 21 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.

The three we see most often here: water damage that spans siding, trim and window openings and cannot sensibly be split up; earlier partial repairs that now have to be tied back into a whole elevation; and a rebuild that stalls because nobody sequenced the permit against the material lead time. Locally, crumbling brick pointing needing exterior updates comes up repeatedly on brownstone row houses.

Sometimes. On a brownstone row houses 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.

Plan on three to four weeks end to end, including inspection slots. Suffolk County weather does move schedules — street-facing walls that take exhaust and grit as well as weather is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

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 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.
