Somerville, MA • General Contractor • 5-Star Rated
Expert General Contractor in Somerville, Massachusetts
We have worked on enough Somerville exteriors to know what tends to be waiting behind the old material. Housing here runs to colonial revivals and cape cod cottages, much of it 40-80 years old. On top of that, Middlesex County deals with ice dams forming at the eaves and pushing water back into the wall.

We have worked on enough Somerville exteriors to know what tends to be waiting behind the old material. Housing here runs to colonial revivals and cape cod cottages, much of it 40-80 years old.

The reason we push people toward a local contractor for exterior contracting is not loyalty to the idea — it is that the failures we get called out to fix are almost always detail failures, and details are what a crew working forty miles from home stops caring about at four in the afternoon. On Somerville homes specifically, aging clapboard siding and single-pane windows from the 1960s are what we plan around before a crew is booked. One crew, start to finish, and one person you call. It is a small company and that is deliberate.
Comprehensive General Contractor Services in Somerville, MA
The specification we work to in Somerville is not complicated — an agreed rate for hidden damage written into the contract before we start; siding, windows and doors sequenced so each is flashed into the next correctly; permits filed and inspections scheduled by us, in the right order against the material lead times. Materials are rated for the New England climate zone, and we account for freeze-thaw cycling that opens any joint left unsealed. Every one of those is in the manufacturer's own installation guide. Following it is most of the job.

General Contractor FAQs — Somerville, MA
Common questions from Somerville homeowners about general contractor
How long will exterior contracting take on my Somerville home?
Plan on two to four weeks for a combined siding, window and door package. Middlesex County weather does move schedules — freeze-thaw cycling that opens any joint left unsealed is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.
What usually goes wrong with exterior work on homes in Somerville?
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 exterior scope that grows once the walls are open, with no agreed rate for the extra. Locally, aging clapboard siding comes up repeatedly on colonial revivals.
How do you handle the site during the job?
Landscaping gets covered, debris goes in a container rather than on your lawn, and we sweep for fasteners with a magnet at the end of each day. On a Somerville lot that is usually the difference between a tolerable two weeks and a miserable one.
Which exterior work do you install?
We work mainly in full-exterior envelope work, trim, soffit and fascia systems, porch and entry rebuilds, and we are certified installers for James Hardie, Andersen, Therma-Tru. Which of those makes sense for your Somerville home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. The crew on your Somerville home is our own. It is the main reason we can hold a schedule and the main reason the same people who started your job are the ones who finish it.
What parts of Somerville do you cover?
All of it, including South Somerville, North Somerville, Somerville Center and the rest of ZIP 02143. We also work throughout Middlesex County.
