Expert General Contractor in Thompson, Massachusetts

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 Thompson 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: work that was quoted by three separate trades who each assumed someone else was handling the flashing; exterior scope that grows once the walls are open, with no agreed rate for the extra; and two warranties that each point at the other when something leaks. Locally, worn aluminum siding from the 1970s comes up repeatedly on triple-decker homes.

Plan on two to five weeks depending on how much of the exterior is in scope. 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.

Sometimes. On a triple-decker homes 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.

We do. We file with the Thompson 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.

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.
