Common questions
Who pulls the building permits?
We do. In Massachusetts the registered contractor pulls the building permit. If a homeowner pulls it instead, they may lose access to the state's Guaranty Fund, which can help homeowners with unpaid judgments against a contractor.
How much do I pay up front?
A deposit before work starts. By Massachusetts law it can't be more than one-third of the contract price, unless special-order materials cost more than that. Then a progress payment once the work passes the rough inspections, and the final payment once the final inspection passes.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The first visit and the written estimate are free.
Do you give a warranty?
Yes. All our work comes with a one-year warranty.
Who does the plumbing and electrical?
The plumbers and electricians we hire for each job. We schedule them and manage the work, so you don't coordinate anyone.
Do I need an architect?
When a project needs drawings, we bring in an architect for it. You don't have to find one yourself.
Where do you work?
Most of our jobs are in the towns listed above, from Worcester to Newton and Andover. We take jobs in other parts of Massachusetts too, so ask.
