Norwood is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1872 and home to roughly 31,500 people. It was largely built out in the streetcar era, which tends to mean late-Victorian and early-1900s two- and three-family homes — solid framing, generous trim, and wiring and plumbing retrofitted more than once.

It is about 30 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.

What does a general contractor actually do?+
Holds the contract for the whole project and stays accountable for it: pulls the permits in the company's name, hires and schedules every trade, coordinates inspections, manages the budget and change orders, and answers for the finished result. You deal with one person instead of five.
When should I hire a general contractor instead of individual trades?+
Whenever the work crosses trades or needs a permit. A single room repaint does not need one. A kitchen, a bathroom, an addition, or anything that opens a wall does — because the cost of getting the sequence wrong is far higher than the coordination fee.
