Charlton is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1755 and home to roughly 13,500 people. It was settled well before the Republic, which usually means a core of Federal and Greek Revival homes surrounded by later infill — plenty of hand-framed structure, and rooflines never meant to carry today's insulation. For a contractor that makes it a small town, which usually means a mix of older centre-of-town housing and newer subdivisions on the edges. It sits in Central Massachusetts. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Season matters more than most homeowners expect in Central Massachusetts. Exterior work has a window, interior work doesn't, and planning additions & remodeling in Charlton around that window is usually the difference between a smooth job and one fighting the weather. We'll tell you honestly when to start.
The job isn't finished when the work is. We haul away the debris, protect and clean everything we touched, and walk the whole additions & remodeling project with you in Charlton before we ask for the final payment.
