Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Sterling
If you have been putting off additions & remodeling in Sterling because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Sterling homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Sterling is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1781 and home to roughly 8,000 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 13 miles from our Northborough shop — about 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
A additions & remodeling project touches several trades, and the gaps between them are where problems hide. We coordinate all of them under one contract for Sterling homeowners — one schedule, one standard, and nobody pointing at anybody else when a question comes up.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Sterling projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.
