Introduction

Hi there, thank you for taking a look at our company! We are a larger size company with multiple crews. Due to this, and our popularity (we are top rated in the U.S.), OUR WORK DOES NEED TO START AT A MINIMUM OF ABOUT $8,000 to properly commit resources. Please, DO NOT contact us for smaller needs as all leads are expensive! If you are not sure, ********************************************. ************************ We are a very unique and cost competitive group of over 20 licensed, qualified, versatile, and highly-skilled professionals, with decades of specialized multi-trade experience. We do almost everything! This minimum is necessary for us to properly prepair all paperwork, including stamped drawings if/as required (for much of our work this is needed). We secure all permits if/as necessary, including setbacks and any city and state Conservation and Wetlands concerns. We are turnkey, commit our crews and equipment, schedule materials, handle all inspections, etc. Some of our larger projects well exceed $750k. After we visit, we will submit to you a formal line item Statement of Work/Estimate and simple Agreement for reference at no charge. Then, if you choose us, we issue to you proper Workers Compensation and Liability Insurance Certificates in your name, along with the legal Mass. Residential Construction Contract. These documents protect you in many ways, are extremely important, and are required BY LAW from ANY contractor. If needed we have Licensed Architects offering state of the art color 3D solids modeling design proposals, Structural Engineers, Surveyors and Construction Supervisors (CSL's for pulling permits, managing all work, ensuring work is to code and coordinating all inspections) on our team. This along with licensed master electricians and licensed master plumber/pipe fitters and professional masons. We are a registered HIC (Home Improvement Contractor) which also affords you many levels of protection. Our combined experience well exceeds 200 years. We are a premium service, please visit our reviews! We are very friendly, love what we do, and we arrive on time as scheduled. Initially, we meet you in person, on site, to introduce our company and properly discuss and understand your needs. Again, per above, we then submit to you a detailed statement of work, drawing plans if necessary, a detailed quote, and standard paperwork for sign off if you wish to proceed with us. Our company has preferred commercial accounts and relationships with most suppliers, from the big box stores to specialty custom countertop, cabinetry, exotic materials and millwork (windows & doors) suppliers. In many cases this allows us to extend our commercial volume cost savings to our customers, while offering premium quality service, products and expedited deliveries at very competitive pricing. We commit crew to you daily, from the start of a project through completion. Our approach is to communicate, update, and review work in progress with our customers continuously throughout our efforts. This is very important to ensure precise results. We are elete finish carpenters and own complete workshops. We design and install custom built-ins, cabinetry, and elaborate stair systems all the way to "frame to finish" construction. We are extremely experienced in all aspects of roof, facia, and soffit installation and repair. We install and remodel almost everything, decks, porches, walls, siding, doors, additions, dormers, roof offs, windows, on and on. We specialize in repair of any type of wood rot, including structural damage. We do minor to major turnkey kitchen and bathroom custom design and remodeling. We install custom ceramic tiling, including cement board, shower pans, and glass doors. Also offered are professional plastering, installation of suspended and sheetrock ceilings, hardwood, vinyl and composite floor systems, and complete finished basements! Care to add living space, maybe a family room, bathroom & bar in your basement or attic, possibly with dormers, or add an additional level (roof off)? No problem, we have done countless! We also excel at home/estate and commercial long-term property management responsibilities, including businesses and condo associations. Each of us owns an amazing assortment of state-of-the-art tools, including lasers and specialty equipment, and our company owns 4 modern dual axel dump trailers that visit our job sites for waste removal, as/when appropriate. All waste is properly disposed of, and green processed, mostly at the G Mello Corp. transfer station in Georgetown, Ma. From sliding glass doors, windows, or interior/exterior woodwork to custom staircases and handrails to complete demolition and renovations, we do it all. Again, we have very versatile skill sets, are meticulous, prompt, efficient, and clean! Please read our reviews. We work hard for them and are proud of them. If you are interested in addressing singular or multiple needs and establishing a long-term relationship with a top-rated, professional multi trade contractor, and (importantly!) are located within about a 20 minute drive from Beverly, PLEASE CONTACT US, YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID! GUARANTEED! Thanks again for taking a look at us, and we do look forward to hearing from you and adding you to our growing list of 5 star reviews! Very best regards and stay safe! Mark.
