Our Boston Specialties
Half the drywall calls we get in Boston are not drywall at all — they are plaster over wood lath, and they crack in their own way. We patch holes, water damage, and cracks that keep coming back, and we fix them so they hold through winter. See everything our drywall contractor service covers across Boston and the North Shore.
Most painters here rush the prep, and it shows. We spend our time taping, sanding, and filling before a drop of paint goes on, so the walls, trim, and doors come out crisp with no drips near the trim. Full rooms or a whole floor. Here is our interior painting work in Boston and the North Shore.
New England weather is hard on a deck. Freeze and thaw works water into every crack, pops boards loose, and rots wood you cannot see from the top. Before summer, get the wobbly railings and soft boards checked. See what our deck builder service handles across Boston and the North Shore.
From TVs on plaster walls to blinds on old bay windows, mounting is our number one job — and we assemble the IKEA and flat-pack furniture nobody wants to spend a Sunday fighting. See our mounting and installation work, or jump straight to furniture assembly.
Square footage and subfloor condition change every flooring quote, especially over the 100-year-old plank subfloors common in Boston triple-deckers. Hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, and tile, laid flat and checked level first. See our flooring installation work across Boston and the North Shore.
Cabinets are only as good as the wall behind them, and in a Boston kitchen no corner is square. We install to the studs and scribe every run so doors and drawers line up. Here is our cabinet installation service for kitchens, baths, and closets.
Some jobs are too variable to price from a webpage — tiling, demolition, cleanouts, and exterior repairs all depend on what we find once we're standing in it. We come look, then quote it free. See what our remodeling & big jobs service covers across Boston and the North Shore.
