General Contractor in Medford, MA. One Team for the Build and the Wiring.

Ask a homeowner in West Medford what their house is and they will usually say colonial revival, because that is what most of the neighborhood was built as between the 1900s and the 1920s. Climb the hill into Fulton Heights and you find tidy single-families; drop toward Wellington and Station Landing and it turns into condos and newer stock. Then there is the band of two-families and shared-wall homes around Medford Square and the Tufts campus. One city, four or five very different kinds of building, and we work on all of them.

What ties those houses together is age, not style. A West Medford colonial and a Medford Square two-family will both hand you the same three problems once the walls open: a service panel sized for a single 1920s family, cloth-and-rubber wiring that a modern kitchen cannot legally sit on, and framing that never planned for the island and range you want. On the lower streets near the Mystic River, moisture gets added to that list. None of it should be a surprise on demolition day, so we look for it during the estimate.

For every one of these jobs the building and electrical permits go through the Medford Building Department, and we file and chase them ourselves. What makes that smoother here is that the electricians are our own people, not a sub we are borrowing, so the wiring inspection slots into the schedule instead of dictating it. On a hundred-year-old Medford home, that single fact is usually the difference between a clean six weeks and a stalled three months.
