A Contractor Who Knows How Somerville Homes Are Built

Somerville is one of the most densely built cities in New England, and it shows in the housing. Between Davis Square, Ball Square, Union Square, Winter Hill, Spring Hill, and East Somerville, most homes are triple-deckers, two-families, and colonials that went up a century ago on narrow lots. They have real character, and they also have the wiring, framing, and layouts of their era. That is exactly the kind of home we work on every week.

When you remodel a kitchen in a Ball Square two-family or finish a basement near Assembly Row, the surprises are rarely the finishes. They are the old knob-and-tube runs, the 60 or 100 amp panel that cannot carry a modern kitchen, the balloon framing behind the plaster, and the tight access that makes staging materials a puzzle. We plan for those conditions before we open a wall, so the budget and the schedule hold up.

We pull building and electrical permits through the Somerville Inspectional Services Division and line up inspections as part of the job. Because our own licensed electrical crew is on the same team, the rough and final electrical inspections fall into step with the rest of the build. In a city where winter pushes work indoors and summer opens up exterior projects, one accountable crew is what keeps a Somerville remodel moving instead of sitting half-finished between subcontractors.

The Somerville difference

Construction and Licensed Electrical, One Crew

Most contractors in the Boston metro sub out the electrical. On an old Somerville home, that is where projects stall: the panel upgrade waits on an outside electrician, the ISD inspection slips, and two trades point fingers over who opens the wall.

We keep general contracting and licensed electrical under one roof. When your Winter Hill kitchen needs a 200 amp service or your Union Square rental needs old knob-and-tube replaced, the same team that framed the space runs the wiring and stands behind the inspection. Fewer handoffs, fewer delays, one number to call.

  • Construction, remodeling, and licensed electrical from one Somerville crew
  • Fewer subcontractor handoffs means fewer schedule delays
  • Permits and inspections coordinated through the Somerville ISD
  • Licensed and insured in Massachusetts (HIC #217519 / CSL #122193)

Somerville General Contractor FAQs

Straight answers before you hire, specific to working in Somerville.

Yes. Most of our work is in the kind of housing Somerville is built on, triple-deckers, two-families, and early 1900s colonials around Winter Hill, Spring Hill, and Ten Hills. These homes often hide balloon framing, old knob-and-tube wiring, and undersized panels, and we plan for that before we open a wall so there are no mid-project surprises.
Yes. We pull building and electrical permits through the Somerville Inspectional Services Division and coordinate the required inspections as part of the job. Because our own crew handles the electrical, the wiring inspection lines up with the rest of the build instead of waiting on an outside sub.
