Building in Essex
Essex is a small coastal town with a lot of character - and housing stock that reflects it. From historic capes and colonials along the marshes to newer construction closer to Route 133, the homes here need a contractor who understands older structures, local permitting, and the salt-air conditions that come with building near the coast.
Whether it's a farmer's porch to match an existing home's architecture, a kitchen renovation in a house with uneven floors and plaster walls, or a ground-up build on a lot with wetlands setback requirements, we've worked in these conditions before.
Our headquarters in Plaistow, NH keeps us within easy reach of Essex. Close enough to be on-site daily during active construction.
