He treats our home as if it was his own
Highly recommended
Salem grew quickly from the 1950s on, and much of its housing reflects that: ranches, capes, split-levels and colonials built in the second half of the 20th century, along with condos and newer developments. Canobie Lake, the Tuscan Village area and the commercial corridor along Route 28 have shaped the town’s modern character, and there are still older farmhouses and cottages around town.
A house from those decades is ready for its first or second major update. Kitchens still have their original layout and cabinets. Bathrooms are small and dated. Flooring has worn through, or has carpet over hardwood. Basements are unfinished or partly finished. These are the projects where a general contractor in Salem, NH adds the most value, because a single plan covers demolition, layout, tile, flooring, paint and finish work in a clear order. We begin with a walk through your home, discuss your goals and assess the space before anything is priced.
Homes of this era often have more going on than the room you called about: a bathroom added later, a basement that was never finished, a kitchen that opens onto a dated floor. The first visit looks at how those pieces connect, so the plan covers the whole stretch of the house the work will touch and the estimate reflects it.
In a suburban house from the second half of the 20th century, the usual sequence starts inside. Kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling with new tile installation are the first updates, flooring replaces worn carpet or uncovers the hardwood beneath, and drywall and plaster and painting finish the rooms. Outside, painting and masonry protect the house against winter, pressure washing cleans siding, decks and driveways, and demolition handles the tear-out.
A general contractor in Salem, NH who plans it as one project avoids paying for the same room twice.
Southern New Hampshire gets colder and snowier winters than the coast. Ice and snow load on roofs and decks, freeze and thaw works into masonry, and salt from winter roads ends up on walkways, driveways and siding. Wood decks and painted trim take a beating, and basements with poor drainage can take on water at snow melt.
Timing matters. Repair mortar, chimneys and failing paint in fall, before the first freeze, and wash and repaint in late spring. A general contractor in Salem, NH who plans around winter avoids repeating the same repair next year.
In New Hampshire, building permits come from the town. Salem’s Building Department reviews permits and inspections for renovation work such as kitchens, bathrooms, structural changes and electrical or plumbing work, and requirements depend on the scope of the project. Bring your project details to the free estimate and we will go over what it is likely to need and confirm the requirements with the town. In practice, a general contractor in Salem, NH coordinates this with the town for you.
We start with a free visit to the house, where we look at the space and talk through your goals. Next comes a detailed plan and an itemized estimate. During construction we use dust barriers, clean daily and keep you updated, and we close the project with a walkthrough.
