He treats our home as if it was his own
Highly recommended
Malden is a compact inland city of about five square miles in Middlesex County, settled in 1640 and grown steadily since. Its neighborhoods include Bellrock, Edgeworth, Maplewood, Faulkner, Linden, Ferryway and Forestdale, with the Middlesex Fells Reservation and Pine Banks Park close by. Only about 47 percent of its housing units are owner-occupied, which tells you a lot about the housing stock: a large number of homes are in multi-unit buildings and rentals.
Renovating in that setting has its own rhythm. Lots are tight and access can be limited, so planning deliveries and work hours matters. Buildings have been updated in layers over many decades, so plaster, wiring and plumbing from different eras are often found in the same wall. And when a property is rented, scheduling around the people who live there becomes part of the job. We start with a visit to your property, assess the space and plan the work around how the building is actually used.
In a dense city, the most common jobs are the ones that make a small space work harder. Kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling projects here are often about layout, storage and fixtures that fit tight floor plans, with tile installation done right the first time. Flooring holds up to high-traffic households and rental units, and drywall and plaster repairs old plaster and water-damaged ceilings before painting brings the rooms back. Outside, masonry covers brick, chimneys, steps and walkways, pressure washing refreshes siding and driveways, and demolition takes out what needs to go before the remodel begins.
When one general contractor in Malden coordinates all of it, deliveries, work hours and neighbors are planned once, and nobody has to wait for another trade to finish.
The biggest surprise in an older Malden building is usually what is behind the finished surface. Plaster over lath, patched wiring, pipes replaced in sections and old paint layers are all common. Paint from before 1978 can contain lead, and some older joint compound and ceiling coatings can contain asbestos. Neither is a problem when left alone, and both matter when disturbed.
That is why a general contractor in Malden should treat assessment as part of the job. Before we open walls, we look at what the building is telling us, and we tell you what we find as the work moves forward. An honest estimate accounts for the unknowns, it does not ignore them.
Most renovation work in Malden, including kitchens, bathrooms and structural work, needs a permit from the city’s building department. In Massachusetts the registered contractor applies for permits on covered work. Owners of an owner-occupied one- or two-family home may apply themselves, at the cost of the protections the state’s Home Improvement Contractor program provides. In practice, a general contractor in Malden takes care of this for you.
If you own a building with more units, the rules can differ, so ask early. We will go over your project’s likely requirements at the free estimate.
The first step is a free visit to your property, where we check access, the state of the walls, floors and systems, and how the space is used. Then comes a plan and an itemized estimate. During the work we keep dust contained and clean up each day, which matters when neighbors or tenants share the building. You get a final walkthrough before we call it done.
We work as a general contractor in Malden and in 14 other cities across the North Shore, Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire. Nearby, we also work in Saugus, Revere, Boston and Lynn. See every town on our service areas page.
