Your Trusted General Contracting Contractor in Dedham

75% of Dedham's homes were built before 1980, one of the older housing stocks we work in. That makes EPA Lead-Safe RRP practice the default here, not an add-on: containment, HEPA cleanup and dust control on any surface we sand or scrape. As a registered Massachusetts contractor (HIC #207214), we pull permits with the Dedham building department, coordinate licensed subs for specialty trades, and manage the schedule end to end.

Dedham (Norfolk County) is a suburban community — most renovations here center on weathering, lead-safe prep, and color-matching to existing exteriors. The town has a population of about 25,109 and a median home value near $630K (US Census, ACS 2023), and sits about 22 miles from our Hudson shop.

At $630,400, the typical Dedham home runs about 10% above the median of the 143 towns we serve. In practice that means more detailed trim, more color matching, and homeowners who want to see the prep work before the first coat.

The median Dedham home was built in 1955, and 75% of the town's housing predates 1980. Most jobs here involve a home old enough to fall under the EPA's pre-1978 lead rule. We are a Lead-Safe certified firm, so containment and HEPA cleanup are standard on any surface we sand or scrape — not a line item added later.

70% of Dedham's housing is single-family, with the balance in smaller multi-unit buildings — a mix that means we size crews per property rather than assuming one pattern. At 73% owner-occupied, most of the homes we quote here are lived in by the people paying for the work — they see the prep, so we do it properly.

Dedham has 1 property on the National Register of Historic Places — among them Ames Schoolhouse. Towns with listed buildings tend to have the older stock around them too, which is where careful prep and lead-safe practice earn their keep.

We work out of Hudson, 22.2 miles away, and regularly in neighboring Westwood, Needham, Norwood — so a crew is usually already in the area rather than traveling in for a single job.

What Dedham's housing is typically like

Dedham's median home was built in 1955 (US Census). Homes of this period in Massachusetts are generally post-war stock — commonly Cape, Ranch, minimal traditional and early split-level.

The post-war building boom: modest footprints, simpler trim, and a mix of plaster and early drywall inside. Built well before the 1978 lead ban, so testing before disturbing painted surfaces is warranted. Exterior clapboard of this period takes paint well once properly prepped.

Because that predates the 1978 residential lead ban, we treat Dedham work as lead-safe by default — we are an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm, and containment and HEPA cleanup are part of the job rather than an extra.
