General Contracting in Stow, MA

At $657,900, the typical Stow home runs about 15% 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 Stow home was built in 1973, and 60% 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.

85% of Stow's housing is single-family, so nearly every job is a whole-house exterior or a room-by-room interior for one owner — one point of contact, and a schedule we can hold to. At 86% 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.

Stow has 5 properties on the National Register of Historic Places — among them Hapgood House and Tenney Homestead. 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, 3.8 miles away, and regularly in neighboring Maynard, Hudson, Boxborough — so a crew is usually already in the area rather than traveling in for a single job.
