Home Remodeling in Lawrence, MA
Your Trusted Home Remodeling Contractor in Lawrence
Lawrence is dense — about 12,741 people per square mile — and 79% of its homes predate 1980, so most work here means multi-family buildings, tight street access, and federal RRP lead rules on nearly every surface we disturb. We keep remodels tight and predictable: fixed scope, permits filed with Lawrence, and trades sequenced so the room isn't out of service longer than it has to be.
Lawrence (Essex County) is a urban community — most renovations here center on weathering, lead-safe prep, and color-matching to existing exteriors. The town has a population of about 88,297 and a median home value near $394K (US Census, ACS 2023), and sits about 30 miles from our Hudson shop.

At $393,500, the typical Lawrence home runs about 31% below the median of the 143 towns we serve. We quote accordingly — durable mid-grade products that hold up through New England winters without pricing the job past what the house calls for.
The median Lawrence home was built in 1947, and 79% 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.
44% of Lawrence's housing sits in two- to four-unit buildings — the two- and three-deckers this part of Massachusetts is built from. That work means staging off porches and back stairs, coordinating with more than one household, and prepping clapboard that has been repainted many times over. At 30% owner-occupied, a real share of Lawrence property is tenanted, so we are used to landlord timelines, turnover windows, and quoting work that has to last between tenants.
Lawrence has 12 properties on the National Register of Historic Places — among them Great Stone Dam and Gleason Building. A register that size tells you what the housing stock is like: original millwork, many layers of paint, and exteriors where matching a period profile matters more than working fast.
We work out of Hudson, 29.7 miles away, and regularly in neighboring Methuen, Andover, North Andover — so a crew is usually already in the area rather than traveling in for a single job.
What Lawrence's housing is typically like
Lawrence's median home was built in 1947 (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 Lawrence 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.
