General Contractor in Brighton, MA
Brighton is a lively Boston neighborhood bordered by Newton and Brookline, home to Boston College and a mix of Victorian triple-deckers and single-family homes.
Brighton was annexed by Boston in 1874 and was historically known for its stockyards and meatpacking industry. Today, it's a vibrant residential neighborhood with a strong Boston College community and beautiful tree-lined streets. Brighton's Victorian and early 20th-century housing stock is well-suited to the siding, addition, and carpentry work we specialize in.
