General Contractor in Dover, MA
Dover is one of Massachusetts' wealthiest and most exclusive communities — horse country with expansive estates, conservation land, and the highest per-capita income in the state.
Incorporated in 1836, Dover has carefully preserved its rural, equestrian character. With strict zoning that maintains large minimum lot sizes, Dover is home to some of the most spectacular private estates in New England. The town borders Sherborn, Needham, Wellesley, and Medfield, and is served by the Charles River corridor. Coen Construction works on many of Dover's finest estate properties.

Our recommendations account for Colonials, Capes, ranches, and larger suburban homes with room to expand, not just the service requested on the estimate form.
