General Contractor in Duxbury, MA
Duxbury is one of the South Shore's most prestigious coastal communities — a maritime heritage town with the Myles Standish Monument, world-class sailing, and stunning waterfront estates.
Incorporated in 1637, Duxbury was home to Myles Standish and John Alden of Pilgrim fame. The Myles Standish Monument (1898) overlooks Plymouth Bay. Duxbury has long been considered one of New England's finest sailing communities, and its beautiful Colonials, Capes, and coastal estates on generous lots require the finest renovation craftsmanship.
