General Contractor in Lexington, MA
Lexington is where the American Revolution began — the site of the 'shot heard round the world' on April 19, 1775. Today it's an affluent town with exceptional schools and beautiful historic homes.
On April 19, 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired on Lexington Green. The Minuteman statue on the Battle Green is one of America's most recognizable monuments. Lexington's Colonial and Federal-style homes — many dating to the 18th and 19th centuries — are what Coen Construction's craftsmanship is designed to preserve and enhance.
