General Contractor in Randolph, MA
Randolph is a diverse, close-knit Norfolk County community about 15 miles south of Boston, with commuter rail access at the Holbrook/Randolph station, the Blue Hills Reservation on its doorstep, and a housing stock full of solid postwar Capes, ranches, and Colonials ready for modern updates.
Incorporated in 1793 from the south precinct of old Braintree and named for Peyton Randolph, first president of the Continental Congress, Randolph grew into one of the nation's leading boot and shoe producers by 1850 — at one point nearly two-thirds of Randolph workers made boots and shoes shipped as far as California and Australia. Today it is one of Massachusetts' most diverse communities, with roughly 43% of its homes built between 1940 and 1969 during the postwar boom.

Frequently asked questions
What permits are required for remodeling in Randolph?
The Town of Randolph Building Department at 41 South Main Street (2nd floor) requires a building permit whenever a structure is constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, or demolished — only repairs that don't affect structural integrity are exempt. Randolph accepts applications 24/7 through its PermitEyes online permitting portal, and we handle the entire permit process for our clients.
What renovations are popular in Randolph?
About 43% of Randolph's homes were built between 1940 and 1969 — modest Capes and ranches built for the postwar middle class — so kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, open-concept conversions, dormer additions, and finished basements that add space and value are especially popular here.
What was Randolph historically known for?
Boots and shoes. By 1850 Randolph was one of the nation's leading boot producers, shipping footwear as far away as California and Australia, and the industry lasted well into the 20th century. The 1842 Greek Revival Stetson Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, still anchors the town center.
