Massachusetts Contractors: Making Remodeling Work in Massachusetts

The Bay State is famed for many things--a multitude of historical sites, a surfeit of renowned schools and universities, even the quality of its baked beans. No less significant is the recent surge of building activity in the state. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Massachusetts leads the New England region in the number of building permits granted, with 12,686 issued in the year to date. That's over twice the amount issued in the next closest state!

The projects keeping Massachusetts contractors busy range from home exterior work like patio construction and door and window replacement to interior items like cabinet refacing. This is not surprising, as the National Association of Realtors predicts that a major remodeling project like a deck addition has an average return on investment of 90.3%. The value of all this construction and remodeling work is estimated at well over $2 billion dollars, keeping Massachusetts contractors from Boston to Worcester busy.
