Home repair & restoration in Stow

Stow is one of the more rural towns we serve, apple orchards, farm stands, golf courses, and older homes on larger lots spread along the Assabet River southwest of Acton. The housing skews toward antique farmhouses, capes, and colonials, with settled framing that shows up as sticking doors, gapped trim, and out-of-plumb frames, plus newer custom homes scattered on wooded parcels. A lot of our Stow work is exactly that character-home punch list: re-hanging doors, tightening and repairing trim, patching plaster and drywall, and knocking out the accumulated small jobs in one organized visit. The rural spread puts Stow in our second travel zone, but it's a familiar route.

Questions

Working in Stow

My old Stow farmhouse has doors that stick and won't latch, can you fix that?
Yes, that's classic settled-frame behavior in older homes. We diagnose whether it's the hinge, the jamb, or a strike plate that's drifted, then adjust the fit so the door swings and latches cleanly.
Is there a travel fee to Stow?
Stow's rural spread puts it in our second travel zone, so there's a modest travel component in the visit minimum. The work itself is always quoted as a range after we see it, never a flat sight-unseen number.
Can you handle a long list of small jobs in one trip?
That's ideal for a town like Stow. Send the full list with photos and we'll sequence it so one organized visit covers as much as possible, doors, trim, patching, mounting, and the rest.
