General Contractor in Westborough, What You Should Know
Westborough is a different kind of project market than the rest of our service area. The town sits at the intersection of I-495 and I-90, has commuter rail service to Boston, and a housing stock that spans from $1.7 million restored Victorians on Church Street to modern colonials on 1-acre lots in Lackey Street's newer subdivisions, with antique homes near the town center going for around $1 million. Westborough homeowners tend to expect a higher level of finish, more design coordination, and more careful project management than most Worcester County towns - and we calibrate our work accordingly.
The town's housing breaks down into a few distinct categories. There's the historic inventory: 1870s capes, restored Victorians, and antique colonials concentrated near the town common and along the older streets. There's the established suburban inventory from the 60s, 70s, and 80s - colonials and contemporaries on quarter to half-acre lots throughout the cul-de-sac neighborhoods. And there's the newer high-end construction - modern colonials, brick-front colonials, and luxury custom homes on the larger parcels developed since 2000.
Westborough's Building Department is at Town Hall on West Main Street, and the historic district commission gets involved on exterior changes near the town common. The conservation commission is active on projects near Lake Chauncy, the Sudbury Reservoir, and the wetland systems that thread through town.
From South Barre, we're about 50 minutes from most Westborough addresses. We typically work in Westborough on multi-week projects where we can dedicate a crew and run the project tightly - this isn't a market where we drop in for half a day.
