What a first build could look like in Boston
Picture a Boston historic masonry, slate-roof and brownstone exterior contractor working on triple-deckers and townhouses across Charlestown, Beacon Hill and the South End. We would launch an online masonry-inspection scheduler with photo upload, a crew calendar that tracks street-occupancy permits and scaffolding setups, and a homeowner portal where condo trustees approve brick-repointing estimates and pay milestone invoices.
