Newton is really thirteen distinct villages in one city — Newton Centre, Waban, Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newtonville, and more — each with its own housing character, but largely built up in the early-to-mid 20th century. That means a lot of Newton renovation work involves updating homes with good bones but dated systems, layouts, or finishes, in a market where buyers and homeowners alike expect a high standard of craftsmanship.
We’re based in Hingham, about 25 miles southeast, and bring the same disciplined process and licensed crew to Newton that we use across our entire service area.

Newton’s 13 villages hold one of the richest architectural mixes in the state — Victorian Queen Annes in Newton Centre, Colonial Revivals in Chestnut Hill, Craftsman bungalows in Auburndale. Several of these areas, including Crystal Lake and Newton Upper Falls, are local historic districts where exterior work needs Historical Commission sign-off.
If your home is in Crystal Lake, Newton Upper Falls, Auburndale, or another local historic district, we flag Historical Commission requirements before any exterior work begins.
