Hingham originally included Cohasset before it split off as its own town in 1770 — which makes Cohasset one of the closest communities to our roots, quite literally. Today it’s known for granite coastline, a working harbor, and some of the South Shore’s most sought-after waterfront real estate, from historic Village homes to the scenic estates along Jerusalem Road.
Waterfront property here faces a specific challenge. Salt air, coastal storms, and constant moisture exposure wear down siding, paint, and exterior wood far faster than they would on an inland property. We build and finish every Cohasset project with that exposure in mind from the start.
Every service below is available across our full service area — same crew, same standards, regardless of which town you’re in.
We renovate kitchens across Cohasset's full range of housing — historic Village homes with original layouts to update thoughtfully, and newer waterfront construction where the kitchen often anchors an open living space with a water view. Professional design comes included with every renovation.
We handle full bathroom renovations for both historic homes near the town center and newer construction along the coast, managing plumbing, tile, and fixtures as one coordinated project rather than splitting the work across separate trades.
We design additions to work with Cohasset's mix of historic Village architecture and newer waterfront construction, handling permitting, structural work, and finishing as one project regardless of which architectural style we're matching.
We build decks here to handle salt air, wind exposure, and often a harbor or ocean view worth designing around. Composite decking frequently makes more sense on waterfront properties than wood, since it resists the moisture and salt exposure that accelerates wood rot close to the coast.
Coastal weathering accelerates siding deterioration, so we lean toward fiber cement and other moisture-resistant materials for direct waterfront exposure rather than standard vinyl. We inspect what's happening behind the siding too, since salt-laden moisture finds its way past even small gaps and compromises sheathing before the surface damage becomes obvious.
Decks near the water wear out faster than their inland counterparts, so we inspect the whole structure — framing, posts, footings — rather than assuming a standard inland timeline applies. Salt-laden air corrodes fasteners faster too, which we check for specifically during any coastal deck repair.
We select roofing materials for wind resistance as much as weatherproofing, since coastal storms bring higher wind loads than an inland property typically faces. Every roof replacement carries our 12-year warranty on workmanship and materials, regardless of how close to the water the home sits.
We install coastal-rated windows and doors built for better wind and moisture resistance than standard residential units, which matters directly for homes facing the ocean or Cohasset Harbor.
Our US Pro Method refinishes cabinets off-site and reinstalls them in under 10 days — a fast way to update a kitchen's look between larger renovation projects.
We coat garage and basement floors with durable epoxy systems, useful for Cohasset's coastal humidity, which affects below-grade and ground-level concrete more than it does further inland.
We choose marine-grade paint systems specifically for salt air and coastal UV exposure, since standard exterior paint breaks down faster this close to the water. Full surface prep — washing, scraping, priming — matters even more here, because a shortcut in prep work shows up as premature peeling within a year or two on a coastal property. We coordinate exterior work around tide and weather windows when a home sits directly on the water.
We paint interiors with full surface prep and a complimentary color consultation, addressing the humidity-related paint issues that show up more often in coastal homes than inland ones.
We assess the property, factoring in coastal exposure where it applies.
We recommend materials rated for salt air and storm conditions.
We handle applications with Cohasset’s building department.
Our crew completes the work to code, with regular updates throughout.
e review finished work together and leave the site clean.
Yes — salt air and direct ocean exposure speed up wear significantly compared to inland properties. Homes closer to the water often need repainting or maintenance a few years sooner than a typical South Shore home further from the coast.
We generally recommend fiber cement siding and marine-grade exterior paints over standard materials for direct coastal exposure, and we’ll suggest specific products based on your property’s proximity to the water.
Yes — we work across Cohasset’s full range of housing, from historic homes near the town center to newer construction along the waterfront.
Waterfront and coastal properties can involve additional review depending on proximity to the water and any conservation area overlap. We’ll flag this during your consultation if it applies to your property.
es — we serve all of Cohasset, including its waterfront neighborhoods.
Whether it’s exterior painting built to handle salt air or a full kitchen renovation, we bring coastal-specific expertise to every Cohasset project.
