Hanson was first settled in 1632 as the western parish of Pembroke and incorporated on its own in 1820. It’s one of the few inland towns on the South Shore, built around cranberry bogs and ponds like Indian Head Pond, Maquan Pond, and Wampatuck Pond — a history that earned it the local nickname “Cranberry City.” That inland, pond-adjacent geography shows up in almost every renovation project we take on here, from larger lot sizes to wetland-related permitting.
We serve Hanson as one of our regular South Shore towns, bringing the same licensed, lead-safe certified crew here that we use throughout our territory, with real experience navigating the wetland and conservation considerations that come with the town’s pond- and bog-adjacent lots.
Every service below is available across our full service area — same crew, same standards, regardless of which town you’re in.
Hanson's larger inland lots often give more room to expand a kitchen footprint than the tighter towns closer to the coast allow.
Full rebuilds and tub-to-shower conversions, factoring in the well and septic systems common on Hanson's larger rural lots.
Hanson's sizable inland lots give additions real room to work with, though parcels may need Conservation Commission review.
Hanson's larger inland lots give a standalone ADU real room to work with — though ponds or former cranberry bogs nearby may trigger Conservation Commission review.
Takes real advantage of Hanson's larger lots; for decks near ponds or wetland buffer zones, we confirm what setback and permitting rules apply before building.
We check for the moisture and rot that higher groundwater near Hanson's ponds and wetland-adjacent lots can cause in framing and footings.
We match siding to Hanson's mix of older farmhouse-era homes and newer construction spread across the town's rural lots.
Energy-efficient windows and doors sized for Hanson's mix of older farmhouse openings and newer construction across the town for installation.
Our US Pro Method delivers a factory-finish transformation in under 10 days, off-site — a fast refresh option for Hanson's older farmhouse-era kitchens.
We follow our full 13-step roofing process and back it with a 12-year workmanship and materials warranty, across Hanson's farmhouse-era and newer homes alike.
We provide full surface prep and lead-safe practices on Hanson's older farmhouse-era homes, common throughout the town's rural, pond- and bog-adjacent neighborhoods.
We paint interiors with full prep and a complimentary color consultation, taking extra care around original trim in Hanson's older farmhouses.
A budget-friendly refresh well suited to structurally sound bathrooms in Hanson's older farmhouse-era homes, without a full renovation.
Durable garage and basement floor coatings — a practical upgrade given how much more below-grade storage space Hanson's larger rural lots tend to offer.
We provide emergency response for water damage, especially relevant near Hanson's numerous ponds and wetland-adjacent properties, where groundwater runs higher.
For additions, ADUs, or decks near ponds or former cranberry bog land, we check Conservation Commission buffer-zone rules before pricing the project.
We finalize layout and materials, accounting for the well and septic systems common on Hanson’s larger rural lots.
We handle applications with the Town of Hanson’s building department, including any additional review required for work near wetland-adjacent or former cranberry bog parcels.
Our crew completes the work to code, coordinating any required wetland monitoring for lots near Hanson’s ponds or bogs.
We review finished work together and leave the site clean.
Most projects take 3 to 8 weeks, though larger renovations may require additional time.
Yes, for some properties. Homes near ponds, wetlands, or former cranberry bog land often fall under Conservation Commission review for additions or any work that disturbs soil near a buffer zone. We identify this at the estimate stage so it’s factored into your timeline rather than discovered mid-project.
Yes — many renovation projects require permits, and we manage applications and inspections as part of your project.
Kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, and additions tend to perform well here, particularly where Hanson’s larger lot sizes give a project more room to work with.
Look for a licensed contractor with strong reviews, transparent estimates, and real experience with wetland-adjacent and well-and-septic properties, not just standard in-town lots.
We bring the same licensed team and clear process to every Hanson project, with real experience navigating the town’s wetland and rural-lot considerations.
