General contractor in Wellesley, MA

Wellesley's housing stock is among the oldest in the country, with more than a third of homes built before 1939 and another large share constructed between 1940 and 1969. Colonial, Tudor, and Craftsman-style homes sit on generous lots throughout neighborhoods near Wellesley Square, Wellesley Hills, and Babson Park. Older roofing systems on these pre-war homes have often been re-roofed multiple times, and the underlying sheathing and framing can carry decades of deferred maintenance. Wellesley also sits in a wind-exposure zone, with severe storm events posing a real risk to roofing and siding on the town's large, tree-surrounded properties.

Wellesley's Pre-War Homes Require More Than a Surface Fix

When a Wellesley home built before 1939 needs a new roof, the project rarely stops at shingles. Original board sheathing under early roofing systems can be spaced, split, or soft from decades of moisture cycling. We open the roof, assess what is underneath, and replace what needs replacing before the new system goes on. That approach prevents callbacks and protects the investment homeowners make in these properties.

Storm damage in Wellesley tends to involve trees as much as wind. Large, mature oaks and maples on residential lots can drop limbs that puncture roofing, crack siding panels, and break window glazing in a single event. We handle the full scope of that damage as an insurance restoration project, from initial documentation through finished repairs, so homeowners are not managing multiple contractors across a single claim.

Siding on Wellesley's older Colonials and Tudors is often original wood that has been painted over repeatedly. When moisture gets behind it, the damage shows up first at window sills, corner boards, and where trim meets the foundation. We replace siding and integrate the window and trim details at the same time, so the finished exterior is sealed at every joint rather than patched at the obvious spots.

Our Services in Wellesley, MA

Every service, available in Wellesley, MA

Roofing replacement is the most common project on Wellesley's pre-war housing stock, where original or early-replacement systems have reached the end of their service life. Siding work is frequent on the wood-clad Colonials and Tudors throughout the town, where moisture infiltration behind original clapboard or shingle siding has caused rot at window surrounds and corner boards. Insurance-based restoration after storm damage is also a regular need, given Wellesley's wind exposure and the large trees that surround most properties. Window replacement on pre-war homes improves both weatherproofing and energy performance in houses that were built long before insulated glazing existed.

Contracted K&B as our general contractor to renovate our home. I strongly recommend this company. Reaching them was easy, professional from the initial pricing, through to final completion. Even with the many surprises that were encountered, the work they delivered exceeded our expectations. Excellent workmanship, site was cleaned daily and they provided a clear daily schedule.

Charles Cuellar Google review · March 2026

We worked with Kevin to rebuild our townhouse after fire damage, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is hardworking, responsive, efficient and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He kept things on track and made a difficult situation much easier for us. We are so grateful to have him. It was a great pleasure working with him, and we highly recommend him and his team.

FAQ

General Contractor FAQ for Wellesley, MA

Common questions from Wellesley, MA customers about our services, process, and coverage.

On pre-war Wellesley homes with original board sheathing, soft spots, visible rot, and spaced boards that no longer provide a solid nailing surface are signs that sheathing replacement is needed. A thorough inspection at the start of the project, before new materials are ordered, is the right way to find out what is actually there.

Most standard homeowner's policies cover sudden storm damage to roofing and siding, including damage from fallen trees and high winds. The key is documenting the damage thoroughly before any temporary repairs are made. We work with insurance carriers on restoration projects and can help with the documentation process.

Fiber cement siding is a strong choice for Wellesley's pre-war Colonials and Tudors because it holds paint well, resists moisture, and can be profiled to match original clapboard or shingle patterns. It also performs better than wood in Wellesley's wind and rain exposure without requiring the same maintenance cycle.

Yes. Replacement windows can be sized and installed to fit within existing trim surrounds on older Wellesley homes, preserving the exterior profile while upgrading to insulated glazing. The approach depends on the condition of the existing trim and rough opening, which we assess before recommending a specific installation method.
