Dan was extremely easy to work with. He made our families emergency renovation process simple and was always available for questions. His company did fantastic work in a timely manner and Everything fell within budget. I would definitely recommend Dan for all your home remodeling needs.
From the beginning of the porch being knocked down. To the rebuilding of my new enclosed porch. Dan and his workers were amazing people. Very professional and courteous people. Beautiful job from start to finish.
Dan and his team just added on a 12×12 composite deck to a existing deck at my home. It came out amazing and we are so happy with it. Dan and his team were excellent and will be using them in future projects, thank you Dan
Best construction company!!! Very responsible and professional. Always on time, always ready to answer all questions!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking either to build a house, to do extension, build a porch or something else. They do free estimates and do the job quickly.
Dan’s Construction just completed a Trex deck with two sets of stairs for me. I am thrilled with the outcome! Dan was pleasant and efficient in overseeing our deck project, his crew worked tirelessly to complete their work, despite bad weather and the issue of trash on my site…
I came across Dan’s Construction by accident while searching the internet and I’m glad I did. I read the reviews and checked out the company and contacted for an estimate. He was quick and professional and reached out enthusiastic to work…
Dan is super nice and easy to work with. His team worked all day to get our roof replaced which had damage down to the rafters. He is knowledgeable, fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend this company and will definitely hire them for future projects.
We called after seeing a recommendation on Facebook and we are very happy we did. We had them build a covered pergola off our back sliders, and since we live in a log home, we wanted rough hewn lumber. Not only did they order the perfect stuff…
Dan and his team completed a full replace of the deck, staircase and balcony at my home. From the beginning Dan was knowledgeable and responsive to my inquiry including being quick to respond to any changes to material or additional items…

Roofing and siding for historic homes
Amherst homeowners are often working on a house that is watched: by a historic district, a neighborhood association, or simply a street of well-kept Victorians. We replace roofs and siding with profiles and details that read correctly on a period home, and we handle the approvals that come with that.
Period-appropriate kitchens and bathrooms
In a Victorian in Amherst the trick is a kitchen that works like a new one and still belongs to the house. We match trim profiles, keep the proportions right, and put the modern function, storage, lighting and ventilation, where it does not fight the architecture.
Sympathetic additions and new construction
Adding to a historic home in Amherst is as much an approvals process as a building one. We design additions that satisfy both: proportion, materials and detailing that hold up to review, built to current code behind the finish.
Porches, decks and sunrooms
A porch on a period home in Amherst has to look original. We rebuild and extend them with correct column proportions, railing profiles and trim, and add decks and sunrooms at the back where they do not disturb the street elevation.
Every service, in Amherst
Roofing and siding through to kitchens, additions and new construction, all run by the same crew.

Common questions in Amherst
Do you serve all of Amherst, MA?
Yes, the whole town, and the surrounding communities such as Northampton, Belchertown and Granby. Our shop is in Ludlow, MA and Amherst is inside the area we cover every week.
Do you pull permits in Amherst?
We do. We file with the Amherst Building Department and manage the inspection schedule through to sign-off, so you never deal with the permitting process yourself.
Are you licensed to work in Massachusetts?
Yes, and in Connecticut as well. Amherst, MA sits close enough to the border that a single-state contractor can be a real constraint; we are licensed both sides and carry liability and workers compensation insurance on every job.
What does a project in Amherst typically cost?
On a period home in Amherst the cost driver is matching: trim, windows and rooflines that have to be right, plus any historic review the work triggers. That is why we do not quote over the phone. The estimate is free, done at your home, and itemized so you can see what is driving the number.
How soon can you start?
Anything needing historic review needs lead time for the approvals, not just the build. Call us early and we will give you an honest date rather than an optimistic one.
What do you work on most in Amherst?
Because housing here runs to antique colonials and Victorians near the common, with mid-century and contemporary homes outside it, most of what we are asked for here is additions in keeping with the house, period-correct exterior work, and kitchen and bathroom renovations. That said, we run the full range: roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, sunrooms, additions and new construction.
Talk it through with someone who has built here before

More about building in Amherst
Working on a period home in Amherst
Amherst is home to UMass, Amherst College and Hampshire College, and a housing market shaped by all three. Housing runs to antique colonials and Victorians near the common, with mid-century and contemporary homes outside it, and on a street like that the detail is the job: trim profiles, window proportion, the pitch and overhang of a porch roof.
Getting those wrong is visible from the sidewalk for the next fifty years, so we match them, and we build to current code behind the finish rather than replicating what was there.
When the work actually happens
Exterior work in Western Massachusetts is season-bound. Roofing and siding run from the thaw through late autumn, and the calendar fills from the first warm week, so the roof that gets called in during a February leak is usually a spring job.
Ice damming drives a lot of the roofing calls here, and it is rarely a shingle problem. It is ventilation and insulation letting heat reach the deck, which is why a straight tear-off and replace can leave you with the same ice next winter. Kitchens, bathrooms and interior work carry the winter, which is the sensible time to run them.
Permits and approvals in Amherst
Work in Amherst is permitted by the Amherst Building Department under the Massachusetts State Building Code, and the contractor doing it has to hold a Home Improvement Contractor registration as well as a construction supervisor license. We hold both, and we file the permit in our name, which is what puts the code responsibility on us rather than on you.
Some of Amherst sits inside districts with additional review, which can govern window replacement, siding and anything that changes a street elevation. Where that applies we handle the submission and build to what gets approved.
