Serving Grafton's Neighborhoods

From historic Grafton Common to growing South Grafton subdivisions, we're active across all three Grafton geographic areas.

North Grafton & The Mill Villages

North Grafton is home to the historic New England Village and Washington Mills complex. Many homes are older and require careful renovation. We specialize in plaster repair, roof restoration, and foundation reinforcement for these character properties. Close to Route 122, Route 30, and the MBTA Grafton Station.

Grafton Center & Historic District

Grafton Common is the town's heart—a four-acre historic green where Worcester Street (Route 140), Millbury Street, and North Street converge. Victorian and colonial homes surround the Common. Work here requires coordination with local historical guidelines.

South Grafton & Developing Areas

South Grafton blends semi-rural charm with newer subdivisions (The Ridings, Abby Woods). Larger lot sizes mean room for bigger additions and new builds. High-rated schools draw families. Route 140 provides easy access to Worcester and the Mass Pike.
