Byggmeister Associates, Inc

After a wide range of carpentry jobs interrupted by the occasional year of college, I founded Byggmeister (Scandinavian for "master builder") in 1983. From the beginning the company has focused on architect-designed residential renovations in and around Boston. We have always placed a high priority on cultivating two things: easy, friendly relations with our clients, and a talented and diverse crew. After year of gradual evolution toward the concept, in 2000 Byggmeister started offering design-build services, and within two years we were both designing and building 90 percent of our projects.

Scope of Work

We do a full range of improvement projects, primarily on single-family homes and, occasionally, in condominiums and apartments. Typical jobs include kitchen and bathroom renovations, attic and basement conversions, additions, decks and porches, whole-house renovations, and landscaping. More and more we are called upon to do significant energy upgrades in houses-sophisticated insulation, air-sealing, and lighting upgrades-work which we find particularly important.
