BASED IN PRINCETON, MASSACHUSETTS

Service Areas

ARM Construction works in twelve Worcester County communities. We stay close to the work, because on a project that runs three to six months, that is the difference homeowners actually notice.

We are based at 131 Houghton Road in Princeton and we work across Worcester County. That footprint is deliberate rather than modest. Staying inside it is what allows Andrew Mercurio to be on your job site regularly instead of managing it by phone from two counties away.

It also means we know these towns. Not in a general way, but in the way that changes what a project costs. Sterling has no municipal sewer at all, so septic capacity under Title 5 decides nearly every addition. Worcester is almost entirely sewered, so setbacks decide projects there instead. Westborough sits on the headwaters of three rivers, which makes wetlands review a routine step rather than an occasional one. Northborough has a historic district commission with real authority over exterior work. Each town page below covers what actually governs building there.

Worcester County Communities We Serve

Worcester, MA The largest market in the county and the oldest housing stock. Triple deckers make up roughly half of the city's housing, and we take multifamily work. On tight city lots, conversions usually beat additions.

Leominster, MA The second largest city in the county, built by the comb and plastics industries. The developed sections are on city sewer while the western side is on private wells and septic, which changes what a project involves. Multifamily work included.

Shrewsbury, MA Approximately 90 percent municipal sewer, which makes this the most straightforward town in the county for an ADU. Also home to the converted lake cottages along Lake Quinsigamond, which are their own kind of project.

Westborough, MA The hundredth town in Massachusetts, and the place where the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord rivers all rise. Wetlands proximity and Conservation Commission review come up here more than anywhere else we work.

Holden, MA The largest of our neighboring towns, including the village of Jefferson. Partly sewered, partly septic, and sitting inside the Wachusett Reservoir watershed where state rules can add a layer.

Grafton, MA Six villages rather than one town, with three ZIP codes. The mill villages of Farnumsville and Fisherville are dense and largely multifamily. Grafton Center is a different problem entirely.

Northborough, MA The one town in our area with a Historic District Commission that has real authority over exterior work. If you are re-siding or replacing windows near the town center, confirm your status first.

Southborough, MA The newest housing stock we work in, with a median build year around 1983. A town's worth of houses built in the same twenty-year window, all reaching renovation age at once.

Sterling, MA No public sewer anywhere in town. Every property is on private septic, and the Board of Health reviews wastewater capacity before the building permit issues. That sequencing catches out-of-town contractors.

West Boylston, MA The town that lost the most land to the Wachusett Reservoir. Roughly twenty-five houses were physically moved to higher ground around 1900, which means some homes here sit on foundations newer than their framing.

Boylston, MA Only part of the town is sewered, and which side of that line your address falls on is not obvious from the neighborhood. It decides most of what an addition will cost.

Princeton, MA Our home base. Sitting on and around Mount Wachusett, with more snow, more wind, and a shorter construction season than the towns below it. Almost entirely septic and private wells.

Why the Footprint Is This Size

We could draw a wider circle. Plenty of contractors do, and then spend their days in traffic.

An addition or a full remodel runs three to six months. Over that stretch, the difference between a contractor who is twenty minutes away and one who is an hour away shows up in how often the owner is actually on site, how fast someone gets there when a decision cannot wait, and whether the crew arrives before the morning is gone. Those are the things that determine whether a project feels managed or feels abandoned.

Staying local also means the knowledge is real. We know which building departments move quickly. We know that a Sterling project needs Board of Health sign-off before the building permit rather than after. We know that a 1790s farmhouse in Princeton on a fieldstone foundation and a 1983 colonial in Southborough are entirely different problems requiring entirely different assumptions. That kind of thing cannot be researched on the drive over.

What We Build

The same range of work across every town we serve. Home additions, ADUs and in-law suites, sunrooms and four season rooms, and garage and basement conversions.

Kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and home remodeling.

Custom masonry and stonework, decks and patios, siding and exteriors, and flooring installation.

We also take two-family, three-family, and triple decker work. The full list is on our services page.

Andrew Mercurio holds Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License #CS-093044 and ARM Construction & Management Inc holds Home Improvement Contractor Registration #153199. Both are active and verifiable through the Commonwealth. More about the company is on our about page.

Just Outside the List?

Call anyway. The towns above are where we work most, not a fence. Depending on the project and the season we may still be able to help, and if we cannot, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after a site visit.

Call (774) 249-0221 and tell us about your project.

Kelly Cox Google Review

Andrew replaced a garden window in my kitchen, and a sliding door. He did a meticulous job, and went above and beyond to accommodate some special requests that I had. His attention to detail and willingness to do whatever it took to make me happy didn't go unnoticed. Will definitely use him each and every time!
