Garage Building services in Medford
Ask what a Medford garage needs and the answer depends on how close the house sits to the Fells. North Medford and Fulton Heights climb toward the Middlesex Fells Reservation, where lots are steep, rock comes up fast and a level pad for a garage can take a cut into the hill and a retaining wall. Down along the Mystic River, South Medford and Wellington are flatter and denser, with two-families on narrow lots and one-car garages tucked behind them. West Medford has Victorian and Colonial homes, some with an old barn or carriage house that still has potential. Across the city, frost and snow are the constants: footings go deep, and roofs are framed for real snow. We get asked to rebuild single garages, build attached garages onto Capes, cut garage pads into sloped lots and add rooms above.
