Garage Building services in Waltham
Waltham grew as a mill city on the Charles River, and its streets still show the order it was built in. On the South Side, close to Moody Street, worker-era two-families stand on small lots with little yard and less room for a garage. North of Main Street, Cedarwood, Piety Corner and Lakeview were built out after the Second World War with ranches, Capes and split-levels on regular lots, where a detached garage or an attached second bay usually fits. Prospect Hill and the Highlands add slope and ledge, so some sites need rock work or a stepped foundation. Old block garages around the city are often cracked from decades of frost. Waltham jobs tend to be two-car garages on postwar lots, rebuilds of failing single garages, attached additions, and conversions to living space or a workshop.
