Door Installation, Finish Carpentry And Built-Ins In Lexington, MA

Planning Your Project In Lexington

Lexington publishes a street-by-street list of its four historic districts, so whether your address is in one is something we can tell you before the estimate.

Inside a district the commission reviews only what is visible from a public way, and replacing a door in kind, matching the existing material, color, size and design, is exempt. Where a new door is reviewed, the commission looks at the whole entrance, the frame, fanlight, sidelights and transom as well as the door itself, so we measure and photograph all of it before you choose and bring you options chosen with the published guidelines in mind. A storm door there needs to be mostly glass or screen so the door behind it still shows. The commission meets on the first Thursday of the month with applications due a month ahead, and we build that into your schedule from the start.

Lexington lists replacement doors as permitted work. We pull the permit and tell you what it covers before the proposal is signed.

How A Brightwork Project Runs

The visit comes first, and it is short. We look at the opening, the framing and whatever is behind it, and we tell you what we find rather than what would be easiest to sell. Then you get a written scope and a written price before anything is committed, so the number you approve is the number you pay unless the scope changes.

Once we start you hear from us on the days we are working. If something behind the wall changes the plan, you get photographs and real numbers, and nothing further happens until you say so. That is the whole promise: you will always know what happens next.

Permits And The Building Department

When a permit applies, we confirm the requirements with the Building and Zoning Office, Department of Land Use, Housing and Development before finalizing your proposal, and we include the required steps in the project plan.
