Property & Building Services

Buying or building a home on an island 30 miles at sea presents various challenges, but we have been meeting these challenges for centuries! Building and caring for a home on Nantucket goes far beyond being simply utilitarian; we have transformed it into an artform.

If you are considering purchasing an existing home or building one from scratch you should know that the island has services that run the gamut from architects, engineers, environmental services, interior designers, excavators, masons and bricklayers, HVAC, plumbers, electricians, builders, carpenters, framers, concrete contractors, flooring and carpeting services, custom woodworkers, pool construction, landscaping and gardening services, locksmiths, generator installation, alarm systems, painters and, when it is finished, lawyers for title and closing services. After moving in, you can select from a pool of accomplished interior designers, picture-framers, sign and quarter board crafters, refrigeration contractors, custom door and window specialists and (just in case) pest control firms.

As a homeowner on Nantucket, one has a host of residential services available from installing a flagpole, rubbish removal, storage facilities, propane services and delivery, internet service providers, property management (and, for seasonal homeowners) property management and caretaking. Naturally, natural gas and heating oil providers will be necessary as well as water and electric utility services. Other services, such as fence construction and maintenance, driveway paving, landscape maintenance, landscape lighting, and deck construction firms are plentiful and topnotch.
