Somerville packs a lot of housing into about four square miles. Most of it is wood-frame: triple-deckers, two-family homes and older singles on narrow lots, many now split into condos. Remodeling here means working in tight stairwells, sharing walls with neighbors and planning around permit-only street parking.
We work all over the city, from the side streets off Davis Square and Ball Square to Winter Hill, Spring Hill and the blocks around Union Square that changed fast after the Green Line Extension opened. The common thread is old housing that needs careful, modern work done without disrupting the rest of the building.
Our base in Chelsea is a short drive away over the Mystic, so we can come out to look at the job quickly, give you a clear written estimate after the visit and keep the crew on schedule once work starts.

Triple-deckers, two-families and condo conversions
A large share of Somerville homes were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s for workers commuting to Boston and the factories along the Mystic. That means balloon framing, plaster and lath walls, original subfloors that have sagged over a century, and bathrooms stacked one above the other on each floor.
Stacked bathrooms matter. A leak in a third-floor shower shows up on the second-floor ceiling, so waterproofing behind the tile and a properly sloped shower pan are not optional. When we open a wall we often find old galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, and we flag anything that needs a licensed plumber before tile goes back on.
In condo buildings, the association usually has rules about work hours, protecting common hallways and approving changes to plumbing or flooring (some require sound-dampening underlayment under hardwood or tile to protect the unit below). We read those rules with you before we schedule.
Most Somerville homes were built before 1978, so lead paint is likely somewhere in the building. Federal lead-safe work rules (EPA RRP) apply when painted surfaces are disturbed, which is worth asking any contractor about.
What Somerville homeowners usually call us for
Bathroom remodels are the most common request: small bathrooms in a triple-decker unit where every inch counts. Swapping a tub for a walk-in shower, adding a niche, choosing tile that makes the room feel larger and installing a quiet exhaust fan that actually vents outside, which matters in humid Boston summers and keeps mold off the ceiling.
Flooring is close behind. Old pine and oak floors in Somerville houses are rarely level, and New England humidity makes wood move between winter and summer. We check and correct the subfloor before installing luxury vinyl plank, engineered wood or tile, so the new floor does not crack, gap or squeak.
We also install kitchen and bath cabinets in compact kitchens, do drywall and plaster repairs after plumbing or electrical upgrades, fix carpentry and trim, and handle post-construction cleaning so a unit is ready for a new tenant, a sale listing or simply for the family to move back in.
Why Somerville homeowners work with WS
We are close. Chelsea to Somerville is a quick trip by Route 16 or I-93, so a site visit does not need to wait a week, and when a project needs a small follow-up we can be there without turning it into a big production.
We answer the same day. Text us on WhatsApp with a few photos and you get a reply that day, then a free visit with no fee to look at the job. Your estimate comes after we have seen it in person.
We speak English, Portuguese and Spanish. Somerville has long-standing Brazilian, Portuguese, Haitian and Central American communities, and many owners and tenants are more comfortable discussing details in their own language. So are we.
We keep shared buildings clean. In a triple-decker your neighbors live with our work too, so we protect hallways and stairs, contain dust and clean up at the end of every day. Wanderson runs the jobs himself, so you always know who is responsible.
