Painting & Remodeling in Essex, MA

Serving Essex Since 1997 | Licensed, Certified & Locally Based

Essex is one of the quieter gems on the North Shore — a small town with a deep history, a strong concentration of antique homes, and properties that sit along the Essex River and the marshes that define this stretch of coastline. Albion Contracting has been working on homes throughout the area since 1997.

From the antique Capes and colonials along Main Street to the larger properties set back from the water, Essex homes require a contractor who understands old-growth wood, original materials, and the specific demands of a coastal and marsh environment. Salt air, moisture, and temperature swings test every paint job here.

We are not a franchise or a regional chain. When you hire Albion Contracting, you work directly with Greg — the owner — on every job from first walkthrough to final cleanup.
