This Marlborough Street Roof Deck project showcases Abacus Builders’ expertise in taking over and successfully completing complex projects. Originally started by another general contractor, the project stalled when the contractor failed to meet critical milestones. The homeowner, after conducting research and finding Abacus Builders’ excellent online reviews, reached out to us for help. We assured the client that taking over incomplete projects is a challenge we’re experienced with, and we were happy to step in.

Our team quickly assessed the work done by the previous contractor, identified the gaps, and prepared a detailed scope of work to move the project forward. After securing a new agreement, we transferred the permits with ISD’s approval and began work.

Scope of Work

Correcting Structural Issues:

Reframed the headhouse, which had been improperly constructed by the previous contractor.

Ordered and installed a new custom door to ensure proper functionality and aesthetics.

Exterior Finishes:

Made the structure weather-tight before installing copper standing seam walls, expertly fabricated and installed by one of our trusted subcontractors.

Ensured high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail for a durable and visually appealing finish.

Decking and Handrails:

Installed the decking with precision and efficiency.

Added sturdy and stylish handrails, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.

Interior Finishes:

Completed all interior finishes with care, ensuring they complemented the overall design and functionality of the deck.

Logistical Challenges:

Coordinated crane logistics on the narrow Marlborough Street, a task requiring expertise and experience, which we have handled successfully numerous times in Boston.

Final Steps:

Prepared the project for a rough inspection, ensuring all work met Boston’s building codes and the client’s expectations.

Why This Project Stands Out

The Marlborough Street Roof Deck was a prime example of Abacus Builders’ ability to tackle challenging and incomplete projects. By addressing structural issues, managing tricky logistics, and ensuring high-quality finishes, we delivered a roof deck that exceeded the client’s expectations.
