Seven Pines Home Improvement
Kitchen, bath, siding, painting, flooring and general contracting for Holliston homes. Registered HIC #205267, a 3-year workmanship warranty, and free estimates.
Working in Holliston
HIC #205267 is the registration Seven Pines Home Improvement carries as a registered home improvement contractor in Massachusetts. The work covers Holliston homeowners specifically: kitchen remodeling, deck building, bathroom remodeling, siding, and general contracting across Middlesex County.
Walk Washington Street or into the Thomas Hollis Historic District and the age of the housing stock is immediately obvious. More than 40 percent of Holliston's homes went up between the 1940s and 1960s, which means original kitchens, single bathrooms, and exterior cladding that has absorbed decades of New England freeze-thaw cycles.
A 3-year workmanship warranty backs every scope of work we take on, and a dedicated project manager runs each job from the first estimate through the final walkthrough. Estimates are free.
Our Services
Holliston's housing stock runs heavily toward Cape Cods, ranches, and Colonial Revivals, homes with original kitchens, single bathrooms, and exteriors that have taken four decades of New England freeze-thaw cycles. Seven Pines Home Improvement works across all of the trades needed to bring those homes current, coordinated under one roof with a written estimate before anything starts.
That 1940s-to-1960s construction window is behind a lot of what Holliston homeowners are dealing with: original kitchens, single bathrooms, aging exteriors, and systems that predate modern code. Properties in the Thomas Hollis Historic District carry an additional layer, Historical Commission review for exterior changes before permits are issued. Knowing what a house actually has before work begins is how a project stays on track.
Trades and project stages run through a single team at Seven Pines. Licensed professionals, a written plan, and one point of contact before construction starts: that is how renovation and improvement work gets coordinated for Holliston homeowners.
01 / Home Improvement
Seven Pines handles full kitchen remodeling in Holliston, covering layout changes, cabinet installation, countertop replacement, and finishing work. The service is built for owners of Cape Cods, ranches, and Colonial Revivals whose kitchens reflect original mid-century construction. If your Holliston home was built between the 1940s and 1960s, this is the work we do.
Holliston's housing stock runs heavily toward Cape Cods, ranches, and Colonial Revivals, homes with original kitchens, single bathrooms, and exteriors that have taken four decades of New England freeze-thaw cycles. Seven Pines handles full kitchen remodeling in Holliston, from layout reconfiguration through cabinet installation, countertop replacement, and finishing, scoped to what the home actually has.
Kitchen remodeling in Holliston requires building, plumbing, and electrical permits through the Building Department at 703 Washington Street. Seven Pines identifies which permits apply to your project, prepares the required documentation, and works within the Building Department's review process so nothing is left to the homeowner to sort out.
02 / Home Improvement
Seven Pines builds new decks, repairs existing ones, and installs composite and cedar decking and railing systems for homeowners in Holliston, Massachusetts. The work covers everything from permit filing with the Holliston Building Department to final inspection. If you own a house in Holliston and want a deck built or fixed, this is the section for you.
A Holliston deck permit comes out of the Building Department at 703 Washington Street, and the exterior season it has to fit into is short. Seven Pines schedules around both and builds to the Massachusetts frost line at 48 inches: deck construction in Holliston, repair work on decks that have loosened at the rail, composite and cedar decking and railing systems.
Deck footings in Holliston go down to 48 inches, the Massachusetts frost depth, so the structure does not shift through freeze and thaw cycles. Seven Pines sets this depth on every new deck, coordinates the Building Department inspection at 703 Washington Street, and schedules digs around the short exterior season.
03 / Home Improvement
Vinyl siding installation, cedar shake, fiber cement, exterior trim replacement, and storm damage repair for homes in Holliston, Massachusetts. Seven Pines serves homeowners across town, from mid-century ranches and capes built in the 1950s and 1960s to older colonials that predate modern materials. If your house sits near Washington Street, historic district considerations are part of the conversation from the start.
Along Washington Street and inside the Thomas Hollis Historic District, what goes on the outside of a Holliston house is reviewed before it goes up. Seven Pines works to that standard: siding installation in Holliston in vinyl, cedar shake or fiber cement, exterior trim replacement, and repair after storm damage.
Siding work in Holliston goes through the Building Department at 703 Washington Street. Seven Pines handles the permit paperwork, accounts for any Historical Commission review that applies to the property, and schedules inspections so the project moves without gaps between trades.
04 / Home Improvement
Seven Pines handles roof replacement, storm damage repair, ice dam prevention, and flashing repair for homeowners in Holliston, Massachusetts. The work covers the full range of residential roofing, from aging mid-century capes and ranches to older colonials near the Washington Street corridor. Permits are pulled through the Holliston Building Department before any work begins.
Along Washington Street and inside the Thomas Hollis Historic District, what goes on a Holliston roof is reviewed before it goes on. Seven Pines works to that standard and to a short exterior season: roof replacement, storm damage repair and ice dam prevention in Holliston, permitted through the Building Department at 703 Washington Street.
Every roofing project in Holliston is permitted through the Building Department at 703 Washington Street before work starts. For properties inside the Thomas Hollis or East Holliston historic districts, the permit application reflects the applicable review step so the job moves through inspections without a stop.
05 / Home Improvement
Full bathroom renovations, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity replacement: Seven Pines helps Holliston homeowners get more function and better finishes out of the space they already have.
Most Holliston homes from the 1950s and 1960s were built with one full bath upstairs, minimal square footage, dated tile, and little storage. Seven Pines handles bathroom remodeling from complete master bath renovations to targeted improvements that add function, comfort, and a finish that holds up.
Demo, plumbing, tile, carpentry, and finishing work all run under one project manager rather than being divided between independent contractors working on separate schedules.
06 / General Contracting
Jobs in Holliston that involve more than one trade, or that spread across multiple areas of the home, get coordinated under a single general contracting plan at Seven Pines.
Not every project fits a single category. Seven Pines operates as a full general contractor in Holliston, handling projects that require multiple scopes of work to come together under one plan.
Basement remodeling, attic conversions, additions, drywall, finish carpentry, painting, and related carpentry work come together as one larger home improvement scope, with a single point of contact from start to finish.
Holliston's mid-century housing stock often means a remodel touches electrical, framing, and finishes all at once once walls open up. Running that work under one contractor keeps the scope, the schedule, and the finishing details organized from beginning to end.
07 / Home Improvement
Interior and exterior painting, surface preparation, primer work, trim painting, and color consultation for homeowners in Holliston, Massachusetts. Seven Pines handles residential repaints and new construction across a housing stock that runs from pre-1939 antique colonials to mid-century capes and ranches, where surface condition varies considerably from house to house.
Painting in Holliston means working on a housing stock that skews heavily toward mid-century construction, with roughly 42 percent of homes built between the 1940s and 1960s and another 17 percent predating 1939. Cape Cods, ranches, and antique colonials each present different surface conditions, and lead-paint protocols apply to any pre-1978 structure. Interior and exterior paint projects generally do not require a building permit, but any work touching a structure in the Thomas Hollis or East Holliston historic districts should be confirmed with the Holliston Building Department at 703 Washington Street before starting. Cold winters, freeze-thaw cycling, and 45 to 55 inches of annual precipitation push exterior coatings hard, so surface preparation and primer adhesion matter more in Holliston than the finish coat itself. Seven Pines works interior and exterior, residential repaint and new construction.
On most Holliston exteriors, Seven Pines spends more time on prep than on the finish coat itself. That means scraping, sanding, spot priming, and addressing any adhesion failures before paint goes on. Pre-1978 homes follow lead-paint protocols throughout.
08 / Home Improvement
Cabinet refacing, new door and drawer fronts, veneer application, hardware replacement, and soft-close hinge installation for homeowners in Holliston, Massachusetts. Seven Pines works with existing cabinet boxes that are structurally sound, updating the visible surfaces without a full kitchen gut. The service suits the capes and ranches that make up the bulk of Holliston's housing stock.
Cabinet refacing in Holliston draws on the same mid-century bones that define so much of the town, where capes and ranches built for a growing postwar middle class are now decades into their lifespan and often show it first in the kitchen. Original cabinet boxes from that era are frequently solid enough to keep; refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and visible surfaces without gutting the room. Because refacing is a finish trade rather than structural work, it typically falls outside the permit categories the Holliston Building Department administers at 703 Washington Street, but Seven Pines confirms scope with homeowners before any project starts. Whether the house sits near the Washington Street corridor of the Thomas Hollis Historic District or out toward East Holliston, the goal is the same: updated cabinetry that fits how the kitchen actually gets used.
Before work begins, Seven Pines walks through the project with the homeowner to confirm what the cabinet boxes can support, which surfaces will be replaced, and what falls outside the job. That conversation happens before scheduling, not after materials arrive.
09 / Home Improvement
Hardwood floor sanding, refinishing, stain matching, and new hardwood installation for homeowners in Holliston, Massachusetts. Seven Pines works on original floors in capes, ranches, and colonials throughout town, including older homes where the wood has been in place for generations and needs careful preparation before any finish goes down.
Floor refinishing in Holliston starts beneath your feet and works outward from there. The town's housing runs heavily toward capes, ranches, and colonials, and the oldest share of that stock, the nearly 18 percent built before 1939, often holds original hardwood floors that have survived generations of New England winters and the kind of humid summers that cause wood to move. Seven Pines sands, stains, and refinishes those floors, and installs new hardwood where replacement makes more sense than restoration. Work in neighborhoods like Braggville or East Holliston sometimes puts a project near one of the town's two National Register districts, though floor refinishing does not typically trigger a Holliston Building Department permit the way structural work does. Confirm with the department at 703 Washington Street if your project scope is anything beyond standard refinishing.
Seven Pines uses contained sanding equipment that captures the bulk of fine dust at the drum and edger rather than letting it settle through the house. That matters in occupied homes and in older Holliston houses where dust can work into gaps between boards or into adjacent rooms during a multi-day project.
Planning Your Project
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the project. Seven Pines helps identify what is required before construction begins and coordinates the permitting process with the Holliston Building Department when the work calls for it.
The Holliston Building Department at 703 Washington Street administers the Massachusetts State Building Code and issues building, plumbing, gas, electrical, and sheet metal permits. Projects involving structural changes, additions, kitchen or bathroom remodeling, deck construction, and siding replacement generally require review and permitting before work begins.
Not every home improvement project requires a building permit. Certain finish work and smaller residential improvements are specifically listed as exempt under the State Building Code.
We manage the permit process on your behalf with the Holliston Building Department. If the scope of your project falls into an area where permitting requirements need to be confirmed, we will identify that during project planning so you know what is needed and how long approval is expected to take before work begins.

From Estimate to Completion
One named project manager carries a Holliston job from the first estimate through the final walkthrough. That person knows the specific work being done and is the single contact for every question along the way.
Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals built between the 1940s and 1960s are common in Holliston, and they rarely behave like a new build once work begins. Seven Pines runs a structured process on every job so homeowners know what is happening, who is responsible, and what comes next before a single wall opens.
That structure holds across the full range of work: kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, new decks, siding replacements, and larger general contracting scopes that touch multiple parts of the house.
The project manager assigned to your job is reachable by phone or text throughout, not a general office line that routes calls to whoever picks up or a rotating crew with no single point of accountability.
Before work begins, you receive a written estimate covering the scope, the materials, and what is and is not included. For Holliston's mid-century homes, that estimate also accounts for conditions found during the pre-construction assessment, so that older wiring, plaster walls, or settled framing are in the scope from the start rather than showing up as surprises once the walls are open.
The Holliston Building Department at 703 Washington Street administers the State Building Code and issues building, plumbing, gas, electrical, and sheet metal permits. Your project manager handles that process on your behalf, identifies which permits apply to the job, and tracks approval so work can proceed on schedule without you managing the paperwork.
Trades are sequenced, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, finish carpentry, so each crew is on site when the work is actually ready for them. When something changes, you hear it directly from the project manager, not through a chain of messages passed between subcontractors. A 3-year workmanship warranty backs the completed work on every job.
Clear scope. One project manager. Work backed after completion.
Project Costs
Holliston work runs from century homes near the Thomas Hollis district to postwar stock on the edges, and the spread in the ranges below is mostly that difference.
| Service | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodeling | $30,000 to $100,000 | Cabinet tier, counter material, whether the layout moves, and what the walls hide |
| Bathroom remodeling | $18,000 to $40,000 | Tile area, whether the tub comes out for a shower, and the state of the subfloor |
| Deck building | $20,000 to $85,000 | Square footage, composite against cedar, height above grade, and railing style |
| Siding | $15,000 to $55,000 | Material, linear footage, trim scope, and what the old siding is hiding |
| Interior painting | $6,000 to $20,000 | Number of rooms, ceiling height, and how much repair the walls need before primer |
| Roof replacement | $12,000 to $28,000 | Roof area and pitch, the number of planes and valleys, tear-off of the existing layers, and how much decking turns out to be soft once the roof is open. |
Ranges confirmed by the owners in October 2026 for the MetroWest and Greater Boston market. They are not a quote. Every project is priced after an on-site assessment, and the written scope is what the price attaches to.
Helpful Information
Answers to common questions about remodeling older Holliston homes, permits, licensing, historic districts, and the workmanship warranty Seven Pines provides on every project.
Roughly 42% of Holliston's housing stock dates from the 1940s through the 1960s, and homes from that era commonly predate modern electrical, plumbing, and insulation codes. We assess each system before work begins so that hidden conditions, outdated wiring, undersized panels, or settled framing, are identified in the estimate rather than discovered mid-project.
The Holliston Building Department at 703 Washington Street administers the State Building Code and issues building, plumbing, gas, electrical, and sheet metal permits. We manage the permit process on your behalf, and staff will advise on which permits apply and approximately how long approval will take, since turnaround varies by project type and scope.
Massachusetts registers home improvement contractors at the state level. We hold MA HIC 205267, which you can verify at the state's public registration lookup. Registration is issued statewide, so the same credential covers work we perform in Holliston, Shrewsbury, and every other town in our service area.
Properties within the Thomas Hollis Historic District or the East Holliston Historic District sit inside National Register areas along Washington Street. We identify whether a project falls within these boundaries during scoping, since demolition of a significant structure triggers review under Holliston's Demolition Delay By-law before the Building Department issues a permit.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 3-year warranty. If an issue is caused by our work, we'll return promptly to inspect it and make it right at no additional cost during the warranty period. The warranty applies to every project we complete in Holliston and across our full service area.
