What C.B.E. builds

Four trades, one crew, one job site

C.B.E. Construction has covered remodeling, roofing and siding, doors and windows, and new construction out of White Heath since July 1998. The same crew handles all four, which is the part most homeowners do not expect. An addition does not need a roofer scheduled separately from a window company and an electrician; it needs one crew that already knows how the roofline, the siding and the wiring on the rest of the house go together, because they are the ones who will be tying the new work into it.

Every one of the four lines below gets a free estimate. Blair Brown, who has owned C.B.E. with his wife Lorie since 1998 and has been in the trade since 1987, writes them himself, in person, off the actual job rather than a phone description of it. Pick a line to see how the work is actually done, in what order, and what each one is backed by.
