Featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 2 Large living room areas, HAM radio room & new staircase, dropped ceiling & plenty of storage space.

We are currently working on Pleasant st. In Whitman on a Kitchen room remodel. We have torn the 28 x 14 floor up down to the existing joists & pretty much leveled the floor from a 5" deficit using the existing early 1800's structural bone mass as a structural casing that has bended & bowed from 1 season to another. Adding all the necessary elements that our ancestors missed out on, which is quite evitible but understanding due to the massive 12x8 beams & 4x4 posts, 2ft o.c. but they are on a feildstone foundation, available to insects & rot due due to the beam being inside the the foundation wall. The siding or trim sits on it & soaks the water in if not flashed properly. Now a days the walls hang out past your foundation for shedding water.

Hi Folks, Dec 30 2011, Happy holidays everyone. It has been a couple of busy months, We are finished in Duxbury and have been asked to come back in the spring to work on the front of the house. Basically we built a 1500 sq.ft. deck with 5/4 by 6 inch mahogany for decking, composite trims and stainless steel cable railing system. 4-8ft. anderson gliders, 8 anderson storm doors. 10 anderson windows, red cedar roofing and maibec nantucket A grade white cedars. This was quite a job. Next we went to Yarmouth ave in Brockton to tear down a 7x12 porch entry and built a 16x12 addition, which included 4 big foots and 6x6 carrying beam, 8 pella windows, 2 anderson storms with separate pressure treated stair entrys, 1 for access to the backyard and 1 from the driveway. The addition is maintenace free on the outside, boasting Azek trims and vinyl siding with lattice surround to keep out those pesky critters. we also went to Whitman on Washington st. to install a couple of hopper windows and basement window wells due to the water that was coming of the roof and running into the basement through the existing basement windows, which may have been done in 1853! yup, 1853 they looked it too. It looks like we will be going back here in the near future for some projects. We are going to Middleboro, Dons st. to do a 12x5 pantry by using some unused space in the building plan. It will be a nice addition to my photo gallery. Remember folks, we are at it all year round, inside or outside, in the attic or in the basement and every place through out you home. You can feel confident with Sterite construction on your side. Thanks and hope to hear from you. John Sterite

Afternoon Folks, Oct 6, 2011. The roof is done on Pond st. We ran into some gutter issues, and poor ventilation. The roof was a lay over on a roof that was in really bad shape to begin with and had no paper or ice & water, improper flashing, the roof was applied and all the joints were tarred & rot repair from those issues. As far as gutters go, I like to allow 3/4 inch per 8ft. for pitch, sometimes you need to evaluate in the field + or -. We are back in Duxbury and will have some great photos, soon.  Feel free to comment.

Good morning, Sept 8 2011. We are waiting for the rain to break to start a roof & do some siding in Bridgewater on Pond st.

Hi Everybody, Friday. Nov.6,09. Wow, where has the time gone? We are 2 full moons away from winter. The Marshfeild job is coming along quite nice, We finally got the permit last week ( 1 month ) digging is going to be tough. Code for the Marshfeild area requires a "big foot" under the sona-tubes for the decks because of the new code for 110 mile per hr. zones along with a new prescriptive residential deck construction guide. I know it sounds pretty intimidating, just the rules.

We will be working on weekends as well in the next couple of weeks in Plymouth on Deidre lane. Other jobs we are looking at are in Duxbury for a kitchen remodel, siding in Hingham for a contractor and also a roof in Pembroke.
