Established in 1992 and headquartered in Arlington, Massachusetts, Homer Contracting Inc. has emerged as one of New England’s premier contractors. Initially a painting contractor, the company has significantly evolved over the years, now functioning as a full-service general contractor. Their extensive experience in finishing buildings distinguishes them, providing superior quality and meticulous attention to detail in all their projects.
Homer Contracting specializes in a diverse range of complex projects across several sectors, including academic, commercial, residential, federal, state, and historic restoration markets. The company's success is underpinned by its three essential principles: stability, self-performance, and a strong company culture.
The firm emphasizes careful and sustainable growth, which has been fundamental to its survival and success over the past three decades. By maintaining an open and honest dialogue with clients about the specific challenges of each project, they ensure a high standard of work while fostering lasting relationships.
Culturally, Homer Contracting is noted for its collaborative, family-owned environment. The strong rapport among project managers, supervisors, and field personnel—many of whom have worked together for five to twenty-five years—encourages open communication with clients, architects, and subcontractors. This collaborative culture allows for efficient problem solving and better project management, contributing to their reputation for reliability and quality.
Furthermore, unlike many of their competitors, Homer Contracting has the capability to self-perform in five key trades: painting, carpentry, masonry, waterproofing, and general labor. This self-performance capability not only leads to more accurate estimates but also enables on-site solutions to the unforeseen challenges that often arise in construction projects. As a result, clients can expect a high level of quality in every aspect of their work, be it self-performed or subcontracted.
