Building in Braintree
Local know-how for Braintree homes
Braintree is a mostly inland Norfolk County town between Quincy and Weymouth, with East Braintree reaching the Fore River and Great Pond and Sunset Lake in the south. Neighborhoods such as South Braintree, East Braintree and Braintree Highlands are filled with post-war capes, ranches, split levels and colonials, many on modest suburban lots. That housing stock keeps PLJ busy with deck replacements, vinyl and fiber cement siding upgrades and full roof replacements on homes whose original materials are worn out. Braintree sees less salt than the coast, but winter freeze and thaw cycles are hard on deck footings, ledger connections and older roofs, especially where ice dams form at the eaves. Upgrading to composite decking, adding ice and water barrier and improving attic ventilation are common parts of our work here. PLJ serves Braintree from our South Shore office in Cohasset.

FAQ
Braintree FAQ
Can PLJ replace an old deck on a Braintree split level?
Yes. Split level decks are often high off the ground, so we check the ledger connection, posts and footings carefully, then rebuild with new framing, decking, railings and stairs built to current code.
How do I stop ice dams on my Braintree roof?
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the eaves. A roof replacement is a good time to add ice and water barrier along the eaves and valleys and improve attic ventilation. Insulation and air sealing also help.
Is vinyl siding a good choice for a Braintree home?
Vinyl is a practical, low maintenance option for many Braintree capes and ranches. Fiber cement costs more but looks closer to painted wood and resists impact. PLJ installs both and replaces any damaged sheathing underneath.
