Greater Boston homeowners and property owners face a crowded field of specialists who handle one trade and subcontract the rest.

Are you a licensed general contractor in Boston?
Yes. Schlickmann Construction holds Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License CSL-121587 and carries full liability and workers' compensation insurance. We pull permits and coordinate inspections for residential and commercial work throughout Greater Boston.
What is design-build, and why does it matter?
Design-build means one team owns both the design and the construction, so there's no finger-pointing between an architect and a separate builder. You get a single contract, a realistic budget locked early, and faster timelines — especially valuable on Boston projects with tight lots and strict permitting.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. Our residential divisions cover remodeling, additions, masonry, and carpentry, while our commercial team handles office, retail, restaurant, and medical fit-outs. The same licensed leadership oversees every project.
How much does a renovation cost in Greater Boston?
It depends on scope and finish level, but Boston-area renovations typically run higher than the national average due to labor, permitting, and older housing stock. We provide a detailed fixed-price proposal after a free on-site consultation — no vague allowances.
Which Boston-area communities do you serve?
We serve Boston and the surrounding Greater Boston and Middlesex County communities from our Stoneham headquarters — including the towns listed above — plus Southern New Hampshire.
