🛑 Stop Settling for a Home That Doesn't Fit. 🛑

Is your "dream deck" still just a pile of blueprints? Is a dated bathroom making your mornings feel cramped? Or maybe your garage is overflowing because you lack the right storage. You deserve a home that works for you, but finding a contractor who actually listens—and shows up—can feel like a second job.

Welcome to the Garber Difference

At Garber’s Home Improvement, we aren't interested in being the biggest construction outfit in Massachusetts—we just want to be the one you’re glad you called. We know that a home improvement project is a big deal, whether it’s a small storage solution or a tile refresh in the bathroom. That’s why we keep things simple: honest communication, fair pricing, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself.

Designed for Your Life, Not a Catalog

Generic kits and "one-size-fits-all" floor plans don't work in Boston's unique homes. Whether it’s a shed tucked into a tight corner or a deck that wraps around your favorite oak tree, we build to fit your specific footprint and lifestyle.

Direct-to-Builder Communication

Forget the middleman and the confusing sales office. When you have a question about your bathroom tile or your deck railings, you talk directly to the people doing the work. We’re a small team, which means your project never gets lost in the shuffle.

Built for New England Reality

From ice dams to humid summers, we choose materials and construction methods specifically tested for our local climate. We build things once, so you can enjoy them for a lifetime.

“Paul did an amazing job building our shed exactly as we imagined it. He worked through sub 20 degree temperatures, explained everything I asked him about, and came up with a few improvements on his own that fit well with our space. He has very careful attention to detail and the final product looks great and functions perfectly. As a result of how well the shed went we are hiring him for other jobs in the house.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials do you use for construction?
We use top-notch materials that are durable and long-lasting to ensure the quality of our constructions.

Do you offer custom design services?
Yes, we offer custom design services to create a space that fits your needs and style preferences perfectly.

How long does a typical project take to complete?
The duration of a project varies depending on the scope and complexity, but we work efficiently to complete projects in a timely manner.

Will there be a giant mess in my yard or house during construction?

We treat your home like our own. We use "dust-conscious" remodeling techniques for bathrooms and keep a tidy "footprint" for outdoor builds. We clean up the site at the end of every single workday—not just at the end of the job.

How far do you travel for projects?

We’re proud to be a Medford-based company. We primarily serve Medford, Somerville, Arlington, and the surrounding North Shore/Greater Boston areas. Staying local allows us to be on-site quickly and give every project the personal attention it deserves.

Do I need to get my own permits for a new deck or shed?

Not at all. Part of the "Garber’s Standard" is taking the paperwork off your plate. We understand the local building codes in the Medford area and will handle the permitting process from start to finish so you know your project is 100% legal and up to code.

Can you build a shed that matches the style of my house?

Absolutely. We aren't fans of those "plastic box" sheds. We specialize in handcrafted wooden structures. We can match your home’s siding, roof pitch, and trim colors so your new shed looks like a natural extension of your property, not an afterthought.

What happens if the cost of materials changes?

Transparency is big for us. Our estimates are "fixed-price" based on the current market. If there’s a major shift in the scope of work or material costs, we discuss it with you before the work happens. No surprise invoices, no "hidden" fees.
