Albion Contracting

Albion Contracting is a Newburyport company that Greg Patterson, a former professor, has run since 1997, personally supervising every project himself. He and a small crew — Travis, Bernardo, Tom, Manny and others recur across reviews — handle painting, remodeling, carpentry, and kitchen and bathroom work, with a certified Lead Safe Renovator credential that matters given how much of the work is on old houses. The jobs described here keep landing on houses most crews avoid: an 1800s home's original siding, a 1712 colonial's exterior, a 1680 home's centuries-old shiplap boards, and a 250-year-old church ceiling restoration where Greg refused to cut corners on historical accuracy. Reviewers also describe more everyday work done just as carefully — stripping wallpaper and skim-coating walls before painting, replacing exterior wood with years of water damage, and repairing an exterior wall's water damage that had been causing leaky windows and frozen pipes. One client's review describes using Albion for more than 25 years across a house, a four-unit condo, and another home. Worth knowing going in: Greg brings in skilled subcontractors alongside his core crew for larger jobs, so ask upfront who specifically will be on-site for a bigger renovation. For a historic home restoration, a tricky exterior repaint, or a full remodel that needs real carpentry alongside painting, this is a strong call in the Newburyport area — Greg personally oversees every job, so start the conversation with him directly about scope and timeline.
