S+H Construction

S+H Construction is a Boston-area residential general contractor established in 1978 by Alex Slive and Doug Hanna. The company says it is based in Belmont and is now led by Chair and Owner Sarah Lawson, who purchased the firm in 2016. Its work centers on custom homes, renovations, additions, historic restorations, kitchens and baths, basement waterproofing, sitework, and landscaping across Greater Boston. The company’s published track record includes complex residential renovation and construction work, including an energy-efficient Somerville home and the rehabilitation of an old Colonial after a fire. A 2013 report says S+H received two Northeast Regional Contractor of the Year awards from NARI, while Boston Magazine has recognized the firm for high-end remodeling. Those sources describe a long-running Greater Boston practice rather than a newly established operation. People quoted in the company’s materials describe careful workmanship, professionalism, detail orientation, and dependable follow-through. One Newton architect/client praised the quality of the work and workers, while Cambridge homeowners said S+H did what it promised and that they would trust the company with their home. These are positive self-published testimonials, so prospective clients should still ask for current references and project-specific examples. S+H looks suited to homeowners planning substantial renovations, custom construction, historic work, or coordinated exterior and basement improvements. Before booking, confirm the team, scope, schedule, budget process, and whether the requested project fits the company’s stated Greater Boston service area.
