River Village Carpenters is a builder of high quality custom homes, utilizing both traditional and modular building systems. Our services include additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and renovations to your newer or architecturally sensitive older home. For professional and commercial customers, we provide build-out services for office and retail environments. We service the Massachusetts North Shore and the Seacoast New Hampshire areas. We believe that a Custom Builder should provide professional-level services, not just products.
We began our company in 1978 on River Road in Merrimac, MA. The inspiration for our name came from 19th century maps and documents, which revealed that the neighborhood was once known as River Village. Historically, the village was an important center of the local carriage making industry. Workshops clustered around the busy main pier, as the river was the link that allowed trade with distant markets. In time, trains and motor vehicles replaced carriages and riverboats, and the industrial flavor of the neighborhood disappeared.
One of the more exciting projects that will enhance the style, comfort, livability, and value of a home is a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project. We will work with you to bring your ideas and visions to their full potential. Depending on the scope of your project, you will receive the benefits of up-to-date lighting, appliances, plumbing fixtures, insulation, heating upgrades, windows and doors.
River Village Carpenters builds high quality homes using traditional "stick", modular or hybrid construction systems. The best approach often depends on the home design and site conditions, as well as other variables specific to your project. RVC will help you determine the appropriate construction method by drawing from the experience earned building over forty-five custom homes. Regardless of the approach, our goal is to build a home of lasting quality and value, and to assure that your homebuilding project is a positive experience.
