ADU Construction
Services
ADUs are one of the smartest investments Norwood homeowners can make. Norwood's residential neighborhoods feature primarily post-war construction — 1950s through 1970s colonials, split-levels, and ranches that are now prime candidates for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, insulation upgrades, and exterior renovation. The town also has significant multi-family properties generating demand for painting, drywall, and flooring. Under Massachusetts ADU law, most single-family properties in Norfolk County can now add an ADU by-right. Boston Smart Plastering handles the full build — design, permitting, construction, and Certificate of Occupancy. Norwood is 14 miles southwest of Boston off Route 1 and I-95, centrally located in our Norfolk County service area.
