One statewide building code. Massachusetts uses a single building code for every town: 780 CMR, now in its tenth edition. Your local building department enforces it and issues the permits. source

Dig Safe before digging. State law requires notice to Dig Safe at least 72 hours before digging, not counting weekends and legal holidays. That includes holes for deck footings. Call 811. source

What to know before you start in Revere.

  1. 01

    Revere grew out from Broadway and the beach once the railroads arrived in the late 1800s, and much of its housing predates 1940. That means casings, stair parts and porch trim no store carries anymore. We piece together matching profiles so a repair doesn't stand out.

  2. 02

    As of the city's 2020 master plan, Revere had no local historic district ordinance, so trim and porch changes don't go to a design board. Anything structural still needs a building permit, filed online, with the crew working inside the Monday-to-Saturday hours.

Carpentry & Built-Ins questions from Revere

Not under a local ordinance as of the 2020 master plan, which found neither a local historic district nor a demolition delay ordinance. National Register listings like Revere Beach Boulevard are recognition, not regulation.
