Brookline, Massachusetts is one of the most distinctive communities in the entire Greater Boston area — a town that has fiercely maintained its independence from the city it surrounds since a landmark 1873 vote, and has never stopped making that choice look correct. Home to approximately 63,000 residents across a dense, walkable landscape packed with pre-war architecture, landmark green spaces, and some of the most sought-after public schools in the Commonwealth, Brookline occupies a unique position: fully urban in character and access, yet governed as an independent Norfolk County town with a civic identity all its own. Its neighborhoods — from the vibrant pedestrian energy of Coolidge Corner and the elegance of Chestnut Hill to the tree-lined residential streets of South Brookline and the historic character of Brookline Village — each present distinct architectural conditions and construction requirements. The town’s housing stock, in which over half of all properties predate 1940, requires contractors who understand the materials, methods, and complications of older New England construction. Our licensed and fully insured team brings exactly that background to every Brookline project we take on.

Metal & Shingle Roofing
Reliable Roofing Solutions for Brookline Properties
Brookline’s older housing stock — much of it built before modern roofing materials existed — presents specific challenges that general contractors without local experience can easily underestimate. Pre-war multi-family buildings, Victorian single-family homes, and early 20th-century condominiums each have their own structural considerations, and all of them must contend with the same unforgiving Massachusetts weather: ice dams forming along aging eaves, nor’easters driving water horizontally into vulnerable flashing, and the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle that works against any weak point in a roof system year after year.

Decking & Porch

Testimonials
Brookline Homeowner Testimonials
"Our Victorian in South Brookline needed a complete roof overhaul — a job made more complicated by the age of the structure and some previous patchwork repairs that had created hidden problems. Passos Construction assessed it thoroughly before giving us a quote, laid out every issue clearly, and executed the replacement without a single surprise. They understood how to work on an older home without causing collateral damage, and the finished roof has given us complete peace of mind through two full winters. We'd recommend them without reservation."
Thomas and Eleanor Brennan

"We hired Passos Construction to renovate the kitchen and one bathroom in our Coolidge Corner condo and replace the windows on the rear facade. The scope was significant and the space wasn't easy to work in — but their crew managed everything efficiently and kept us updated every step of the way. They pulled the right permits without delay, finished within the timeline they gave us, and the quality of the work has drawn compliments from every visitor since. Exactly what we hoped for."
Rachel and David Cohen
Brookline, MA
"We wanted to add a proper rear deck to our Brookline Village home — something that suited the character of the property rather than looking like an afterthought. Passos Construction came up with a design that fit perfectly with the existing structure, used materials that will age well, and built it with care. The crew was considerate of our neighbors throughout, kept the site clean daily, and delivered a finished product that exceeded our expectations. It's already become the most-used space in the house."
