Coverage
Where Allied works
32 cities and towns across Suffolk, Middlesex, Essex and Norfolk — from Salem down to Weymouth. No job is too big or too small.
Suffolk County
Suffolk County is the densest building stock in New England and the hardest to work in. Most of it is attached — brick and masonry party walls, triple-deckers a few feet apart, commercial blocks that share structure with the unit next door — so almost every job is a selective one whether or not it is described that way. Add streets laid out before trucks, buildings routinely over a century old, and the near-certainty of asbestos in anything untouched since the 1970s, and the constraint is rarely the demolition itself. It is access, protection of what stays, and the paperwork in front of the start date.

Middlesex County
Middlesex County holds the widest range of work in the region. Cambridge and Somerville bring lab, institutional and converted industrial buildings where the demolition is precise, heavily coordinated and usually happening around people still working in the building. Further out through Medford, Malden and the Route 128 towns the stock shifts to postwar commercial frontage and residential lots, where a machine can often reach and the job runs more conventionally. The two ends of the county want genuinely different methods.

Essex County
Essex County is old housing stock and old industry. The North Shore carries a great deal of pre-war wood-frame housing — the kind where siding, pipe insulation and floor tile all need testing before anything is disturbed — alongside former mill and manufacturing buildings now being repositioned. Coastal exposure has been working on the fabric of a lot of it for a century, which tends to mean more of a building is failing than the owner first thought.
Also covered in Essex County: Peabody.
Norfolk County
Norfolk County is mostly what got built after the war and what is now being replaced. Quincy, Braintree and Weymouth carry commercial corridors turning over and residential lots where a modest house is coming down for something larger, and there is usually room for equipment in a way there is not inside the city. Brookline and Milton are the exception — older, denser, closer-set and far more likely to trigger a historical review before anything comes down.
