Clinton, MA
Clinton grew around the Bigelow carpet and Lancaster mills on the Nashua River, and the town still feels like the compact mill community it was built to be. Close-set two-families, worker housing, and Victorian homes line the streets around Central Park and downtown High Street, with the Wachusett Dam and reservoir at the edge of town. Delane Construction works in Clinton on remodels, additions, porches, roofing, siding, and repairs.
General Contractor for Clinton homeowners
Dense neighborhoods and older homes make Clinton projects a little different from those in rural towns. Lots are smaller, neighbors are close, and staging, parking, and debris removal all need planning. With more than 27 years of experience, Lauderly Lima runs these projects as a general contractor, coordinating every trade so the job stays organized.

Local know-how
Much of Clinton's housing went up in the late 1800s and early 1900s to house mill workers and their families. These homes often have balloon framing, narrow stairways, porches stacked on the front and back, and small kitchens and baths. Opening up a floor plan or adding a bathroom usually means working carefully with the existing structure and planning around old plumbing and wiring.
Small lots also limit how and where you can add on. Setbacks from property lines can rule out a side addition, which makes dormers, rear additions, and finishing an attic more common solutions here. Older homes typically need lead-safe work practices whenever painted surfaces are disturbed, and we plan for that from the start.
Permits go through the Town of Clinton building department. Damp air near the river and reservoir, combined with Central Massachusetts freeze and thaw, is hard on porches and exterior trim, so rot repair is often part of the scope.
Why Delane in Clinton
Clinton is a manageable drive from our Leominster base, roughly a dozen miles to the southeast, which keeps site visits and check-ins easy to schedule. We understand the logistics of dense neighborhoods, including keeping driveways and sidewalks clear and coordinating deliveries on narrow streets.
Mill-town homes usually need several trades at once. Having one contractor handle porches, siding, windows, interior remodeling, and finish carpentry means the project stays coordinated and you have one point of contact.
“The crew was responsive, punctual and meticulous. The finished porch and walkway came out so well that neighbors stopped to admire it.”
