About Us

Genesis Construction & Development is a builder-led general contractor serving Essex and Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts. We specialize in custom homes, large-scale renovations, and residential development. Our integrated approach delivers clarity, control, and long-term value from the first sketch to the final inspection.

Our Story

Genesis was founded to solve a problem: the disconnect between beautiful design and buildable reality. Too often, homeowners were left navigating misaligned teams, budget surprises, and construction delays. We knew there was a better way.

With 3 generations of experience, we bring construction insight into the design phase—eliminating costly surprises and giving clients peace of mind. Our process is proactive, transparent, and grounded in real-world expertise. And because we’re local, we know what it takes to build in New England: from snow loads to setback rules, we plan ahead so you don’t have to worry.
