At Bald Hill Builders, our New England roots run deep. In 2004, Brenda Laurenza and her husband, Matt Grosshandler, purchased their dream property: an American Revolution-era home flanked by an early 19th century stone barn and carriage house, on a sprawling Massachusetts dairy farm known locally as Bald Hill. After spending years restoring their beloved property, Brenda and Matt decided it was time to turn their passion into a full-time business. And so, Bald Hill Builders was born.
BHB began with a simple mission: to build a better experience for our clients. All too often, clients have a less than optimal experience working with their builders. We set out to change that—one relationship at a time.
