A finished basement — one of Eastwest's own projects.
What we do
Six services, one crew, one schedule
Most jobs need more than one of these. Running them together is what stops a project stalling in the gap between two contractors.
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors — prepped properly, cut in clean, and finished so the room still looks right three years from now.
About interior painting
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim and detail work prepped for New England freeze-thaw — scraped back to sound substrate, primed to match, and coated inside the weather window.
About exterior painting
Carpentry
Trim, framing, repairs and custom woodwork — sequenced with the painting and finish work so nothing gets built twice.
About carpentry
Kitchen Remodel
Demo through finish, with carpentry, painting and finish work coordinated by one contractor so the phases actually join up.
About kitchen remodel
Bathroom Remodel
Full and partial bathroom work built around moisture — proper substrate behind the tile, sequenced so the finish lasts.

Basement Finishing
Turning a basement into real living space — starting with whether the space is dry, not with framing.

Why Eastwest
What actually makes a difference
Four things, all of which are decisions rather than claims. You can check every one of them while the work is happening.

One contractor for finish and structure
Carpentry and painting under one schedule. Repairs get primed and sealed in the right order, nothing is installed before the dimension it depends on is fixed, and there is one person responsible for the result rather than two pointing at each other.
Prep decides the finish
On a normal interior, more hours go into repair, sanding, masking and priming than into rolling paint. That ratio is the difference between a finish that holds and one that needs touching up inside a year.
Built for how you actually live
Most of our work is in occupied homes. Rooms are sequenced so you keep a kitchen, a bathroom and a route between them, dust is contained at the room, and the site is cleaned at the end of every day.
Straight answers about scope
If a refresh gets you most of the result, we will say so instead of quoting the larger job. If something we open up turns out to be structural, you hear about it that day with what it means for the price.

Not only the finish — the frame it goes on
How it works
From first message to final walkthrough
- 01
Request an estimate
Tell us what you need and send a few photos. That is usually enough for us to say something useful before we visit.
- 02
Site visit
We look at the work in person, check the things that are not visible in photos, and talk through what the job actually involves.
- 03
Scope and quote
You get a written scope and a price. What is included, what is not, and what would change the number.
- 04
The work
Rooms sequenced around you, dust contained, site cleaned daily. You know who is coming and when.
- 05
Final walkthrough
We go through it with you under the lighting you actually use, mark anything outstanding, and handle it before we pack up.
Where we work
Norwood and the towns around it
A tight service area on purpose. It means we can get to a job quickly and come back for a punch-list item without it being a production.
NorwoodBased here
02062
Norwood is where we are based, and it is where most of our work is. If you are within the 02062 you are five minutes from us, which in practice means we can look at a job quickly and come back for a punch-list item without it being a production.
Painting & remodelling in NorwoodWestwood
02090
Westwood is next door to us, and a large share of what we do there is exterior work. The mature tree cover through much of the town is lovely to live under and hard on paint — shade holds moisture on siding, and north elevations stay damp long enough to grow things.
Painting & remodelling in WestwoodWalpole
02081 · 02032
Walpole covers a lot of ground and a wide spread of build eras — older centre-of-town houses, mid-century ranches and colonials, and newer construction. We work across all of it, including East Walpole.
Painting & remodelling in WalpoleDedham
02026
Dedham has some of the oldest housing stock in the area, and it shows up most in kitchens and bathrooms — rooms that were laid out for a very different way of living and have been worked around ever since.
Painting & remodelling in DedhamCanton
02021
Canton runs from older centre-of-town housing out to post-war neighbourhoods and newer builds, and the work we do there reflects that spread — bathrooms and kitchens in the older stock, and painting and carpentry across all of it.
Painting & remodelling in CantonSharon
02067
Sharon is the far edge of our regular area and worth the run. A lot of what we get asked about there is space — finishing basements, adding built-ins, reworking rooms that are not doing much.

Reviews
What homeowners say
I've worked with Darragh on several home projects, including a full bathroom renovation, electrical work, and door replacement — and I couldn't be happier with the results. He's reliable, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. The quality of his work is outstanding, and he always takes the time to explain options and ensure everything is done right.
It's rare to find someone so dependable and easy to work with — I've already recommended him to many friends and family, and everyone has had the same great experience. I plan to continue working with Darragh for future projects and can't recommend him highly enough!
Had the pleasure of working with East West construction when we finished our basement, from start to finish the communication was excellent and brought our vision to reality! We love our new space and cant recommend East West Construction & Restoration enough.. They will definitely the 1st company we call for any future projects
Common questions
Before you get in touch
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Send us the details and photos of the project and we will come back to you. For most jobs we will want to see it in person before giving you a firm number.
Can one contractor really handle both the carpentry and the painting?
That is the point of how we work. Running both means the sequence is planned once, repairs are primed and sealed correctly before finish coats, and nobody has to be scheduled twice around somebody else. It is also why there is one person responsible for the result rather than two pointing at each other.
Do you work in occupied homes?
Most of our work is in occupied homes. Rooms are sequenced so you always keep a kitchen, a bathroom and a route between them, dust is contained properly, and low-VOC coatings mean interior rooms come back into use the same day.
What towns do you cover?
Norwood, Westwood, Walpole, Dedham, Canton and Sharon. We are based in Norwood. If you are just outside that, ask — it depends on the job.
What is the difference between a refresh and a full remodel?
A refresh works with what is there: paint, fixtures, surfaces, trim. A remodel changes what is there: layout, substrate, structure. The honest answer for a lot of kitchens and bathrooms is that a refresh gets you most of the result, and we will say so when that is the case rather than quoting the larger job by default.
How do I get a realistic price without a site visit?
Photos. Close-ups of anything damaged, a shot of the trim detail, and a wide shot of each space tells us far more than a room count. Our estimate form is built around that, and it means the number we give you is much closer to the number you pay.
What are your hours?
Monday to Saturday, 7:00am to 4:00pm. Closed Sunday. Estimate requests submitted outside those hours are answered the next working day.
What's the biggest mistake homeowners make on a remodel?
Starting demo before selections are locked. On a kitchen especially, every delay after demo is a day you do not have a kitchen. Lead times on cabinets and countertops set the schedule — not labour.
