What types of projects does Hale Design Build specialize in?

We focus on high-end, custom coastal homes, renovations, additions, and distinctive commercial and hospitality projects. Whether you’re expanding a retreat, building a dream home from the ground up, or creating a signature commercial space, our team delivers projects with precision, integrity, and care.

Do you only work on coastal homes?

While our expertise is rooted in coastal construction — from salt-air durability to hurricane resilience — we also build and renovate luxury properties inland. Our coastal mastery simply means we bring a higher level of craftsmanship, resilience, and design detail to every project..

What makes Hale Design Build different from other builders?

We combine premium craftsmanship with an approachable, transparent process. Our detailed, open-book estimates eliminate surprises, while our trusted network of trades and design partners ensures quality at every stage. Clients often say we make the building experience less stressful and more enjoyable.

Do you handle both design and construction?

Yes. We offer a fully integrated approach that takes you from initial concept through final finish. You can work with our design partners or bring your own architect — either way, we coordinate and manage the process end-to-end to keep things seamless.

Where does Hale Design Build work?

We serve Boston’s North Shore — including Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly Farms, Hamilton, and Wenham — as well as the greater Naples, Florida area.

How do you make the construction process less stressful?

Our project management software, Buildertrend, streamlines the construction process from start to finish. It starts with the contract process, schedule of construction, daily logs on the status of your project, record keeping of all project related paperwork, and direct messaging to our staff and much more. Because we have such a tight handle on every project, we bring an easygoing, collaborative approach backed by our meticulous project management. Our clients know what to expect at every stage because we’re transparent with budgets, timelines, and communication. The result is a smooth experience and a finished space you can enjoy without the typical headaches.

Do you work on commercial and hospitality projects too?

Absolutely. We build and renovate commercial and hospitality properties with the same care and attention to detail we bring to our residential work. Whether it’s a boutique hotel, restaurant, or professional office space, we create environments that are functional, beautiful, and aligned with your brand.

How do you ensure quality craftsmanship?

We partner with highly skilled tradespeople and design specialists we’ve trusted for years. Every detail is reviewed carefully, and our hands-on approach means nothing is overlooked. For us, craftsmanship isn’t just a promise — it’s the standard we live by.
