Writes the estimates, pulls the permits and looks at every stack before the wall closes.
The firm
Three generations in the same cellars
Araxi Kalustian runs the firm her father ran, and his father started, working in Worcester's triple-deckers.
We are eight people, and most of what we do is replace the stack in a building like the one your grandparents rented. We know the chase behind the bath, the offset on the second floor and the cellar floor that has been poured over twice. We would rather tell you that a section is enough than sell you a whole run.
