What is a House Wright?

A housewright is someone who builds or repairs houses. If you stroll around Marblehead, you’ll find this noble occupation listed on the plaques of historic homes. We think it’s an appropriate name for our home renovations company as we are known for seamlessly blending the old with the new.

The people who work at James Gilroy House Wright Inc. are what make our company special. Read more about owners, Jamie and Meghan Gilroy, and meet our terrific crew.
