Construction & Remodeling in Springfield, MA

Springfield's homes are more often single-family or two-family than in the Boston area, and a large share were built between 1940 and 1960. Planning here often means updating mid-century interiors and checking whether exterior work falls inside one of the city's historic districts.

What shapes a project in Springfield

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Pre-war and mid-century housing

    About 37% of Springfield's housing units were built before 1940 and another 27% between 1940 and 1959. About 83% were built before 1980. About 45% are single-family detached houses and about 18% are in two-unit buildings.

  2. Historic district review

    In Springfield's historic districts, any exterior architectural feature visible from a public street or park is protected. Owners must get approval from the Springfield Historical Commission before making changes.

  3. Inland design values

    The residential code sets Springfield's ground snow load at 35 psf, lower than Worcester's 50 psf, but its minimum flat roof snow load is the same 35 psf. The design wind speed is 115 mph.
