Waltham homeowners hire Palma for one reason: we live where we work. Our shop is on Sibley Rd., off Lexington St. near the Lincoln line — every crew, ladder truck, and dump trailer starts the day in Waltham. That means same-day inspections, faster emergency response after a storm, and a contractor who already knows your street's housing stock.
