Remodels & Additions
Remodels and additions that look like they were always there
An addition should read as part of the house, not something bolted onto it. A remodel should leave the parts you didn't touch looking like they belong with the parts you did. We build high-end remodels, detailed renovations and architecturally integrated additions, usually from an architect's or designer's drawings.
Know where the lines are before design starts
In Massachusetts, what a homeowner calls a remodel the building department may treat as a major renovation. Once a project crosses certain thresholds, such as the share of the house being altered, how much of the thermal envelope is opened up, or mechanical system changes, current energy code applies and the budget and schedule change with it. We help you see those lines early. Our post Starting a Major Remodel in Massachusetts explains what triggers it.
Accessory dwelling units
Since February 2025, Massachusetts allows ADUs by right in single-family zoning districts, within size limits and local rules such as setbacks and septic. Whether it's a basement or attic conversion, an addition or a detached cottage, we can help you understand what your lot allows. See The Future of ADUs in Massachusetts.
One point of accountability
On a remodel you're often living in or around the work. We coordinate every subcontractor, keep the site organized and stay on top of the details. Judith S. wrote that Will "had our back" when a subcontractor's attitude needed correcting during her kitchen renovation. Gretchen L.'s basement renovation in Concord was finished on time for her daughter's wedding reception. Read more on our testimonials page.
