A written scope and a real price after we've actually seen the room — not a number over the phone that moves once the walls are open. Serving Wilmington, Lowell, Woburn and surrounding towns since 2011.
Most kitchen and bath budgets are decided by three things nobody puts in the brochure. Knowing which apply to your room is most of what the estimate is for.
Keeping the sink, tub and toilet where they are costs a fraction of relocating them. Moving a drain line — especially on a slab or a first floor over a finished basement — is one of the biggest single swings in the whole budget.
Opening a kitchen into a dining room is often the change that makes the whole house work. If the wall is load-bearing it needs a beam, a load path and a permit — which is where the CSL matters and where unlicensed crews cut corners.
Merrimack Valley housing stock hides knob-and-tube, undersized supply lines, rot under tubs, and subfloor that won't take tile. We price the known unknowns openly instead of discovering them as change orders.
Cabinetry, counters, appliances, lighting, flooring, and the electrical and plumbing to support them. We pull the permits, supervised under CSL CS-119855.
Down to the studs where it's warranted: waterproofing, subfloor, ventilation, tile, fixtures. The parts that fail later are the ones behind the tile.
Ask before you spend. Matt is also a licensed MA real estate agent with RE/MAX Encore — some kitchen work returns more than it costs and some clearly doesn't, and we'll tell you which this is.
These are from a new-construction build in Wilmington rather than a remodel — same cabinetry, tile and plumbing scope, built from an empty shell instead of an existing room.
Kitchen, new construction — Wilmington.
Perimeter run, quartz and shaker.
Double vanity, new construction.
Kitchens and baths typically run weeks rather than months, but the honest answer depends on scope and on lead times for cabinetry and fixtures. You'll get a written schedule with the estimate, and we sequence the work to shorten the stretch where the room is unusable.
Because a phone number is a guess, and guesses get corrected upward once the walls are open. Plumbing locations, wall structure and what's behind the finishes decide the real price. The on-site visit is free for exactly this reason.
Usually yes once electrical, plumbing or structural work is involved, which covers most real remodels. We pull the permits rather than asking you to, supervised by Matthew Moisan under Construction Supervisor License CS-119855.
Yes, and sometimes that saves real money. We'll be clear about what we can and can't warrant on owner-supplied materials, and about what happens to the schedule if something arrives damaged or late.
Where there's genuine unknown behind a wall, we price the unknown up front rather than treating it as a surprise later. Anything that does change gets put in writing before the work happens, not after.
Massachusetts home improvement law limits the deposit a contractor may collect and we work within it. Your written contract sets out the deposit and every progress payment, tied to completed work, before you sign.
Free on-site visit, same business day response, and a written scope you can actually compare against other bids. HIC #212044, supervised under CSL CS-119855, working in Massachusetts homes since 2011.
