Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Somerville?
As a benchmark, the 2025 Cost vs. Value report for Boston lists about $28,991 for a midrange minor remodel, $84,331 for a midrange major remodel and $173,271 for an upscale major remodel. Older Somerville homes can add costs for wiring, plumbing or out-of-level floors, which we check during the walkthrough.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Massachusetts?
Usually yes when the job includes new electrical, plumbing, gas or wall changes. Cabinet and counter swaps alone often don't. As a licensed Construction Supervisor, I pull the building permit and coordinate the trade permits and inspections.
Can you work from my architect's or designer's plans?
Yes. Bring finished plans, a sketch or just an idea. I'll price it, check it for buildability and code, and build it.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
It depends on the scope and on cabinet lead times. You'll get a written schedule with the proposal, and weekly photo updates while we build.
Which towns do you work in?
Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Arlington, Everett, Watertown, Belmont, Brookline and the rest of Greater Boston.
