Remodeling is disruptive, so detailed planning keeps the project on schedule with no surprises along the way.

Our Whole-Home Remodeling Process
Six steps, the same on every project, so you always know what happens next.
Initial Consultation
We listen to your needs and your vision, then visit your home to understand the space, your style preferences and your budget.
Design & Planning
Our designers create a custom plan that reflects your style and how you actually use the room, and guide you through every selection.
Budget & Timeline
Once the design is final we provide a transparent project estimate and timeline, so there are no surprises after work starts.
Demolition & Preparation
We carefully remove the old components, protect the rest of your home, and make sure plumbing and electrical are up to code.
Installation & Construction
Our craftsmen install every element to the highest standard, and we keep you informed of progress with regular updates.
Finishing Touches & Walk-Through
Paint, trim and hardware are completed, then we walk the finished space with you to confirm everything meets your expectations.
What Drives the Cost of a Whole-Home Remodel
Every home is priced from its own scope, never from a template. These are the factors that move the number the most, and we walk through each one with you before you commit to anything.
- How many rooms are in scope, and their size
- Whether the layout changes and whether walls move
- Structural work, additions and any change to the footprint
- Cabinetry, tile, flooring and finish selections
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC that has to be updated or relocated
- Age-in-place and accessibility work
- Permits and the condition of what is behind the walls
- Whether the house is lived in during the work
After the design is finalized we provide a transparent project estimate and timeline in writing, before any demolition begins.

We worked with Rich and his team to reconstruct our 1800's barn into a home office/living space. They were great to work with from start to finish. They were on top of the project every step of the way and I'd highly recommend working with them.Posted on Google![]()

I can't say enough about Rich and his company. He has done a few projects for me and is always attentive and responsive to our needs. He is very professional and alway gets things done in a very timely manner. I can't recommend him enough.Posted on Google![]()

I came by Rich's company by way of a referral. I was refinishing existing flooring and also adding flooring, including the kitchen where it would be adjacent to the existing wood. Throughout the whole process Rich and his crew were very easy to talk to, and did an excellent job with the refinishing, new flooring install, and the "feathering" in of the existing refinished wood with the new install. Rich was more than willing to answer any questions that I had. I was very pleased with it all and happy that I chose Rich. Being that he is a general contractor, I feel confident that I can reach out to him in the future for any other job that I think he might be able to help with.Posted on Google![]()

Working with Rich was smooth and efficient! I own a multifamily in Boston and have been looking for quality contractors who are reasonably priced. After I reached out for assistance with a balcony door that was beginning to leak when it rained, among a handful of other household issues I was having, Rich promptly made arrangements to come by, assess, and offer a quote. His team was by within a few days to get the job done. I will be contacting Rich and Co for future projects!
Common Questions
Every home is priced from its own scope. How many rooms are in scope, whether the layout or the footprint changes, the finish selections and any mechanical work that has to move are the biggest factors. Once the design is finalized we provide a transparent project estimate and timeline in writing, before any work starts.
Your timeline is set in writing at the budget and timeline stage, after the design is finalized and before demolition begins, so you know the schedule before we start.
Yes. Pulling the necessary permits and ordering materials are steps in our process, completed before the pre-construction meeting.
We coordinate all of the trades, plumbing, electrical, tiling and carpentry, under one design-build contract. Coordination and accountability sit with us, not with you.
It depends on the scope and which rooms are in play. We plan the phasing with you at the design stage, and whether you stay in the house is one of the factors that affects both the schedule and the estimate.
We work in Andover and across the Merrimack Valley. Our office is at 1323 South St, Andover, MA 01810.
