Custom Home Building and Remodeling in Melrose, MA

Homes in Melrose

Much of Melrose is made up of Victorian and Colonial homes on streets close to downtown and the commuter rail stations. These houses often have tall ceilings, original trim, and layouts built for another century. Updating them well means respecting the details while fixing the parts that no longer work.

Residential remodeling and kitchen design are where many Melrose conversations start, since older kitchens are often small and closed off. Finish carpentry matters a lot in these homes, from matching existing trim to building new built ins. Where there is room, a home addition or even a new custom home is also something we can plan with you.

ADUs and In Law Suites

With lots that are often tighter here, an ADU usually takes the form of an in law suite inside or attached to the house, or a garage conversion. A detached unit can still work on some properties. We look at the lot and the house together before suggesting a direction.

Outside the House

Older Victorians and Colonials benefit from new siding and windows that suit their style, along with better insulation in walls and attics. Flooring updates and outdoor living spaces like back porches or small decks round out the list.
