Recently, we’ve received several inquiries from homeowners looking to update antique homes, so it seemed like a good time to share the before and after photos of a historic home in Andover that we recently renovated, with the help of interior designer Amanda Greaves. The Hannah Fay House was built in 1860, and is located […]

    In addition to working on a variety of interesting remodeling jobs, we are thrilled to have broken ground in August on a shingle style custom home, designed by TMS Architects of Portsmouth, NH.

What a glorious summer it was – in our house we enjoyed lots of outdoor cooking and al fresco dining.  But, as summer turns to fall, we’re finding ourselves back in the kitchen, refreshed and ready to dive back into cooking meals indoors. We find this is reflected in the calls we are receiving from homeowners, […]

With the long winter, everyone has had plenty of time to look at our indoor spaces and consider where we want to make improvements.  Oftentimes, couples will make a master bedroom/bathroom renovation their last priority as they focus on their more family-oriented rooms. That was certainly true of a Boxford family for whom we recently […]

  We believe everyone deserves a place to call home. While we love transforming the lives of all of our clients by transforming their homes, one of the most rewarding experiences for our company over the past year was giving back to our community by overseeing the planning and construction of two homes in just […]

As you entertain this holiday season, it’s a great time to keep a notepad handy and start to jot down what you love about your current kitchen, and what you dream of changing. See Kitchen Portfolio Many homeowners we meet want to open their kitchen to other rooms in the house, improve island seating and […]

What is It? We recently completed construction on a contemporary custom home in Boxford, MA . Many passersby stopped to ask us about the unusual combination of siding materials, in particular, the mettalic material. The wood is Douglas Fir, and the silver squares are painted PVC panels applied in a rainscreen application, a creative and […]

One of our master bedroom/bathroom projects was recently included in an article about beadboard wainscoting on the homepage of houzz.com, the leading website for home design enthusiasts – both professionals and homeowners.

Over the winter, we raised the largest timber frame we’ve ever raised, and one of the largest frames in New England. The frame was designed and constructed by Timperpeg (the artisans of post & beam) for Calareso’s Farmstand & Garden Center, on Main Street in Reading, MA. As Timberpeg’s regional independent representative, Howell Custom Building […]
