Whole-home renovations
From full gut renovations to targeted upgrades, we manage the entire process. A whole-home renovation is the chance to fix what is behind the walls at the same time: old wiring, undersized framing, missing insulation, and plumbing at the end of its life.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms are where most renovations start. In a kitchen, that means the layout, the island, custom cabinetry, and counters. In a bathroom, it means waterproofing, tile showers, tub conversions, and vanities. Each has its own page, linked below.
- Full gut renovations & partial upgrades
- Custom cabinetry & millwork
- Tile & countertop installation
- Plumbing & electrical coordination
- Premium fixtures & hardware selection
- Lighting design & installation

Renovating a Cape Cod house
What is behind the walls
Older Cape houses often hide old wiring, plumbing, and framing. We look before we price, and keep a line in the plan for what the walls reveal.
Order before demolition
Cabinets, tile, fixtures, and windows are ordered before we start demolition, so the house is not torn up while you wait on deliveries.
Structure and permits
Removing a wall, moving a stair, or changing a roofline needs engineering and a building permit. Licensed plumbers and electricians pull the permits for their work.
Flood zones
In a FEMA flood zone, a renovation large enough to count as a substantial improvement means the house has to meet the flood standards. We check the scope against that rule early.
Historic houses
Interior work rarely needs historic approval, but exterior changes in a historic district do, and several towns review the demolition of buildings more than 75 years old.
Seasonal homes
For a summer home or a rental, the off-season is the time to renovate. Selections are made ahead, and the work is done before the house opens.
“I’ve worked with Joe and his team on several projects and the workmanship is consistently excellent. Their attention to detail and the ease of communication is second to none. Highly recommended.”

Home Remodeling FAQ
How much does a home renovation cost on Cape Cod?
It depends on how many rooms are involved, whether walls or plumbing move, and the finishes you choose. Kitchens and bathrooms cost the most per square foot. We price the job line by line after a visit.
Can I live in the house during a renovation?
For a kitchen or a bathroom, usually yes. For a whole-home renovation it depends on the scope. We plan the work in phases where we can, and tell you plainly when moving out for a period makes more sense.
Do I need a permit to remodel my house in Massachusetts?
Usually, yes. Plumbing, gas, and electrical work need permits pulled by licensed tradespeople, and structural changes need a building permit. Cosmetic work like paint and flooring usually does not.
Should I renovate or tear down and rebuild?
It depends on the structure, the zoning, and the flood and historic rules. An existing house that sits closer to the lot line than today’s zoning allows can often be renovated where a new house would have to meet the current setbacks. We can price both.
Which towns do you remodel homes in?
All 15 towns of Barnstable County: Barnstable, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Wellfleet, and Yarmouth.
