Whole home
Sewall St. — Newton
Full gut down to framing. Kitchen, three baths, refinished floors, and new HVAC routed through the old chases.

The Mount Vernon Ave. project was four rooms — kitchen, two baths, and a mudroom — split into three phases so the family never lost both baths or had to move out. Phase one was the guest bath and the mudroom while they used the primary. Phase two was the primary bath while they used the guest. Phase three was the kitchen while we set up a temporary kitchen in the mudroom.
The kitchen runs a Fabuwood Galaxy Frost shaker with a twelve-foot island, honed quartz counters, and a panel-ready Bosch refrigerator. Both baths got new vanities — walnut shaker in the primary, painted shaker in the guest — and Kohler Purist trim in brushed nickel. The mudroom has custom built-ins with a bench, cubbies, and a tile floor sloped to a drain for wet-boot season.
Each phase had its own punch walk and its own sign-off. The plumber and the tile setter both came back to fix two small items in phase two without a second service call. Final total landed within the original allowance bands. The family stayed in the house the whole eighteen weeks.
