The Sewall St. house is a 1922 colonial that had been through one bad remodel in the 1980s. The owners wanted the kitchen, three baths, and the first-floor plan rebuilt, plus every floor refinished to a single color. We pulled the permit before demo started and ran a full framing inspection once the plaster came off — two joist sisters and a new header over the kitchen opening.
The kitchen runs a Fabuwood Galaxy Frost shaker in a perimeter-and-island layout with a quartz-slab counter. The primary bath has a curbless walk-in shower with a Schluter membrane, a walnut shaker vanity, and a tile niche we laid twice to keep it plumb. The two guest baths got new three-quarter layouts with brass fixtures and marble-look porcelain floors. HVAC got re-routed through the original chases so we did not have to soffit the new ceilings.
One project lead ran the full fifteen weeks. Written weekly updates every Friday, every change order on paper before the work happened, and a signed final walkthrough before we left the site.
“Fifteen weeks of demo, framing, and finish work while we lived with our in-laws. One project lead owned the whole thing and emailed a written update every Friday. The final number came in within the allowance ranges in the proposal.”
