Remodeling That Respects a Tight Somerville Lot

Somerville is small and packed, and its homes reflect it. Between Davis Square, Ball Square, Winter Hill, Spring Hill, Union Square, and East Somerville, most of what people want to remodel are two-families, triple-deckers, and century-old colonials sitting on narrow lots. Remodeling here is less about sprawling out and more about pulling real, livable space out of the footprint you already own.

That usually means smarter moves than a big addition. Finishing a dry, well-lit basement near Winter Hill. Opening a wall between a boxed-in kitchen and dining room in a Ball Square two-family. Turning an unused attic or building a rear dormer where the lot and Somerville zoning allow it. We walk your home first and lay out what is realistic, so you are spending on the changes that actually add value in this housing stock.

Older Somerville homes also hide the usual surprises once the walls open: knob-and-tube wiring, undersized 60 or 100 amp panels, balloon framing, and plumbing that has been patched for decades. Because our own licensed electrical crew is on the same team, panel upgrades and rewires happen inside the remodel, not as a separate project. We pull the permits through the Somerville Inspectional Services Division and keep one accountable crew on the job so your remodel moves instead of sitting between subcontractors.

What We Remodel in Somerville

One licensed team for the whole project, from demolition to final walkthrough.

The Somerville difference

The Remodel and the Wiring, One Crew

On an old Somerville home, the electrical is where a remodel usually stalls. You open a kitchen wall, find knob-and-tube and a panel that cannot carry a new range and dishwasher, and the whole job waits on an outside electrician who is booked three weeks out. The Somerville ISD inspection slips, and two trades argue over who opens the wall.

We keep remodeling and licensed electrical under one roof. The same team that demos your Spring Hill bathroom or finishes your East Somerville basement upgrades the service to 200 amps and replaces the old wiring, then stands behind the inspection. Fewer handoffs, fewer delays, one number to call.

Somerville Home Remodeling FAQs

Straight answers before you hire, specific to remodeling in Somerville.

Most Somerville lots are narrow, so we usually add space by finishing what is already there. That means finishing a basement near Winter Hill, opening up a cramped kitchen wall in a Ball Square two-family, or building a dormer or rear addition where zoning and the lot allow. We map out the realistic options for your specific home before we quote, so you know what a remodel can and cannot buy you on a tight Somerville parcel.
Yes. A lot of Somerville housing is owner-occupied two-families and triple-deckers, so we are used to remodeling one floor while people live above or below. We stage materials to fit tight driveways, protect shared stairwells and hallways, contain dust, and schedule the loud demolition work around the building. Keeping our own electrical crew in house also means we are not parking an outside sub in a full building for weeks.
Almost always. Homes around Spring Hill, Union Square, and East Somerville were wired for a different era. A kitchen or basement remodel usually means we find knob-and-tube, a 60 or 100 amp panel that cannot carry modern appliances, or circuits that are not up to current code. Because our licensed electrical crew is part of the same team, we handle the panel upgrade and rewire inside the remodel instead of stopping to wait on a separate electrician.
Yes. We pull building and electrical permits through the Somerville Inspectional Services Division and schedule the required rough and final inspections as part of the project. Since the same crew handles the construction and the wiring, the inspections line up instead of stalling between trades.
Yes. We are a licensed and insured contractor holding MA HIC #217519 and CSL #122193. We are happy to share our license and insurance details before your Somerville remodel starts.
