After dreaming and planning for years, you've finally decided to remodel your kitchen, a bathroom or add a cozy fireplace to your living room. Everyone has dreams about how we might enjoy our home more. The real challenge in most projects is finding the right contractor for the job. You have choices from acting as the general contractor yourself to hiring a builder or remodeler to manage the project for you.
Rather than tell you all the reasons why it makes sense to hire a remodeler like Greene Construction, we'll share some of our customer stories and let them tell you what it's like working with us. These stories aren't scripted – the interviews, stories and videos are being done by Tina Gleisner from HomeTips4Women.com.
Getting the look you want is important to homeowners. Finding the right piece can take forever, which is why so many of our clients want custom built in's: they are always the perfect fit! This project in downtown Newburyport is a home built in 1850. Working closely with the homeowner, we designed and built in place a media center with bookcases and cabinets. Drawers were sized to specifically fit their CD jewel collection. The flat screen television that had over whelmed the room before now takes it's proper position, flanked by framed photographs and favorite books.
We also built a custom desk, on the wall opposite the media built in's. Starting with a big Mac (as in apple, not the burger) we designed and built in place a desk that is centered between two windows that face the street.
The downtown lifestyle is what this client craved most. But living in a 3 bedroom, 1 bath condo in a brick building built in the 1800′s presented her with some unique challenges: make more use of the space and update it to suit her entertaining style. Here's a short list of what we did on this project.
Structural changes to gain ceiling height.
Hide systems: forced hot air duct work and electrical work.
We added glass tile back splash in a sea foam green which cleans easily and shows off the new cabinetry we installed.
Add recessed and under cabinet lighting.
