Kitchen layers that matter in Belmont
Belmont colonials and two-families often have closed-off rooms and older finishes. These are the layers we are asked about most.
Layout changes and islands
Colonials often keep the kitchen walled off from the dining room. Taking a wall out can be structural work, so we plan it first. A kitchen island belmont ma homeowners want needs clearances worked out early.
Kitchen layout changes
Cabinets
New cabinets usually take 8 to 14 weeks to arrive, and the rest of the job follows them. Order early.
Kitchen cabinet installation
Countertops
Quartz countertops in Belmont, MA are a common first question, and granite is the other. We replace counters to suit the cabinets you keep or choose.
Kitchen remodeling
Tile backsplash and floor
In older houses it is worth knowing what is under the existing floor before anything comes up.
Kitchen remodeling
Permits, lead-safe rules and old walls
Many Belmont houses were built before 1978. Federal and Massachusetts lead rules apply to paid work once a job disturbs more than 6 sq ft of painted surface in a room. Massachusetts contractors need a Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor licence for that work. Ask any contractor to show theirs.
Permits depend on the work. A belmont ma kitchen remodeling permit is usually needed for layout, plumbing and electrical changes. Confirm with the town building department. Plumbing needs a licensed plumber and electrical work a licensed electrician. If a homeowner pulls their own permit, they give up rights under the home improvement contractor law.
