Kitchen layers we remodel in Somerville

Each part of the kitchen has its own page. Read the one you are weighing, then combine them in one job.

  1. Layout changes

    Galleys in Somerville two-families often have a dining room on the other side of the wall. Opening it up is structural work, so we plan it before anything is priced.

  2. Cabinets

    New cabinets usually take 8 to 14 weeks to arrive, so the order sets the calendar for the whole job.

  3. Islands

    Where a galley is wide enough, an island adds counter and seating. We check clearances before you commit.

  4. Countertops, backsplash and floor

    Counters, a tile backsplash and a new kitchen floor finish the room. Ask us about each one in your estimate.

Kitchen renovation in Somerville's triple-deckers and condos

Somerville is dense. Triple-deckers and two-families mean narrow galley kitchens and plumbing stacked between floors, and many are condo conversions. Davis, Union and Ball Squares each have their own mix of buildings.

Condo buildings often have alteration agreements that set working hours, contractor requirements and what must be filed. Send your master deed and rules with your request so we can price around them.

Most Somerville houses were built before 1978, so lead-safe rules can apply to paid work. Ask us at the estimate what your price should allow for.

Questions from Somerville homeowners

What is the average cost of remodeling a kitchen in Somerville?

We have no Somerville-only figure. Published Massachusetts ranges run about $25,000 to $45,000 for a refresh, $50,000 to $85,000 mid-range, and $90,000 to $175,000 and up for a full gut. Your free estimate turns a range into a number.

Does a pre-1978 Somerville home need a lead-safe contractor?

Lead rules apply to paid work in housing built before 1978 once a job disturbs more than 6 square feet of painted surface in a room. Ask any contractor about their lead-safe licence.

How long does kitchen remodeling take?

On-site work is often 3 to 5 weeks for a refresh and 6 to 9 for mid-range. Cabinets add 8 to 14 weeks of lead time first.

Does my condo board need to approve the work?

Often yes, especially for plumbing or electrical. Send your master deed and alteration rules with your request.

Can a homeowner do their own plumbing in MA?

Plumbing needs a licensed plumber, and electrical a licensed electrician, even in your own home.

Can a tile backsplash go straight onto drywall?

Often it can, with the right prep. We check the wall behind the stove at your estimate.
