//Expertise

Local & Condo-Specific Considerations (Cambridge / Greater Boston)

Condo kitchen renovations come with unique constraints: strict building codes, limited wall removal options, noise restrictions, mechanical chase access, and condominium association rules. We work with Cambridge’s Building Department and navigate architectural review when required, and also manage submissions to condo boards for approvals.
In addition, Cambridge condo projects often require sophisticated planning to maintain efficient layouts in narrow footprints. For example, an architect’s Cambridge condo renovation kept the 8×9 foot kitchen footprint but tripled storage capacity by wrapping cabinetry on three sides.
We also understand Greater Boston’s permitting rhythms and contractor practices—so we schedule deliveries, inspections, and trade coordination to minimize disruption in multi-unit buildings.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you understand our process, services, and commitment before starting your WORKs project.

Can you remove walls or reconfigure layouts in a condo?

Possibly, but only if the walls are non-load-bearing and condo/structural rules permit. Each project is assessed for feasibility and regulatory compliance.

Do you handle condo association approvals?

Yes — we prepare drawings, noise mitigation plans, construction phasing, and work with your association’s architectural or alteration committee.

How do you manage deliveries and noise in a condo?

We schedule packaging deliveries during allowed hours, use protective pathways, and plan for quiet construction methods in occupied buildings.

What modern strategies improve small condo kitchens?

Vertical cabinetry to the ceiling, integrated appliances, recessed lighting, hidden storage solutions, and light-reflecting finishes.

What does your 7-year warranty cover?

All craftsmanship—cabinet installation, finish work, joinery, mechanical transitions—excluding abuse or standard wear. Manufacturer warranties separately cover appliances and fixtures.
