//Expertise

Local Boston & Architectural Context

Boston homes are known for architectural character, historic details, and spatial quirks—uneven floors, hidden support beams, narrow corridors. Integrating a living spaces remodel requires skill in marrying new interventions with existing architecture. The Houzz “Living Spaces Decor” project showcases how built-ins, trim continuity, and visual cohesion bring elegance and utility to living environments.
We are familiar with Boston’s permit requirements through ISD, especially when altering walls, adjusting lighting or electrical systems, or adjusting structural layouts. Our team ensures compliance and minimizes delays by managing these elements seamlessly.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What qualifies as a “living spaces decor remodel”?

Remodels that treat living rooms, family rooms, or general communal rooms as holistic environments—coordinating architecture, finish, decor, lighting, and flow rather than isolated updates.

Do I need permits for decor or built-in updates?

If changes are purely cosmetic (paint, finishes, trim) then often no. But structural or electrical changes (e.g. opening walls, adding lighting) require Boston ISD filings.

Can you match custom trim, moldings, or woodwork?

Yes — we carefully take profiles and finishes to integrate new millwork so it blends seamlessly with existing character.

How do you handle transitions between rooms?

Through continuity in materials, ceiling lines, lighting strategies, transitional thresholds, and spatial sightlines.

What does your 7-year warranty cover?

All workmanship, including cabinetry, joinery, trim, surface installations, and built-ins; manufacturer warranties cover systems and fixtures.
