Whole-home renovations for older houses.
When a house needs more than one room redone, treating it as a single project gets a better result than doing it in pieces.

What's involved.
Older houses around Boston have good bones and tired systems. A whole-home renovation is the chance to fix what's behind the walls and rework the layout at the same time.
We coordinate the trades, suppliers and inspections so the schedule holds together from demolition through the final coat of paint.
- Layout changesWalls moved or removed, with structural work engineered and permitted.
- SystemsElectrical, plumbing, heating and cooling replaced or brought up to current code.
- Kitchens and bathsDesigned as part of the whole plan, not as separate jobs.
- Energy upgradesInsulation, windows and efficient equipment, up to net-zero-ready work.
- FinishesFloors, millwork, tile, paint and fixtures through final walkthrough.
“This project is keeping us in our home forever.”
Allston Contractors transformed our kitchen with impeccable precision. Their timely work, expert project management (by civil engineering graduates!) and seamless coordination of electricians, plumbers, painters, and suppliers made our renovation a breeze. They even helped us find top-notch countertop suppliers and cabinet designers. Despite minor delays, their constant communication and fantastic execution left us highly impressed. We'll definitely turn to Allston Contractors for future projects!
Carol and Fernando remodeled my basement - reasonable price, minimal disruption to my home, excellent final product, and all on time! We had a few unexpected challenges (what older home doesn’t?!) but they were thorough and thoughtful in providing helpful solutions! I highly recommend.
This project is keeping us in our home forever with the addition of an elevator for easy access as we age. Work started on the day we received our permits and kept steady progress until completion. Followed every suggestion for subcontractors and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our 1896 single family boasts an updated kitchen, the addition of a spacious bath, laundry area, and the elevator to expanded living space. All completed on budget, and with attention to detail by kind and considerate staff and workers. Who could ask for more? We’re thrilled!
