Quick Tips for Boston Homeowners
Boston Permit Requirements
Most renovations in Boston require permits. Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically need building permits, especially if plumbing or electrical work is involved.
Best Time to Renovate
Spring and fall are ideal seasons for renovations in New England. Weather is moderate, and contractors typically have better availability.
Budget Planning
Add 15-20% contingency to your renovation budget for unexpected issues, especially in older Boston homes where surprises are common.
Timeline Expectations
Kitchen renovations typically take 4-6 weeks, bathrooms 2-3 weeks. Full home renovations can take 2-4 months depending on scope.
