Cambridge-area Home Remodeling Project
We helped this client renovate their entire Cambridge townhouse into a more modern space.
Space was crucial within the townhouse so we went into the project with the goal of optimizing the overall space as much as possible. To achieve this goal, we created an open layout so the owners could maximize the living space on the floor.
Bay State’s designers were able to incorporate the existing exposed brick wall into the overall design and accentuate it to make it a design feature throughout. We also successfully converted the gas fireplace into a wood-burning fireplace for cold Cambridge nights.

What Our Clients Say
“Wow – these guys are awesome! My wife and I hired Ray to help remodel our old 1960’s bathroom (think baby blue…everywhere). Ray stopped by within a day and helped me brainstorm on how do it right, but do it cost effectively. A few days later David and Marcio were on site, getting to work.
My family and I needed to be away that week, and David and Marcio could not have been more helpful during the process. David called a couple times a day to check in and update me on progress. He even Facetimed me every day to show me how things were going and ask for input on how we wanted things done – its the little things that count. A few days later and we had a gorgeous new bathroom, delivered on time and on budget.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience – thanks guys!”
