Somerville-area Home Remodeling Project
We helped this Somerville area client renovate their entire townhouse. Each of the three floors in the townhouse were updated to introduce a new, modern look throughout.
Maximizing space was crucial to the success of this project. The team at Bay State was able to create a complete open layout by removing a wall enclosing the kitchen.
The exposed brick wall was an integral part of the overall design. Our designers were able to incorporate it into the overall design, making it a key feature throughout the townhouse. They were also able to successfully convert the gas fireplace into a wood-burning fireplace for cold New England nights.

Customer Review
“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!”
