Waltham-area Home Remodeling Project
The remodelers at Bay State Refinishing & Remodeling helped this couple create the home of their dreams. Upon being purchased, the kitchen wasn’t functional and it was decided to open up the design to allow for a more modern design.
Our team jumped in and created a structural design for an open concept layout. They then planned the remodel so the construction was completed swiftly and did not impede the homeowners’ ability to live in their new home.
In the end, the client was thrilled with their new home and loved the open concept layout, beautiful finishes, and new laundry room relocated to the first floor of the home.

What Our Clients Say
Customer Review
“This was just about the best contractor experience I have ever had. (And I have had many.) I found Baystate via an internet search. From the first call with Ray, I immediately felt comfortable. The first meeting confirmed these were the contractors for this job.
The work was done almost exactly according to the schedule we originally discussed, even considering a number of additions along the way. They made their jobs seem easy to me – and I know there were a number of issues to deal with in the design.
Overall, the team was AMAZING. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. Thank you ALL!”
