Kitchen & Bath Remodel

This kitchen was over 40 years old. The space was small and dark; with dark cabinets, poor lighting and only 2 windows. The bathroom, located off the kitchen, was inconveniently located and needed to be better situated for the flow of the house. Needless to say, it was time to create a bright space that complimented the home’s unique space.
In a nutshell, our team did the following –
  • Took everything down to the studs – floors, ceilings, and walls
  • Removed and repositioned a bathroom within the same space and since it was such a compact bathroom,  we used a wall-hung toilet to save space, and also a small wall-hung vanity sink
  • Added 2 sliding barn doors to conserve space
  • Doubled the number of windows, and installed taller cabinets that went up to the ceiling to maximize storage space
  • Opened up the entryway between the dining room to the kitchen
The space is now bright and sunny, with an ocean-inspired kitchen and streamlined bathroom! The homeowners couldn’t be happier!

Mahogany Garage Door Installation

Our team at McDonald Contracting just finished installing these gorgeous mahogany garage doors at a home in Arlington, MA. When the homeowners contacted us they explained how the doors were accidentally painted brown when they really wanted to showcase the natural beauty of the wood (who wouldn’t). To help bring back the wood and achieve the perfect look we sought out a local company, Austin Roberts Construction, who specializes in custom woodwork. They were able to remove the paint and bring the mahogany wood back to its natural state.  Their team did an AMAZING JOB bringing these doors back to life.
