Brand New Three-Family Home

11Mar2020

Our team has been working on building this three-family home in Waltham since last summer. The house that was previously there sadly burnt down and we had to build a new home from scratch. It’s been a really exciting project and we’re happy to say that all three units have officially been sold! They went quick and you’ll see why.

Before:

As you can see, we had a blank canvas to start from (with some limitations, of course) but it was exciting to build a brand new home.

During Construction:

After: Our realtor friends at Exp Realty took these photos of the finished product. Thanks for all your hard work!

What do you think? Do you love the finished product as much as we do? Congrats to the three families who bought these beautiful condos. We wish you the best of luck in your new home!

Expansive Second-Floor Home Addition

4Oct2019

Our team at McDonald Contracting took this one-story home from good to great! By adding on an entirely new floor, we were able to give the homeowners more space for family time as well as more bedrooms for privacy. Prior to the renovation, this was a 2-bedroom and 1 bath home shared by 4 people and 2 adorable dogs. Each of the kids now has their own room and the parents now of a spacious new master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet. The laundry is now on the second floor, making for easier laundry days!

Check out this gorgeous renovated home –

Gorgeous Kitchen Addition

18Jul2019

This kitchen is what design dreams are made of! From the huge island, that comfortably accommodates 6 people, to the huge windows that look out onto a pond to the added wet bar this kitchen is divine in every sense of the way.

This project started with a gut remodel and an addition on the homeowners first floor; adding an additional 600 sq feet, a new kitchen, new deck and a finished basement. We designed the kitchen to complement it’s beautiful outdoor surroundings, using large windows in every corner and keeping it open and bright. In the entryway room, we added an array of cubbies to create a useful and beautiful space for the family.

We caught up the homeowner, Kate, and here is what she had to say about working with our team –

“Ed and James were great to work with! We also had a great experience with Brian and Kenny from McDonald Electric. They are very responsive. We lived in the house during the construction and everyone managed! Ed worked with us to minimize any additional costs and stuck to his budget. We LOVE our new kitchen, deck, mudroom! They transformed our house into what we hope will serve our family for many years to come. There were several times that something was installed incorrectly and after we communicated that to Ed and his team, they fixed it. We are happy with the final product!” – Kate
