Historic districts near the Green
Lexington maintains historic districts around the Battle Green and Munroe. Exterior changes visible from the street require approval before work begins.
Mid-century modern stock
Peacock Farm and Six Moon Hill are architect-designed moderns with flat and low-slope roofs, large glazing and exposed structure. Nothing about them is standard colonial work.
Wide range of eras
A Lexington day can run from a 1740s antique to a 1965 modern to a 2010 colonial. Different substrates, different specs.
What a Remodel Actually Involves
What drives the price
The demolition is cheap and the finishes are expensive, which is the reverse of what most people expect. What moves the number is how far back you go — refinishing existing cabinetry is a fraction of replacing it, and moving plumbing or electrical past the wall it currently sits in changes the job category entirely. In Lexington specifically, the work is mostly colonials of every era plus mid-century modern, and historic district review near the Green shapes how we schedule and stage it.
How the work is sequenced
Rough work first, finishes last, and inspections between. Demo, then any framing, then mechanical rough-in, then close-up and skim, then primer, then cabinetry and fixtures, then final coats. Skipping ahead to finishes because the space looks ready is how a job ends up being partly redone.
Where it usually goes wrong
Two things sink remodels. The first is deciding finishes late, because a cabinet or tile lead time can stall a site that is otherwise ready to move. The second is discovering something behind a wall that changes scope, which is why we open exploratory access early rather than at the point of no return.
How long it takes
A cabinet refinish is seven to ten days. A bathroom is three to five weeks depending on tile and fixture lead times. A kitchen is longer and depends almost entirely on cabinetry delivery. We give the realistic version at the estimate, not the optimistic one.
