What Belmont houses usually need
About 83% of Belmont homes were built before 1970 (US Census, American Community Survey 2019–23). Across our Belmont jobs since 2010, the same kinds of work come up again and again. A project can count in more than one category.
Kitchens
Kitchens walled off from the dining room or a back sunroom. We take out walls and carry the floor above on new beams, set on posts down to the foundation.
Bathrooms
Primary baths, hall baths and powder rooms, often as part of a larger kitchen or addition project.
Additions and second stories
Rear additions, a primary suite addition and a new second floor when the house needs more room.
