Kitchen remodeling in Watertown, MA
Kitchen remodels in Watertown, where one customer had us redo their kitchen and a bath. Permitted and inspected through Watertown's Inspectional Services.
In a Watertown two-family, the kitchen of one unit often sits right over or under the other's. We plan the new plumbing and venting so the work does not cut off water to the tenant or owner next door longer than it has to.
Watertown's Inspectional Services says nearly any work on or in a structure needs a building permit, and a kitchen with new circuits and plumbing always does. We pull the building, electrical and plumbing permits and schedule each inspection.
Questions
Kitchen remodeling in Watertown, answered.
Can you keep the other unit's water on while you redo my kitchen?
In most Watertown two-families, yes for most of the job. Shutoffs are needed for short stretches when lines are tied in, and we tell both units ahead of time.
“I am so glad I chose HouseCraft. I found everyone to be knowledgeable, reliable, innovative and hardworking. There were things you did that others said were impossible to do, like raise the ceiling pipes in my basement. Your prices are very reasonable and working with all of you was such a pleasure. The bathroom and kitchen are fantastic! I liked their work so much I had them renovate another bathroom and it is beautiful.”
Rita B. · Watertown, MA “The guys were quick and professional. Reasonable price. I love the way everything looks. Thank you HouseCraft.”
