Bathroom remodeling in Brookline,with the neighbour below in mind.

A standard full bath runs about seven working days on site, plus the shower glass, which is templated after the tile is grouted and installed when the fabricator delivers. Layout changes, custom tile patterns and long-lead vanities push that out — and we put the real number in your written proposal instead of the optimistic one.

For a straightforward kitchen with no layout change, plan on roughly three to five weeks on site, plus the countertop fabrication gap between template and install. We give you the real calendar in the written proposal.

Not the one we're building. If it's your only full bath or your only kitchen, tell us at the estimate — we sequence the toilet or a temporary setup back in as early as the work allows and we'll tell you honestly which days or nights you'll want a plan B.

Yes. Plumbing and electrical permits are pulled with your town's building department and we schedule the inspections. You don't chase paperwork.

It depends on the size of the room, whether the layout moves, and what you pick for cabinets, countertops, tile, vanity and fixtures. We don't quote either room over the phone. The on-site estimate is free, takes about thirty minutes, and produces a written itemized price within 48 hours.

Yes, and it's one of the most common jobs we do in older Greater Boston homes. It usually means a new pan and drain location, a proper sloped mortar bed and membrane, and a decision about whether to keep a curb or go curbless — which depends on your joists. We look at that at the estimate.

Usually yes. Moving a sink means new drain and supply, and taking out a wall means checking whether it's carrying load and how the ceiling above is framed. We look at both at the estimate before anyone promises an open floor plan.

Either works. If we supply them, they're ordered on our timeline and we own the delivery date. If you supply them, we build the schedule around your delivery and we'll tell you what we need and when. Same goes for a bathroom vanity.

Yes. A 5×7 second-floor bath in a 1920s two-family is our bread and butter, and a powder room is a short job we're happy to schedule.

We don't do asbestos abatement or de-leading — those need a licensed specialist and we'll refer you to one. If we find something behind the wall during demo, we stop, tell you, and don't disturb it.

Our own vetted, certified crew. Same faces from demo day to the final walk-through, and you have Alessandro's number the entire time.
