Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Greater Boston
Full kitchen remodels from layout redesign to final hardware — Schlickmann manages every trade in-house so your project moves without delays.
The kitchen is the highest-ROI renovation in the Massachusetts market. A well-executed remodel in Greater Boston consistently returns 60–80% at resale while dramatically improving daily quality of life. Schlickmann's kitchen remodeling team handles the complete scope: structural wall removal, plumbing rough-in relocation, electrical panel upgrades, custom or semi-custom cabinetry, stone countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, and all finish work.
Most kitchen remodeling contractors in Massachusetts specialize in one trade — they install cabinets, or they do tile, or they handle plumbing — and then you're left coordinating the handoffs. Schlickmann operates as a true general contractor: our project manager schedules every phase, our in-house carpenters build and install cabinetry, and our subcontractor relationships for plumbing and electrical are long-standing partnerships with licensed tradespeople we trust.
We serve the full range of kitchen remodel types in Greater Boston's diverse housing stock. Colonial kitchens from the 1950s–1980s are often cramped galley configurations that benefit from wall removal and island additions. Victorian three-deckers in Somerville and Cambridge require careful structural assessments before opening load-bearing walls. Modern open-plan homes in Burlington and Woburn need seamless flow between kitchen and family room. We've done all of it.
Our fixed-price proposals mean no budget surprises. Before demo begins, you receive a line-item breakdown covering every material, every trade, and every permit fee. Change orders happen only when you request scope additions — not because we missed something in the original assessment.
Kitchen Remodeling — FAQ
How much does kitchen remodeling cost in Stoneham, MA?
Kitchen remodeling in Stoneham and Greater Boston typically ranges from $45,000 for a mid-range update (new cabinets, countertops, appliances) to $130,000+ for a full gut remodel with layout changes, premium cabinetry, and high-end appliances. Schlickmann provides fixed-price proposals before any work begins.
How long does a kitchen remodel take with Schlickmann?
Most kitchen remodels in our portfolio complete in 6–12 weeks from demo to final punch list. Timeline depends on scope: a cabinet-and-countertop refresh takes 3–4 weeks; a full gut remodel with wall removal, new plumbing, and electrical runs 8–12 weeks. We build a project schedule before we start and hold to it.
Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel in Massachusetts?
Yes — any kitchen remodel involving plumbing relocation, electrical work, or structural changes requires building permits in Massachusetts. Schlickmann handles all permit applications with your local building department (Stoneham, Woburn, Medford, or wherever your project is located). Permit fees are included in your fixed-price proposal.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
Yes. Wall removal is one of our most common kitchen requests in Greater Boston's older Colonial and Cape housing stock. Our process: we assess whether the wall is load-bearing, engage a structural engineer if required, install a properly sized LVL or steel beam, and execute the opening with full permits. We've removed walls in homes from 1920s Colonials to 1980s split-levels.
