A Complete Home Renovation in South Dartmouth, MA

This home renovation project is a comprehensive overhaul that creates a modern aesthetic while preserving the house’s existing proportions. All arched windows are being replaced with larger picture windows topped with transoms to fully highlight the cathedral ceilings, and a new front porch enhances the exterior appeal. Inside, the primary goal is to remove the bearing wall between the kitchen and family room to form an open floor plan, accompanied by a new family room fireplace and doors to the deck. Existing floors will be refinished and new ones added to match for a cohesive look. To balance the renovation’s fresh materials, the cathedral space over the breakfast table will be framed down and molded to feature a venetian plaster ceiling in the home’s most visible area, ensuring a harmonious appearance rather than an overdone one. The result will be a modern, functional, and visually pleasing home.
