More homeowners are turning to ChatGPT and other AI tools before starting a remodeling project — whether they’re looking for design ideas, planning advice or trying to get an idea of what their project might cost.

It’s a great place to start.

But when it comes to construction pricing, there’s a big difference between a quick online estimate and the cost of actually building the project.

AI can give homeowners a quick remodeling cost estimate, but that number can be very different from the cost of the actual project. Local labor, project scope, selections, existing conditions, permits and professional project management all play a role in what a remodel really costs.

In our latest blog, we explain why those numbers can be so different — and what homeowners should really be looking at when comparing remodeling costs.

Waltham Project Progress

🌲 A 12-foot ceiling for her dream Christmas tree.
🍽️ A custom grilling overhang for him.

This addition is starting to come to life — and while the homeowners knew it would give them the extra space they needed, some of the most exciting details really started to reveal themselves as the framing went up.

For her, one of those moments was seeing the dramatic 12-foot ceilings and realizing just how incredible a huge Christmas tree could look in the new space. 🌲 It had always been something she loved the idea of, and seeing the room take shape made that vision feel real.

For him, it was all about the grill. 🔥

So we incorporated a custom grill overhang into the addition, creating a dedicated covered outdoor cooking area designed specifically for the way he wants to use the space.

One addition. Two very different details that make the project feel personal.

Three pieces of Waltham history hiding underground! 👀

You never know what you’re going to uncover when working on an older home!

During excavation for our Waltham addition, we unexpectedly discovered three old dry wells buried on the property. Judging by their construction, these could very well be 100+ years old.

Pretty fascinating to uncover—but they also had to be properly dealt with before we could move forward with the addition.

The dry wells were filled and stabilized, and one of the locations was incorporated into the new foundation work with a concrete-filled Sonotube footing, all done with engineering review and approval.

It’s one of those parts of remodeling that homeowners rarely get to see. When you're working with an older property, sometimes you have to solve what’s been hiding underground for generations before you can build what comes next.

Unexpected? Absolutely.
Problem solved? Absolutely. ✔️

Nothing will stop this Waltham addition moving! 🏠🔨

It’s always exciting to watch a project come together from the ground up!

Here’s a look at the progress on our Waltham, MA addition — starting with the original home, moving through demo and framing, and now getting the new addition roofed in and weather-tight.

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes between each stage, and seeing the new space finally begin to take shape is such a rewarding part of the process. Our team is working through each phase carefully to make sure the addition ties into the existing home and feels like it was always meant to be there.

We’re looking forward to sharing more as this project continues!
