Everett is our next-door neighbor. Chelsea and Everett share a border along the Island End River and Route 16, so a job in Glendale or West Everett is a short drive from our base, not a trip across the metro. That matters when you need someone to come look at a leaking tub surround this week, not next month.

Most of the homes we see in Everett are wood-frame two-families and triple-deckers built in the early 1900s, many of them owner-occupied with one or two rental units. Owners here usually want two things at once: a better unit for their own family, and rental units that hold up to tenants and turn over fast. We plan work around both.

The city has changed a lot since Encore Boston Harbor opened on the Mystic River in 2019. New apartment buildings went up near Lower Broadway, and older houses nearby are getting updated to keep pace. Whether you are refreshing a second-floor bathroom on a side street off Ferry Street or gutting a unit before a sale, we give you a clear written estimate after the visit and a clean, organized job site from day one.

Everett two-families and triple-deckers: what to plan for

The classic Everett house is the stacked two-family (one unit per floor) or the three-decker, with bathrooms piled one above the other on a shared plumbing stack. Remodel the second-floor bath and you are working right over a tenant or a relative, so leak protection, careful demo and a tight schedule are part of the job, not extras.

Houses from this era often hide plaster and lath behind old paneling, floors that slope a half inch or more across a room, and patchwork from decades of small fixes. Before we tile or lay new flooring we check for level and solid subfloor, because new tile on a bouncy floor cracks within a season. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, so federal lead-safe work practices (EPA RRP) apply when old painted surfaces get disturbed.

The projects Everett owners call about most

Rental unit turnovers top the list: new vinyl plank or tile flooring, a bathroom refresh, patched and painted drywall, and new kitchen or bath cabinets so the unit is ready to rent again quickly. Durable, easy-to-clean materials make sense here.

Owner units get the bigger upgrades: full bathroom remodels with a tiled shower, new cabinets installed and leveled, and opening up dated layouts where the structure allows it. New England weather plays a part too. Freeze-thaw winters and humid summers make wood floors move, and small bathrooms without a proper exhaust fan grow mold on ceilings and grout. A good fan, vented outside, is one of the cheapest upgrades in an Everett bath.

Structural, plumbing and electrical work generally needs a permit from the City of Everett, and work on owner-occupied homes of one to four units in Massachusetts generally falls under the state Home Improvement Contractor rules. Ask any contractor how permits will be handled before work starts.

Why Everett homeowners work with a Chelsea-based crew

We are minutes away. Being next door in Chelsea means faster estimate visits, quicker follow-up trips, and no long drive eating into your project day.

You get a reply the same day you text or call. Everett has large Brazilian, Haitian and Central American communities, and we speak English, Portuguese and Spanish, so the whole household, and the tenants upstairs, can understand the plan. Wanderson runs the jobs himself, and we keep the site clean and organized because in a two-family the people living above or below you still need to get through the hallway.

Everett remodeling questions

Everett borders Chelsea, where we are based, so estimate visits here are a short drive. We reply to texts and calls the same day and set a visit time that works for you, Monday to Saturday between 6am and 7pm. There is no charge for the visit, and you get the estimate after we see the job.
Yes. That is common in Everett. We protect floors and shared hallways, plan noisy work for reasonable hours, and pay close attention to the shared plumbing stack so a remodel on one floor does not cause a leak on another. We also clean up at the end of each day so the building stays livable.
Usually yes for anything structural, plumbing or electrical. Permits are issued by the City of Everett, and the rules can change, so check with the city or ask your contractor how it will be handled. Cosmetic work like painting or replacing cabinets in the same spot often needs less paperwork.
It varies widely with size and finishes. Most homeowners in the Boston area spend roughly $15,000 to $35,000 on a typical bathroom remodel, with small refreshes costing less and full gut jobs with custom tile costing more. Older Everett homes can add cost if we find rot or uneven subfloors. Get a free estimate for your exact price.
