Check out Faneuil Kitchens in Hingham. I'm sure they will go North. They have done a lot in the western suburbs and a ton on the Cape. They have done two kitchens for me, beautiful and no issues. They are a total custom shop so they can do whatever you want. They have amazing craftsmanship! Regarding granite suppliers I have not been to Boston Granite Exchange, I found my marble at Century Stone in Braintree and used Rich Rann (Woodstone Fabrication) in Pembroke.

Are you looking for someone to help you make purchases and/or hook you up with specific vendors? Someone to make recommendations that are pure aesthetic design? Someone to recommend re-configurations? A "project manager"? I ask because we just finished a "refresh" (I posted a reveal thread), and we basically hired a contactor to actually do the work, but we made all of the aesthetic decisions and orders ourselves. I probably would have wanted a dedicated KD if we had gutted the whole kitchen, but since we were just refreshing, I wasn't sure what their real role would be.

I had a vanity, built-ins for my daughter's room, and a desk made by Village Woodworking in Topsfield. They do very nice work and install what they make. I priced them when I did my kitchen and it was quite a bit more than what I ended up with (which was Crownpoint out of New Hampshire... which I am VERY pleased with).

If you have had floors refinished lately, and were pleased with your contractor/team, I would appreciate getting some contact info and/or general advice as to how to survive the project and how long to expect the process to take. We have a Cape built in the 1960s, and have the original golden/orange oak floors throughout. It's a fairly sizeable project (I think?), and I'd like to get this done this winter/spring. While I have a resource, it's a single guy who works on his own and I'm concerned about how long it will take him and how long we will need to be out of the house. Scope: Old part of the house – floors haven’t been done in 17 years Front Hall – 10x9 TV room – 18 x 12 Hallway – 4 x 16 Bedroom – 11x12 Bedroom – 11x13 Bedroom 12.5 x 15 5 closets New part of the house. Floors were refinished 4 or so years ago. These should be touched up. Pantry – 7x10 Kitchen – 17 x 23 Map room – 15x15 Thanks in advance.
