Our Approach to Remodeling

At JM Construction, we pride ourselves on a high standard of design-build work for home remodels. Our commitment is to form caring and trusting relationships with our clients. Your goals become our goals.

It’s not only our attention to detail that sets us apart; it’s also our experience and work ethic. We bring these qualities to every project we undertake — from kitchens and bathrooms to full-scale home remodels and additions.

Since 1986, we’ve served Boston’s Metrowest neighborhoods, delivering thoughtful renovations tailored to each client’s needs.

Our Five-Step Remodel Process

We’ve designed a clear and collaborative process to guide you from inspiration to the final result. Here’s what you can expect:

Dream

Visualize your remodeled space or addition and begin planning and considering costs.

Gather your thoughts and subscribe to our newsletter to find ideas and inspiration.

Visit our website and request a Project Consult to share your vision.

Connect

After submitting your online Project Consult request, a consultant will be in touch to schedule a Zoom or phone call.

We spend about an hour getting to know each other and discussing your project expectations and goals.

We will also share our process, core values and philosophy.

Design

Our designer meets with you in the space that will be renovated or created.

Then, our designer conceptualizes your vision and presents a rendition of it with input and options to meet your unique needs.

Once aligned on your vision, we complete the necessary product selections.

Create

Next, you meet the Design Build Team – a blend of in-house experts and carefully curated trade partners.

We review construction plans and discuss your overall investment.

Upon your approval, the project schedule is created and shared. Once all product selections are received, construction begins!

Love

If you would like to host an open-house event for family, friends and neighbors to celebrate your new space, we would be happy to coordinate it.

Feedback is always appreciated. Please consider writing a Google review to tell the world about your experience with JM Construction.

The Benefits of Design-Build Remodeling

At JM Construction, we follow a Design-Build approach, meaning we manage your entire project from the initial concept through final construction. You work with one dedicated team from start to finish, with every detail thoughtfully coordinated under one roof.

This method eliminates the need to juggle separate architects, designers, and builders. Instead, our team handles every phase — streamlining communication, reducing delays, and aligning design with budget from day one. The result? A smoother process and a home that reflects your vision, without big stress.

What You Get With Design-Build

One unified team handles both design and construction, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Seamless communication between architects, designers, and builders.
Accurate budgeting from the beginning, with design decisions aligned to cost.
A collaborative process that keeps your goals, timeline, and vision front and center.

What You Avoid With Design-Build

No confusing handoffs between separate architecture and construction teams.
No unexpected costs or delays due to miscommunication or scope gaps.
No need to coordinate with multiple vendors — we manage everything for you.
