Whole House Remodel and Building Envelope Upgrade
Steveworks LLC completed a comprehensive whole house remodel in Newton, delivering a fully redesigned floor plan that transformed the home's layout and energy performance. The project involved adding a mudroom, straightening the stairway, and converting a warren of small upstairs rooms into four well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms.
As part of the renovation, all windows, siding, and roofing were replaced. This allowed the team to significantly improve air sealing and insulation throughout the building envelope. The project also included a conversion from gas to heat pumps, reducing the home's reliance on fossil fuels.
ADU Construction for Aging-in-Place Living
In another Newton project, Steveworks LLC constructed an accessory dwelling unit designed specifically with accessibility in mind. The ADU was built by converting a dormered fourth bedroom located above a garage into a self-contained second-story unit with its own private entrance.
The finished in-law suite includes a full kitchen and an accessible bathroom, making it a practical option for aging family members. Steveworks LLC incorporated a curbless shower and a chair lift to support aging-in-place needs, ensuring the space is both functional and safe for older occupants.
This type of project demonstrates Steveworks LLC's experience as an ADU builder, working within existing structures to create livable, independent spaces. Whether it involves a garage conversion or a reconfigured upper floor, they approach each project with attention to the specific needs of the household.
