Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Melrose, MA, filed through the city's SimpliCity portal with a fee based on the real cost of the job.
Melrose sets its permit fee by the actual total cost of construction, sub-trades included, and every application goes in online. We give you a written estimate with that same number in mind, so the permit and the price match.
Pre-war Melrose kitchens often have walls out of square and floors that dip toward the old chimney. We open things up, fix the framing, and then tile, so the backsplash lines run straight even when the house doesn't.

Demolition review for pre-1900 buildings
Under the city's Demolition Review Ordinance (Chapter 132), taking down 50% or more of a building's exterior surface, walls and roof counted together, goes to the Historical Commission if the building was built in 1899 or earlier or is on the National Register. A building found 'preferably preserved' can wait up to 12 months. [1][2]
