Kitchen & Bath Remodeling for Stoneham homes.
Stoneham's posted code lets the town double a permit fee if work starts before the permit, and triple it if the work is already done. We don't start demo until the OpenGov permit is issued.
Almost half of Stoneham's homes were built between 1960 and 2000, so plenty of kitchens here are on their first or second makeover. Those are often simpler to open up than a Victorian, and we'll tell you where the savings are.
