It is an ADU for my mother in law. I chose Emerson because after meeting him, I liked that he is very detail oriented, he knows his stuff, and is a bit of a code wonk. . The project ended at near $400K. It's not often you can contract and complete a year long project with very few minor problems. We are very happy with everything. **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Steve, thansk for kind remarks. You know I am glad you and your Mother-in -law are enjoying the new place ! Emerson **★★★★★ — Jennifer and Sean McTernan, July 2020** > We used Emerson and team for a full kitchen remodel of our 1900 Victorian in 2018. He was detailed, professional, and the end result is beautiful! He was patient and knowledgeable as well, as this was our first remodel of such magnitude and we had a lot of questions. He and team also installed reclaimed heart pine throughout our first floor and did a wonderful job weaving it in to the original we wanted to save. He also respects the history of your home and will work with you to keep important aspects of charm and character. We will definitely be using him for projects in the future! **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Jen & Sean, I love how your kitchen came out almost as much as you two ! Thanks for your endorsement and continued support . Emerson **★★★★ — Richard Lynch, April 2020** > Allegiance Construction worked on my $13 million dollar 40 unit condo renovation. > > Their scope was to hanging (A) all doors & frames & hardware, (B) installing kitchen cabinets, which we had 40 custom kitchens. and (3) all baseboard detail though-out units and common areas. They also rebuilt 2 main stairwells in common area, plus built custom stairwells within units > > Allegiance was very professional, guys in the field worked great with other trades and quality of carpentry scope was excellent. > > Due to complexity of project, knowing that project punch list would be extensive, Allegiance worked extremely well with our staff to complete their punch list in quick timely manner that satisfied both myself and my cleint. > > I would highly recommend Allegiance Construction for future work. **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Rik, > Thanks for the kind words and review. It was a great project for us and we were glad to team up with Landmark and get this project done, people moved back into their homes. We look forward to our next opportunity with you and Landmark. Emerson 3 **★★★★★ — Mark Q, Aug. 2019** > After interviewing several contractors for our home renovation (rebuild really) we met with Emerson and Emerson from Allegiance. We knew right away we wanted to go with them. They were reasonably priced (not too high, not low-balling) and gave us the sense that they truly cared about us, our needs, and the quality and timeliness of the build. > We had a 1200 sq. ft. ranch built in 1945 that we needed to add an in-law sweet on the first floor, re-layout the rest of the first floor, and add a second floor with 3 bedrooms to take us to 2400. Oh, not to mention a third floor bonus room. So, one floor to three floors, one bathroom to 4 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms to four bedrooms. All on the original small footprint of a foundation. Quite the project! > Working with our architect, they quickly got to work, dealing with the complicated process of permits and setting up a schedule. They had to stay on the original foundation, which was not fully structurally sound but they quickly and cost effectively got it fixed. The home also had two rooms not on the original foundation that were renovated and blended to the main house seamlessly. The roof lines in particular were a source of concern but they end up looking flawless. > As with any renovation the size of this size, you're going to run into an unforseen problem. And our project was no exception. Whenever a problem came up, it was explained precisely, transparently, and the cost was itemized so we understood what cost what. > We would without hesitation recommend Allegiance. We couldn't be happier with our completely transformed and awesome home! You'll be happy you hired them! **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Mark, > Thank you for such a nice review and your positive comments. I hope you, Alix and the entire family will enjoy your newly re-built home for years to come. > > Emerson4 & Emerson3 **★★★★★ — Amy McLean, March 2019** > We hired Lowe's to renovate our master bathroom and had the good luck to get Emerson for the contractor to do the job. Emerson understood what we wanted and helped with some changes that were not that much more expensive, but would save us from having to do some things over again in the future. He was always available and when we had questions about the project. They always did an excellent job of cleaning up each that that when we came home at the end of the day, the only trace that they were there was the bathroom was more complete. Will definitely give them a call next project that comes up! **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Amy, thanks for taking the time and your kind words for how we worked and the success of the project. We hope you enjoy your new bathroom for years to come. **★★★★★ — HU-535470430, March 2019** > Allegiance completed 2 bathroom reno’s and a kitchen upgrade as well opening a wall in the living room. I had an excellent experience with them. Emerson was extremely helpful and on point. He made sure that everything was cleaned up and put away each day. He was always available when I had any questions or concerns. If I left a voice mail I always received a call back. They are thorough and responsive. They have insightful advice and they did a great job of really listening to what I wanted . I was guided thru every step of the process. I highly recommend them and they are the only contractor I use now, you get quality, confidence and a piece of mind that everything will be done on time and right. **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Mike, > Thank you for the support here and your kind words. It was great working with you on the upgrades to your home. We sure hope you enjoy them for years to come, and call us for the next project ! **★★★★★ — Dan White, March 2019** > We had our kitchen renovated, all the way to the studs. Emerson and his crew at Allegiance did an amazing job! The entire crew was professional to deal with, they paid attention to the small details of the project, were tidy and respectful of our home. I have recommended them to others looking for similar jobs to be done, and would again. **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Dan, > Your before and after pictures tell the tale, right ? What a transformation. It was fun to be a part of the changes in your home, we hope you enjoy the new space for many years. **★★★★★ — Greg Porter, Feb. 2019** > We met with several contractors to discuss our kitchen renovation but after meeting with Allegiance we immediately knew they were the best fit for us. They really understood the aesthetic we wanted and were truly excited about our project. All of their crew and subs were very professional, respectful of our home, and took care in their work. Every detail was addressed and even eight months after completion they were back to take care of a few minor issues. Good communication, fun to work with and overall did a terrific job. **Comment from Allegiance Construction & Development, LLC:** > Greg, > Glad you and your family are enjoying the new kitchen. Your selections made it easy to have the job come out looking great. And thank you for taking the time to share your good experience here. **★★★★★ — Jess Katinas/Lowe's Home Improvement, April 2018** > Best team to work with. I've worked with them for over a year now, and I couldn't be more lucky. We have partnered with a great team! **★★★★★ — shazrose, Jan. 2018** > I’m so happy with my new kitchen! Allegiance is headed up by a father-son team, Emersons III and IV, who are wonderful to work with in making your project become a reality. Their team of workers take personal pride in their part of the job and it shows in the finished project! **★★★★★ — joannehines55, Jan. 2018** > Allegiance Construction remodeled our kitchen last summer. They were easy to work with and responsive to all my questions . All the workers were easy to have in the house and I felt comfortable having them in my home everyday. The kitchen turned out wonderful. We love it and would highly recommend Allegiance. **★★★★★ — hppatrick, June 2017** > Alliegiance remodeled our kitchen, 3 bathrooms and installed new flooring and crown molding throughout our home. All work was completed expertly and ahead of schedule. I cannot say enough about the professionalism displayed by all affiliated with our job - friendly, hard working, cleaned everyday upon completion - absolutely respectful of us and our home. I would not hesitate to use their firm again and recommend them highly. ## Selected projects - [Austin St](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/austin-st-pj-vj~6404340) - Location: Newton, MA - Photos: 20 - [Stow Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stow-contemporary-pj-vj~3534785) - Location: Stow, MA - Photos: 7 - [Stow Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stow-reno-pj-vj~5675889) - Location: Stow, MA - Photos: 11 - Description: Beautiful Kitchen and first floor living space remodeled.

It has a cathedral ceiling covered in beadboard with an arched window, and four additional windows which makes it light and inviting. Next to this space is a small 4 by 4 entry to our porch. We can't decide what this area should be. We have tried a rectangle table, a round table, even a garden bench. I've toyed with the idea of a banquette but can't seem to get the design right. We have a breakfast bar with 4 seats that we use for our daily meals. Now I'm thinking of two upholstered chairs with a tall secretary between the windows that we'd use for a sitting area but it seems like we are not capitalizing on this cute space. Our home is cottage style. Help, please! A: I agree with your idea of a banquette, it would be the best use of the space, most usable long term and can even have great storage inside (under?). No how to complete? I always like to see a beadboard finish in that area; seems to make it feel "Homey". And it can be accomplished with a good carpenter for not a bunch of money. Then you go find or have sewn, the cushions for it, in the colors you want. Good luck ! **Q: Pros and cons of side facing garage** *(in Design Dilemma)* Pros and cons of a front vs side facing garage? (We're considering a three car garage, the two car part facing the side of the house and the third facing forward i.e. West facing home, two car portion will open to the south, third car portion opening to the west) A: Side load is nice for front elevation, but be sure there is enough room for the driveway turnaround area. I have built many homes, majority have side load, but a few Owners who insisted on it without ample room, were not happy with the resulting issues and extra maneuvering. And be sure you plan not just for the vehicle you have now (LOL - my truck is a 4 door and long bed - almost 24 feet long). Good luck ! **Q: Ideas on wall decor??** *(in Design Dilemma)* We just shortened the opening into our living/dining room and installed crown molding around it. Any ideas on how to decorate the walls on either side of the opening? Table, paints or picture frames? A: You could add some trim on the walls to create "shadow boxes" and paint them the (white) trim color. Give depth to the area with no obstructions. Also an inexpensive way to jazz up an area. **Q: Rear of my house** *(in Design Dilemma)* The back of my house is boring! I want to paint mynpatio doors but there is white grids inside glass... Not sure how they would look. My white gable is so big but it gets so windy here everything blows away. The back of my house faces a lake with houses on other side so i want to pretty it up back there A: I would also add some plant scapes at columns and use tall items. Need to break up all of that "squareness". **Q: Need Help : Paint colors for entry way** *(in Design Dilemma)* I like gray. The dining room to the right of the entry will be navy and white. The office / living room is undecided. Any thoughts for the entry way? I have up so many gray/ greige colors I am losing my mind! A: Are you planning to tie in the inside of the trim insets? I would use same top color and tie that in, would look great. **Q: Kitchen rehab** *(in Design Dilemma)* Is it best to have the new appliances in place before installing the granite? Or should it be the other way around ...Granite first then appliances? A: The only caveat I would ad, is to have the appliances onsite when the tops are template. That way, template crew has exact measurements, model \#'s and correct info, first hand. I have always done this process this way, with no botched tops ever. Money saved, everyone happy. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
