Bedroom Renovation in Massachusetts | Before & After Transformation by Maverick City Builders
This project showcases a complete bedroom renovation in an older Massachusetts home, transforming a dated and underutilized space into a clean, modern, and highly functional room. From initial demolition to final furnishing, every phase of this remodel highlights the craftsmanship, organization, and attention to detail that defines Maverick City Builders (MCB).
The project began with a small bedroom featuring outdated finishes, limited natural light, and worn flooring. During the early renovation stage, walls were carefully opened to expose framing, insulation, and existing structure—allowing for proper upgrades and ensuring long-term durability. The job site remained clean and professionally managed throughout the process, reflecting our commitment to quality and safety.
As the renovation progressed, new drywall was installed and finished to create smooth, paint-ready surfaces. Trim work, including modern baseboards and door casings, was added to elevate the overall look. Flooring was replaced with durable, high-quality materials, bringing warmth and consistency to the space.
In the final stage, the bedroom was fully transformed with fresh neutral paint, crisp white trim, upgraded lighting, and improved brightness from the existing window. The completed space was then furnished as a simple, functional kid’s bedroom—featuring a bed, desk, and storage solutions—designed to be both practical and comfortable without unnecessary luxury.
This before-and-after renovation highlights how strategic upgrades, clean execution, and thoughtful design can completely redefine a space. Maverick City Builders proudly serves Central Massachusetts, delivering high-quality bedroom renovations, home remodeling, and interior upgrades that add long-term value to your home.

This simple kitchen cabinet installation project in Clinton, MA highlights how a clean, practical upgrade can improve the look and function of a smaller everyday kitchen without overcomplicating the design. The home had a basic kitchen layout that needed a refreshed appearance, better cabinet storage, and a cleaner overall finish.
The project began with careful preparation and light demolition of the existing kitchen setup. Our team removed the older cabinetry and prepared the walls and surrounding areas for the new installation. Because this was a straightforward kitchen upgrade, the focus remained on clean lines, efficient storage, and a simple layout that works well for daily use.
As the project progressed, new cabinets were installed to create a more organized and updated kitchen space. The cabinet layout was kept practical and functional, making the room easier to use while giving the kitchen a much fresher appearance. Attention was given to proper alignment, secure installation, and a clean finished look.
Once the cabinets were fully installed, the kitchen was cleaned, staged, and prepared for everyday use. The final result is a simple but effective kitchen upgrade that feels brighter, cleaner, and more functional while still fitting the style of a modest Clinton home.
Projects like this show how even a simple kitchen cabinet upgrade can make a big difference in the way a home feels and functions. Whether the goal is improving storage, updating an older space, or preparing a home for future improvements, a clean cabinet installation is one of the most effective ways to refresh a kitchen.

Tip - When designing expansive decking and pool surrounds, it is important that the chaise lounge, dining, and outdoor patio areas are all large enough for furniture with room to walk around.

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life.
The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time.
The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room.
Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage.
Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee.
We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces.
In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color.
The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook!
Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home.
The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client.
Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients!
We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms.
This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

For this project, moss rock steps offer natural charm from the patio into the spa. Bringing in boulders, soil and plants can create a “set in garden” look that adds charm and beauty to the backyard.
