This existing client reached out to MMI Design for help shortly after the flood waters of Harvey subsided. Her home was ravaged by 5 feet of water throughout the first floor. What had been this client's long-term dream renovation became a reality, turning the nightmare of Harvey's wrath into one of the loveliest homes designed to date by MMI. We led the team to transform this home into a showplace. Our work included a complete redesign of her kitchen and family room, master bathroom, two powders, butler's pantry, and a large living room. MMI designed all millwork and cabinetry, adjusted the floor plans in various rooms, and assisted the client with all material specifications and furnishings selections. Returning these clients to their beautiful '"new" home is one of MMI's proudest moments!

Located in the historic district of New Bedford, MA, this single family Greek Revival home recently got a new look. The natural cedar shingles were aging and were replaced with maintenance-free vinyl siding. In order to keep the historic appeal of the home, Carvedwood 44® siding by Mastic was chose by the homeowners. Victorian Grey was used on the sides and rear of the home to mimic the look of authentic cedar shingles, and Russet Red siding was used for the front. Carvedwood 44® delivers strength, durability and the beauty of real wood in a maintenance free material. Carvedwood 44® is offered in 23 colors, 6 profiles and either smooth or wood grain finishes. Mastic Accent trim in white and a new Smooth Start ThermaTru entry door added the finishing touches to the home renovation.
