Franklin, MA Design-Build Firms
Dec 7, 2012
“Repaired a number of issues with the exterior of our house including rotted sofet and replaced the asphalt roof on our porch with a rubber roof (the roof was done by a sub I believe). The work was done int he time expected time frame and looks good. Workers were friendly and kept the work area's clean.”
RemodelWerks LLC

Feb 16, 2013
“Great work ethic, meticulous to detail and enjoyable to work with. Together, Joseph and I designed a beautiful wall cabinet and then it was professionally installed by RemodelWerks's fantastic carpenters. We're getting RW back in to design another cabinet for the study.”
Saltsman Brenzel, Inc.
Franklin, MA Design-Build Firms
Aug 24, 2012
“We hired Saltsman Brenzel to build a new house on the site of a demolished house. We had completed 2 construction projects in the past, with different companies, and our experience with SB was superior in every way. The design of the house is sensitive to the neighborhood and the site, while incorporating our requests. The design/build aspect was seamless, from permitting all the way through to finish work. The budget was kept track of with regular meetings & weekly spread sheets. I would highly recommend SB for a productive, low-stress, and enjoyable construction experience.”
Cutting Edge Homes Inc.
Franklin, MA Design-Build Firms
Sep 11, 2014
“About a year and half ago I worked with Sean Cutting and Cutting Edge Homes to remodel an older home just outside of Boston. The Cutting Edge Team was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process as a first-time remodeler. At the onset of the project, Sean and his Project Managers were very hands-on working directly with me during the initial planning/design phases and clearly explaining the project steps/timeline. They were also extremely conscious of my desired budget range and timeline for the project. Once the renovation started the onsite team was extremely polite, professional and engaging. When I would show up onsite they would take time to explain what they were working on and show the progress they had made. I also received lots of positive feedback from neighbors on my street on the professionalism of the onsite crew. Neighbors were very happy to see that the crew took time at the end of every day to fully clean up the work site. The project met both the timeline and budget parameters that were set forth at the start of the project. The finished project is beautiful and I couldn't be happier with Cutting Edge Homes. I would highly recommend CE Homes to anyone considering a home remodel.”

“Brady and his team renovated the woodwork on the outside of my condo building and built a lovely covering over the front door. Everything was done with great craftsmanship and care. He also rebuilt my deck. Brady is a great problem solver and I would highly recommend him.”
Feinmann, Inc.

“Feinmann remodeled my business as well as our home. Their work is top notch and they are a pleasure to work with. Everyone is highly skilled and polite. I have no hesitation in recommending them highly to my friends and acquaintances.”
PBF Home Renovation & Design, LLC
Franklin, MA Design-Build Firms
Nov 16, 2018
“PBF Home Renovation & Design is an absolute gem! This past fall we hired Pam to take care of our small but mighty bathroom renovation. At 7 months pregnant I could not be bothered with any of the details nor did I have the time to even remotely think about how to get it done. After an initial meeting with Pam and her team, they set to work -- finding us the right resources, re-configuring the space, selecting and sourcing everything from floors to fixtures, color palettes and finishes, and most importantly working within my budget and timeline. Our next big project -- opening up the kitchen and downstairs of our home -- will definitely be handled by PBF!”

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, Franklin design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Franklin, MA, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for Franklin design-builders that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Franklin design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the design-build construction business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
