Jeff Veglia Remodeling was established in 1987 offering full scale remodeling and tile services. This business was built on honesty, integrity, and quality to all clients. Our reputation is based on superior quality at a competitive price and most importantly we listen to our customers. We serve Massachusetts. Please email or call rather than Message Center on Angie's List.

"Veglia Remodeling was wonderful to work with. Jeff gave me an estimate for the labor/work on my bathroom remodel. He also suggested vendors to work with and suggested meeting them to choose materials (which was the other cost of course). That was very helpful. Jeff was always available via text or phone. Mostly text. He was the point person if I had concerns. Always gracious. Happy to weigh in if I wasn't sure about something. He has a number of people who he works with and they were all very professional and everyone always cleaned up when they left for the day. I felt very fortunate to have Jeff commit to my project since my bathroom is extremely small (two people standing in it is a crowd) and it can be tough to find someone who will work on a small project."

iCornerstone offers design through construction services and promotes Consumer Controlled Construction as a solution to over-pricing, under performance, unrealistic allowances, and quality issues. We provide designs, labor and material specifications, accurate project costs, camera monitoring, invoice review, project accounting, and construction support that allow the homeowner to act as the general contractor easily and with a minimal time commitment. The first three carry an hourly rate of $100, while the fourth is 15% of the cost of the work as you have defined it. After a free Initial Consultation, we provide a proposal for the cost of our services. Our platform networks regulators, engineers, subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers involved in your project so that everyone knows what everyone else knows, which is the hallmark of transparency and accountability. Everyone is on the same page. Their E-folios resolve the dilemma of "If only I had known, I would have asked." Everyone benefits, and nothing like the platform exists in the industry. Clients must provide us the names of subcontractors we do not know as a means of proving to themselves we do not steer business or have a conflict of interest. This strategy helps our network grow and ensures fairness. Our free, online, Consumer E-Folio / Project Organizer / Property Profile / Research Tool will help you, even if you do not involve us in your project, comes with no strings attached, and respects your privacy. Simply register at icornerstoneinc.com and have fun using it. We claim three remarkable achievements: no client has ever gone over budget; no subcontractor has ever been overpaid or unpaid without cause; and all clients receive the highest quality at the lowest price.

We are a full service home building company that has completed residential home construction in over 20 different cities and towns in Massachusetts & New Hampshire. We have a team of engineers, architects, carpenters, plumbers, and electricians that provide top notch quality at competitive pricing. Customer service and responsivneness are a very important part of this company. You will always have a return phone call as soon as possible and our workers take great pride in their work with professionalism and a great attitude. Our projects are completed on time, on budget, and our customer's happiness is our number one priority. If you are looking for an honest contractor with a proven track record, please call or email today!

"Our project consisted of the conversion of two bedrooms and a spare room into a Primary Suite, with Bedroom, Bathroom, walk-in closet and separate laundry. From the moment we started to the finish, we were continually in awe of the coordination with and by Ryan, the pleasure of working with his top tier crew and subs, and the finished product. As the start date approached, Ryan made the decision to start two weeks early, in consideration of finishing prior to Thanksgiving. He dealt easily with unique questions from the local Historical Committee, and finished the project exactly on schedule. Our house is over 100 years old, and we were interested in maintaining the charm, while providing all the modern amenities. The result is outstanding, and due in large part to the inputs from Ryan and his team. Our tile and shower install by Lance is perfect. Original doorknobs were retrofitted onto every new door. Where doorways into adjacent rooms were removed – you can’t tell they were ever there. Josh from Charbot Electric showed us some options, and the resulting lighting and electric solutions adapted perfectly. New plumbing was run using existing chase-ways through the house that resulted in significantly less contingency and really clean work. We watched in admiration as Dale cut out a section of wall with one hand and sucked up any dust with a vacuum in his other hand. And the wall repair later is invisible. We happily converted heat from hybrid baseboard and radiator steam to just baseboard. And it was finished off in grand form with wallpaper by Tim, and matched to the house new or refinished hardwood floors by Drago. We enjoyed our interaction with every person assigned to our project, and had zero negative interactions over three months. Cost mattered to us. We met with several builders, several of whom told us it was too complicated to make any commitments. Ryan, after some thought and a fresh design, presented a fair and reasonable proposal to a complex job with several unknowns. Contingencies were controlled. We certainly exceeded the amenity allowance in order to maintain the charm and meet our vision, but overall, we got an awesome return on our investment and every decision was our own. We anticipate another major project in two years. We will not call anyone but Ryan Norman and his team of consummate professionals."

Locally owned business with over 12 years of experience. Custom Paver Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and driveways. We also offer full clean up landscaping, hardscaping, and stone work. Passionate about serving our local community and continuing to deliver great customer service. Feel free to call or text with questions regarding your projects. Look forward to working with you on all your home endeavors.

"M&L Landscaping Construction is absolutely incredible! You will not regret hiring Leo and his team for your project. I first hired Leo for one job, and after seeing the quality, precision, and care in his work, I immediately brought him back for a second. The first project included pavers, a retaining wall with built-in seating, a garden bed, patio/paver installation, fence installation, and a composite deck with stairs. The second project was for my rental property and involved an insurance claim to repair the facade of the house. That work included installing stone veneers on the front of my home, constructing a new deck with a roof, building a stone wall with fencing, and completing a blacktop driveway. What truly sets M&L apart is not just the beauty and craftsmanship of their work, but the professionalism, organization, and integrity behind it. Leo’s team is respectful of your property, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They take pride in what they do and it shows in every detail—from layout precision to cleanup after completion. Equally impressive is how Leo manages the business side of things. He’s communicative, transparent, and extremely reliable—qualities that are rare to find in the contracting world. He provides clear timelines, fair pricing, and proactive updates, so you always know where things stand. Having worked with many contractors over the years, I can confidently say that M&L Landscaping Construction is top-notch from start to finish. I was so impressed that I even referred my parents for their driveway paver installation—and, just as expected, it came out beautiful. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and professional landscaping and construction team, hire M&L Landscaping Construction. You’ll be glad you did!"

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts

Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.

Time to reinvent your morning routine? Start your shower remodeling process by researching shower installers and fitters in your area. These pros can handle everything from sourcing materials to making sure your installation is sealed properly. Once you find the right team:

  • Determine your budget

  • Discuss the extent of your remodel with your contractor

  • Hire an interior designer if necessary

  • Choose a plumber for more extensive projects

Shower remodels cover everything from updating tiles to replacing an old bathtub, so tailor the project to your unique vision.

Whether you need a permit to demo your bathroom depends on the project scope and local regulations. Major structural changes require a building permit, like pulling down a load-bearing wall or removing lead paint or asbestos from an old bathroom. If you’re relocating plumbing, you might need permission to cap off the existing water and sewer lines. Because requirements vary by municipality, if there’s any doubt, always check local building department rules.

It’s possible to convert a bathroom into a wet room, but it often requires extensive renovations. You’d likely need to remove the floors to install drainage and a new floor over that, remove drywall outside the shower area, and replace it with cement backer board covered in a waterproofing material. You’d also need to remove the existing shower, waterproof the walls, and install fixtures to create a more open, curbless shower space.

By code, the smallest a bathroom can be is 60 inches wide by 56 inches deep to be considered accessible. An area of 16 to 20 square feet is enough to accommodate a toilet and sink with sufficient clearance. Usually, a space that’s three or four feet by six to eight feet is big enough for a half bath to be added.
