Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work on kitchens?
Yes — Porter Square Contracting focuses exclusively on kitchen remodels, from small updates to full renovations, so every project gets our full attention and expertise.
Do I need a permit for my kitchen remodel?
It depends on the scope. Work involving plumbing, electrical, gas lines, or structural changes typically requires a permit in Massachusetts, and requirements vary by town. We handle permitting as part of the project.
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?
A small update can take a few weeks; a full gut renovation is usually 6–12 weeks depending on scope, material lead times, and any structural work involved.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. We start every project with a free, no-obligation in-home consultation to walk through your space and talk through goals and budget.
What towns do you serve?
We’re based in Waltham and serve the surrounding MetroWest area, including Needham, Natick, Newton, Weston, Wayland, Dover, and Dedham.
