REMODELING

Recent projects demonstrate that at Charlie Allen Renovations, it’s not about project size or budget — it’s about finding smart solutions that accommodate your needs while maintaining your home’s unique character.

A BETTER BASEMENT

In the basement of this suburban Boston home, an awkward bathroom built to accommodate a home gym was unpleasant and featured a dark and cramped prison-like shower accessed by squeezing through a narrow, tiled entry. We tore down the wall that had separated the shower from the rest of the bath and replaced it with glass. New stone tile lines the walls and bench seating was placed in an inset space at the shower door. A new casement window brightens the space with natural light. We also renovated the adjacent laundry room, adding new windows, tile, and cabinetry, and creating a much more appealing space.

CHIMNEYS AND FIREPLACES

The key to safe wood burning in any home is a proper flue liner.  The highest quality and longest lasting is a cast-in-place masonry liner.  Our poured flue lining system is a unique chimney lining process ideally suited to reline and restore old, damaged, or worn out chimney flues.
