What Types of Remodeling Projects Do You Complete in Kensington?

Managed Renovations provides kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, and whole home renovations throughout Kensington. Whether you're updating a single room or transforming your entire home, our team guides you through every stage of the remodeling process, from planning and pre-construction to the final walkthrough.

What Challenges Come With Remodeling an Older Home in Kensington?

Many Kensington homes were built decades ago, so remodeling projects can uncover outdated plumbing, aging electrical systems, structural modifications, or previous repairs that need to be addressed. Our process emphasizes thorough planning before construction begins, allowing us to identify potential challenges early and reduce unexpected issues during your remodel.

Do You Need Permits to Remodel My Kensington Home?

Most remodeling projects involving structural work, additions, or major renovations require permits. If your home is located within the Town of Kensington or the Kensington Historic District, your project may also require Town review or a Historic Area Work Permit for exterior changes. We help homeowners understand these requirements during the planning phase so the project starts on the right foot.

Can You Remodel a Historic Home in Kensington?

Yes. Remodeling a historic home requires balancing modern functionality with the home's original character. Whether you're opening up living spaces, renovating a kitchen, or building an addition, our team carefully plans each project to complement your home's architecture while accounting for any historic district requirements that may apply.

How Does the Remodeling Process Start?

Every project begins with understanding your goals and evaluating your home. From there, we develop a detailed plan, coordinate with trusted architectural partners when needed, finalize selections before construction, and maintain clear communication throughout the project. Taking the time to plan ahead helps create a smoother remodeling experience with fewer surprises along the way.

1 | Consultation

Everything starts with a conversation, usually right in your home. Michael walks the space with you, listens to what you're hoping to change, and gets a real feel for how you live. It's also where we make sure we're the right fit for each other, because the best projects are built on mutual trust. You'll leave that first meeting with clarity, not a hard sell.

2 | Design & Planning

Once we understand your goals, we map out the scope, budget, and direction together. When your project needs architectural plans, we connect you with our trusted independent architect, who works with you directly. You stay in control of the selections and the big decisions at every step. The result is a plan that fits your home, your taste, and your budget before a single wall comes down.

3 | Construction

This is where the transformation happens, and where Michael stays personally involved. We schedule, manage, and inspect the work ourselves, coordinating vetted licensed subcontractors and keeping you in the loop the whole way through. You'll always know what's happening and what's coming next. When we're done, it should feel less like a renovation and more like the home you always pictured.

What Our Clients Think

"When doing a big renovation in a 100+ year old house, surprises happen. Working with Michael and Natalie always brought us a level of calm and peace that the surprises would be dealt with, that the quality would be first rate, and that there was always an eye towards finding the best value in the solution."

Chuck W.
Whole Home Remodel

"Michael Shannon, Natalie, and all of the crew are consummate professionals: considerate, trustworthy, very skilled, kind, highly communicative, and timely. helpful, and worth every penny, which was very reasonable too. They redid my small powder room, and I trusted them to finish the job while out of town. When I returned, it was completed and looked even better than I had imagined. Every detail was skillfully executed, and their suggestions were on point too. I am very pleased with the entire experience and recommend them as an outstanding company with the best reputation. I will definitely use them again if I can get on their schedule!!"

Piper M.
Bathroom Remodel

"Michael and team did a superb renovation job. The work was completed under tight timelines and Michael is an expert in setting clear and realistic expectations and delivering on them. All the team were highly responsive. We feel that we got what we wanted whereas with most contractors you barely get what you pay for. The quality of the work was consistently high. An added bonus is that they were polite, respectful, and enjoyable to work with."

Benjamin W.
Remodel

"Michael and Managed Renovations helped us with renovating a new house in Colonial Village. The work included a new kitchen, new master bath and closet, and various upgrades throughout the house. Michael cared that the work would be done right — probably even more than we did! Michael consistently showed an attention to detail that went far beyond any of the other contractors we've worked with before. As a result of Michael's suggestions, we've got significantly more space than we expected. Michael's creativity was an added bonus."
