Before & After North Andover MA

This North Andover property was in excellent condition but still needed landscaping, a kitchen renovation and certain changes to get it into shape.

Before: This picture makes this kitchen look pretty nice but it had some major flaws. The cook top (electric) was crammed next to the large double oven and had a low cabinet hanging over it making it difficult to use and really not functional in a kitchen desired by most people today. It had an ugly tile floor and the cabinets we’re also in bad shape although you can’t tell from the picture

After: The double ovens and cook top we’re removed and replaced with a 36″ Delonghi 5 burner range. The cabinets we’re replaced (home depot | Reading | ask for Greg) and granite counter tops added. (StoneOne Marble and Granite). The Tile was ripped out and hardwood floors installed which really changed the look of the room.
