Your Home - Reimagined
🗝️ Specializing in kitchens & bath remodels with layout reconfigurations
📍Greater Boston & South Shore
⬇️Let's Work Together!

We’re all about rethinking awkward spaces and turning them into something practical for today’s modern family! Here, we created a beautiful ensuite Primary Bathroom WITHOUT adding on to the house. How did we do it? By transforming an awkward, underused room (see last photo) across from the Primary Bedroom into not just a bathroom, but also a walk-in closet (you’ll notice the two doors in photo #4 vs. the one in photo #5). Swipe to the last photo to see the same window that now serves as the bathroom window. It’s the same space, I promise!

Our clients wanted their own bathroom, separate from their kids—not necessarily a large one, just a space that felt like theirs. By reimagining this unused room, we delivered exactly that.

FINAL Update in Our “How Long Does a Kitchen Ren

FINAL Update in Our “How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Really Take?” Series

This full kitchen and bathroom renovation in an 1880s Victorian took about 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Here’s what we accomplished:

✅ Demolition of the existing kitchen, first-floor bathroom, and sitting room
✅ Framing for new kitchen and bathroom layouts (in new locations)
✅ Re-leveling floors + installing a new window
✅ New plumbing, electrical, insulation & upgraded heating
✅ Tiled bathroom and mudroom floors
✅ New hardwood flooring throughout
✅ Custom cabinetry, countertops, appliances & backsplash
✅ Bathroom updates: new toilet, vanity, shower, lighting & hardware
✅ Fresh paint
✅ Project management: scheduling, deliveries, subcontractors, weekly client meetings, inspections

Remember, every house in every project is unique so the timeline will vary, but are you thinking about a kitchen renovation but unsure where to start?

We hope this series helped you better understand the Design Build process—and what it’s like to work with a trusted remodeling team.

Let’s talk if you’re ready to plan your own project!

I got a sneak peek today of a completed primary bathroom addition our team just wrapped up. The vanity in that space is the same striking gray-blue as the cabinetry in this photo—and it really works beautifully in any room. (Check out the iPhone photo in stories for a peek!)
⁣
And this laundry room? A great example of how utility spaces can still feel warm and intentional. We mixed painted cabinetry with crown molding, quartz and wood countertops, and added some open shelving for texture and personality. That little backsplash moment and patterned floor tile help finish it off just right.

As April comes to an end and we start a new month

As April comes to an end and we start a new month with new projects, we just wanted to take a moment to say hi—and thanks for being here. Running a business in the age of social media is a wild ride. We’re not here to chase followers, but rather to share—genuinely and honestly—a little more about who we are, how we work, and the kinds of spaces we’re passionate about creating.

If you’re new here—welcome!
We’re Jason and Megan Hoffman, the husband-and-wife team behind J.P. Hoffman Design Build, a family-owned company with over 20 years of experience reimagining homes across the Greater Boston and South Shore area. We specialize in thoughtful, design-forward renovations that blend function, craftsmanship, and character—always with a commitment to doing things the right way.

If you're considering a renovation, we're currently booking kitchens, bathrooms, basement projects, and floor plan reconfigurations for as early as this fall. Let’s talk about what’s possible in your home.

How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation REALLY Take? – Part 9

We’re in the home stretch! The kitchen is now functional for our clients — a huge milestone after weeks of living through construction. While some final touches are still in progress, being able to cook, clean, and gather in the space again is a game changer.

What’s Happening This Week?
✔ Final plumbing
✔ Final electrical
✔ Final paint touch-ups
✔ Awaiting final inspections

Never underestimate the power of a window. In almo

Never underestimate the power of a window.
In almost every kitchen renovation, we look for ways to improve natural light—whether that means enlarging a window, relocating it, or opening up walls.

In this project, removing the wall between the kitchen and former laundry room (now relocated) added space and light to what was once a dark, closed-off area.

Planning a renovation? Let’s talk about how strategic window placement can transform your space.

A retreat at the end of a long day.

This spacious primary suite offers privacy without feeling too far away. Tucked at the end of the hall, it's close enough to reach young kids when needed, but far enough to feel like your own escape.

With a large bedroom, generous walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath, this space checks all the boxes for comfort, function, and a little peace and quiet.

How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation REALLY Take? – Part 8

Week 8 is when a lot of final details come together, making a lasting impact. Paint week may not seem glamorous, but it’s one of the most transformative phases in a renovation.

What’s Happening This Week?
✔ It’s paint time! Prep is everything—especially in an older home.
✔ Patching, sanding, and priming – essential steps for a smooth, crisp finish.
✔ Finish coat begins – pulling the whole space together and setting the tone for the final look.

✨ One unused, formal Dining Room (photos #2 and #3)—transformed into four purposeful spaces:
✔️ A walk-in kitchen pantry
✔️ An expanded foyer

Taking a moment to appreciate this beautifully transformed primary bathroom. Swipe through to see a reverse progression, ending with a before photo—I promise it’s the same space!

We replaced the floor-to-ceiling wall that separated the sinks with a half wall, opening up the space and allowing natural light from the skylight to shine through. Not seen under that skylight? A stackable washer and dryer—checking off a major goal for our clients.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we're highlighting one of our favorite colors—green. From bold accents to subtle details, green adds a refreshing and timeless touch to any space. Here are some of our favorite projects showcasing Megan's favorite color. ☘ 😉

Spring may be right around the corner and we’re here for it! But we’re also still hunkered down, loving game nights. 🧩🎲

We’re firm believers that prominent living spaces (formal living room in this case) can and should still be functional. For these clients, it’s storing games, puzzles and toys for when their grandchildren visit.

Spring is almost here—we can feel it! 🌿

As I look at my own planters in need of a refresh, I can’t help but admire the beautiful ones that complete our clients’ finished front steps. This shot is a favorite—not just for the planters, but for the new garage stonework. Designed to blend seamlessly, it’s a perfect example of how thoughtful craftsmanship creates a timeless look from day one.
