Your Home - Reimagined

Design decisions can feel overwhelming when you’re not sure where to start.

For this kitchen renovation, the homeowners wanted better flow, updated finishes, and a more functional layout, but they also wanted to preserve the rustic character they loved.

By removing a wall, updating the flooring, cabinetry, and backsplash, and guiding each design decision along the way, the finished kitchen now feels open, beautiful, and true to the home.

We’re grateful for kind words like these and for clients who trust J.P. Hoffman Design Build with such an important part of their home.

A bathroom has the potential to be so much more than a place to move through.

It can be where the day begins slowly, with light pouring in and space to get ready without feeling rushed.

It can be where the day ends quietly, with a warm bath, soft finishes, and room to exhale.

For this primary bathroom, every detail was designed to feel calm, open, and restorative.

A space that’s beautiful to look at, and even better to experience.

Think your basement ceilings are too low to ever f

Think your basement ceilings are too low to ever feel like real living space?

You may have more options than you think.

Low ceiling height is common in older homes, and in this 1880s house, the existing basement was especially shallow. At first glance, it could have felt like something the homeowners were simply stuck with.

Instead, our team looked at what was possible. Rather than lifting the house, we dug down, removed the old slab, and poured a new concrete slab with a vapor barrier below it.

That slab was tied into an integrated stepped footing with rebar, creating one solid structure that allowed us to gain height while protecting the integrity of the home.

It’s complex work, but it’s also what made this basement possible.

If your basement has low clearance, it doesn’t mean the space is off limits.

We have the same renovation thoughts you do. Let me explain…

Back to school week always feels like a little reset around here. New routines, busy schedules, and another reminder of just how quickly time goes by.

It also happens to be our work anniversary! This year marks 8 years since I joined Jason at J.P. Hoffman Design Build. ❤️

A lot has changed in those eight years. Our team has grown, our kids have grown, and the business has grown right alongside us. And while we spend our days helping other people figure out how to make their homes work better, we have plenty of those same conversations at our own kitchen table.

Do we renovate or move? Is now the right time? What makes the most sense for our family? Will we still love this decision five years from now?

Turns out, knowing a lot about remodeling doesn’t make those decisions any easier when it’s your own home. 😂
I think that’s one of the things that keeps this work personal for us. We understand that a renovation is about so much more than finishes and floor plans. It’s about how you live, what your family needs, and making a decision you feel good about for years to come.

So, as we celebrate eight years, it felt fitting to share a new photo of the people behind the projects.

Feeling grateful for this business, our team, our clients, and the life we’ve built around it. 🏡

For this South Shore kitchen renovation, the goal

For this South Shore kitchen renovation, the goal was to make the pantry feel intentional, and connected to the rest of the space.

We carried the same white oak used on the island and range hood valance into the pantry framing and shelving.

Inside, the pantry adds everyday function with accessible snack storage for the kids, outlets for a coffee station, and under-shelf lighting that brings in the feel of custom under-cabinet lighting.

Now, whether the doors are open or closed, the pantry feels like a natural extension of the kitchen.

Quality craftsmanship means a lot. Earning a client’s trust means even more.

We’re grateful for kind words like this and for the opportunity to help homeowners feel confident throughout the renovation process, from planning through final walkthrough.

“J.P. Hoffman provided us with workmanship of the highest quality, on time and within budget. Jason Hoffman, the principal of this firm, is exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of each component of our project and singularly pleasant to deal with. We could not be more satisfied with the results he gave us. I would be very likely to recommend this firm first if a family member or friend needed a contractor.”

"Founder and CEO Jason Hoffman shares a high-level

"Founder and CEO Jason Hoffman shares a high-level perspective on choosing between design-build and traditional remodeling.

Both approaches have their place. The key is knowing which one fits your project.

If you’re happy with your layout and simply want to refresh finishes, traditional remodeling may be the right fit.

But when the challenges involve flow, function, storage, walls, cabinetry, or how the space works day to day, design-build offers a more complete process from the start.

It begins by understanding what’s working, what isn’t, and sometimes uncovering needs you may not have noticed. With a full understanding of your existing space and goals, the design and construction team can solve the right problems from the beginning.

That’s when thoughtful design becomes more than a finish upgrade. It becomes a better way to live in your home.

Smaller living spaces don’t have to feel small. It’s all about designing for the way you live.

For this Cohasset condo, we created an open, light-filled kitchen with custom cabinetry for added storage and function. Hardwood floors, an ocean-blue island, and gold fixtures bring warmth and balance.

Just off the kitchen, the powder room extends that same thoughtful approach. Textured wallpaper and picture-frame moulding add warmth and architectural interest to a compact space.

Because in small spaces, every detail matters.

Project Highlight: Newton Bathroom Renovations

These two upstairs bathrooms in a 1930s Colonial had vintage charm but lacked function, storage, and everyday comfort.

In the primary bathroom, we bumped out the wall to create room for a walk-in shower and double vanity. A pocket door, recessed medicine cabinets, and expanded storage made the best use of this limited space. The result is a calm, elevated primary bath that feels much more open and usable.

In the guest bathroom, we kept the footprint largely the same but looked for ways to make the space work harder. A recessed linen cabinet adds storage without taking up floor space, and the glass panel above the shower wall preserves natural light.

Homes with history come with character, charm, and

Homes with history come with character, charm, and sometimes a little “wonkiness.”

That’s exactly why thoughtful planning matters.

For this antique Cape, our team renovated the kitchen, bathroom, and home office while making sure each space still felt true to the 200-year-old home. From the first design conversations to the final details, the goal was to create much-needed updates without losing the character that made the home special in the first place.

We’re so grateful for kind words like these from our clients:

“JP Hoffman renovated our kitchen, bathroom, and home office this summer and they did a phenomenal job… We love our new kitchen, bathroom, and office, and what is almost too good to believe is that these spaces still feel true to the 200 year old house, despite being much needed updates.” - Louis Steinberg

What goes underneath your flooring matters just as

What goes underneath your flooring matters just as much as what you see on top.

For basement projects, we’re big believers in starting with the right subfloor system. This product has a rigid core with drainage channels underneath and interlocking 2x2 panels that float over the concrete slab.

Once moisture issues are addressed upfront, this creates a stronger, more reliable substrate for the finished flooring, whether that’s LVP, carpet, or even hardwood.

It’s one of those behind-the-scenes steps that makes a finished basement feel less like a basement and more like a true extension of the home.

Choosing flooring isn’t just about the look. It’s

Choosing flooring isn’t just about the look. It’s about how the material will live in your home.

Hardwood, engineered wood, and LVP each have their place.

Solid hardwood brings timeless warmth and can be refinished over time.

Engineered wood offers the look of real wood with added stability in spaces where temperature or humidity may fluctuate.

LVP is durable, low-maintenance, and especially practical for moisture-prone areas like finished basements.

During the design phase, our team helps clients look at lifestyle, environment, budget, and design goals so the flooring feels beautiful, practical, and right for the way they live.

It’s the kind of detail you might not think about

It’s the kind of detail you might not think about until you see it done well.

When tile and hardwood flooring meet, the transition can make a big difference in how finished the space feels. One way to create a clean connection is with a Schluter edge, which allows the tile installer to bring the tile right up to the hardwood for a smooth, seamless transition.

No bulky threshold. No awkward break between rooms. Just a simple, polished detail that helps the two floors feel intentional together.

Before, this kitchen and dining area felt dark, small, and closed off from the rest of the home.

The homeowners had already renovated other areas, so this space no longer matched the elevated look and feel they had created throughout the house. They wanted the kitchen to feel just as thoughtful, finished, and connected.

We opened up the layout, brought in more natural light, and created better flow between the kitchen, dining area, and backyard. Since the sink already had a great location beneath the window, we kept it in place and focused on making smart changes where they mattered most, including a 12-foot slider that connects directly to the existing deck.

The result is a bright, welcoming L-shaped kitchen with a large island for prepping, gathering, and entertaining. The pantry brings in the same white oak accents used throughout the kitchen, so whether the doors are open or closed, it feels like an intentional part of the room.

Renovation work can be disruptive, but the process

Renovation work can be disruptive, but the process shouldn’t take over your whole home.

In most projects, our clients are still living in the house while the work is underway, so we take that seriously. Our team plans ahead to keep the renovation as contained and unobtrusive as possible, from closing off the work area to help control dust to keeping the space organized and tidy throughout the process.

It’s part of respecting the home, the people living in it, and the trust our clients place in us.

Sharing a little more about one of our latest projects in stories, and in the “Split Level” Story Highlight. A few key callouts….

1. Whole Home remodel with kitchen, living and dining on main level and family room, bathroom, laundry room, office and storage on basement level. Plus new deck!

2. Fireplace - just swipe right to see where we started

3. Our clients had been planning a remodel for a long time. This doesn’t happen overnight. Lots of planning, decision making, questioning said decisions and behind the scenes conversations got them to this point. We’re grateful to be guiding them. 😊

From rendering to reality.

For this guest bathroom update, the goal was to make a smaller space feel more open, polished, and functional.

The new shower brings a clean, elevated feel to the room, while recessed cabinetry helps optimize storage without taking up valuable floor space. Comparing the 3D renderings to the final bathroom shows how thoughtful planning helps every detail come together before construction begins.

A beautiful example of how smart design can make even a compact bathroom work harder.

Every inch matters, especially in a basement.

Under the stairs was one of the few spaces in this farmhouse basement that wasn’t taken up by another staircase, so we knew it needed to work a little harder.

Instead of leaving it unused, we turned it into a custom whiteboard wall for games, notes, and everyday creativity. Then, to make the most of the storage opportunity, we added built-in drawers below with a clean, push-to-open design and no visible hardware.

The result is playful, practical, and streamlined, exactly what a well-designed family space should be.
