Your Licensed Home Improvement Contractor
Choosing a licensed home improvement contractor isn't just good practice—in Massachusetts, it's required by law for any project over $1,000. At Appropriate Home Design, we hold Home Improvement Contractor License #177590 and Construction Supervisor License #CS62739, ensuring your project is completed by qualified professionals who meet state standards for competency, financial responsibility, and consumer protection.

More importantly, our decades of experience mean we know how to handle the unexpected, solve problems creatively, and deliver results that exceed expectations while staying on schedule and within budget.
