COVER FEATURE PHOTOS © DIANE ANTON When working on existing foundations of historic and renovation projects, Kenwood Builders is well-known for its ability to secure the home in place above the old foundation and build a new one directly in its place, rather than move the house laterally off of its base, construct the new foundation and move it back. This provides a dramatic reduction in labor expenses and delivery time for the customer. "We also can move the home off of its foundation and do a new foundation in a timely and efficient manner," Gerry adds. "Another one of our specialties is to design and build a new garage into the home's structure," Boris says. "Our ability to provide this specialty service to our clients has been the deciding factor to land some contracts with great clients. Our customers are thrilled with the timeliness, the savings and the quality of our craftsmanship." " We see our future as building more custom homes," Gerry says. "Having said that, we will continue to build our spec homes as if we were going to live in them. We try to put ourselves in the customer's place and ask, 'Would I want to live in this house for a long time?' "We design and build each home using every inch of space to make the home more livable and enjoyable." A renovation in Newton, replete with stringent wetland regulations and municipal historic restrictions and requirements, exemplifies Kenwood Builders' attention to intricate details.
