GET A FREE ESTIMATEKitchen Remodeling
$16,000–$140,000
Cabinet refacing, new custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and full layout changes. The post-war capes around Lancaster Center often have closed-off galley kitchens well-suited to open-concept conversions, while the older Main Street colonials near Route 70 usually need drain and wiring updates behind the walls before the finish work goes in.
Bathroom Remodeling
$8,000–$125,000
Full tile gut renovations, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity and fixture upgrades, and second-bath additions. Many Lancaster homes outside the town center sit on private well and septic, so we confirm supply-line and drain routing against the existing system during the estimate — well-water fixtures and septic-aware drain work are routine here, not an afterthought.
Deck Building
$10,000–$60,000
Composite and pressure-treated decks with aluminum railing and proper footings. The larger lots off George Hill Road and Old Common Road are ideal for full-size decks, and on septic properties we site the footings clear of the leach field. All deck permits are filed through the Lancaster Building Department at the Prescott Building on Main Street.

Lancaster is our home town and one of the oldest communities in Massachusetts, settled in 1653. That history shows up in the housing: the Main Street and Route 70 corridor and the streets around Lancaster Center are lined with antique colonials and farmhouses, including Federal and Greek Revival homes that predate 1900. Remodeling these houses is its own discipline — original framing, plaster walls, and period trim all have to be respected while the systems behind them are brought up to modern standard.
The town has several distinct pockets. South Lancaster, home to Atlantic Union College, mixes historic homes with steadier residential streets. North Village and the area near the Nashua River and the Bolton Flats sit lower and more rural. Newer construction — post-war capes and later subdivisions — spreads out along George Hill Road and Old Common Road, where lots are larger and better suited to additions and full-size decks. Each of these areas asks a slightly different question of a remodel, from tight antique footprints in the center to more open, modern layouts on the outskirts.
Many Lancaster homes outside the center are on private well and septic rather than municipal service. That matters for kitchen and bathroom work: drain routing, added fixtures, and any excavation for a deck footing all have to account for the septic system and leach field. We identify well and septic conditions during the estimate walk-through and build that reality into the plan, so a bath addition or a kitchen relocation does not run into a system conflict after demolition has already started.
Permits for remodeling in Lancaster are filed with the Lancaster Building Department at the Prescott Building, 701 Main Street. Most kitchen, bathroom, and deck projects need a building permit along with electrical and plumbing permits, and antique-home work sometimes brings additional structural review. Maverick City Builders prepares and files every application, coordinates the inspections, and keeps the paperwork moving so the project stays on schedule. Every Lancaster job is run under that supervision.

How does Lancaster's antique housing stock affect a remodel?
Lancaster was settled in 1653 and much of its housing is pre-1900 — Federal and Greek Revival colonials and farmhouses along Main Street and Route 70. Older homes often need sistered joists, plaster repair, period-correct trim, and updated wiring and plumbing behind the walls before finish work begins. We scope those conditions during the estimate so the price reflects the real work, not a surprise mid-project.
How do building permits work for a Lancaster remodel?
Permits are filed with the Lancaster Building Department at the Prescott Building, 701 Main Street. Kitchen, bathroom, and deck projects typically require a building permit plus electrical and plumbing permits, and homes outside the center on private well and septic may need extra review for drain and fixture work. MCB prepares and files every application and schedules the inspections — homeowners do not deal with the counter themselves.
What are the most common remodeling projects in Lancaster homes?
The most common Lancaster projects are kitchen updates in Lancaster Center capes, full kitchen and layout changes in Main Street colonials, hall-bath gut renovations, composite decks on the larger lots off George Hill Road and Old Common Road, and carpentry restoration in the town's antique farmhouses. Well and septic considerations shape a lot of bath and kitchen-drain work outside the town center.
