Cecil Design and Remodel
Our Goal
Remodeling an existing home is not just a construction project — it’s a long-term decision that affects how your family lives every day.
Older New England homes come with hidden complexities: aging systems, inefficient layouts, and details worth preserving. Our work begins with understanding those realities and planning carefully, so the finished home feels cohesive, durable, and aligned with how you actually live.
We specialize in comprehensive remodels, not quick fixes or surface-level updates.
Our Signature Service
in Central New Hampshire
Our work focuses on comprehensive remodels that improve how a home functions — not just how it looks.
Whole-Home Renewal projects often include:
-
Reworking layouts to improve flow and daily use
-
Kitchen and bathroom remodels integrated into the larger home
-
Energy efficiency, insulation, and airflow improvements
-
Thoughtful additions where needed
-
Material and system choices designed for longevity and health
These projects require planning, collaboration, and trust — and they deliver homes that truly support family life.
Our Whole-Home Renewal service is designed for homeowners in Hopkinton and surrounding New Hampshire communities who want to improve how their existing homes function without sacrificing character or longevity.
We frequently work in Concord, New London, Sunapee, and nearby towns where established homes benefit from careful planning and experienced design-build guidance.
About Us
Building Homes With Intention
We started our design-build company after stepping away from careers in healthcare and government finance — not because we wanted a change, but because we wanted to make a difference and follow our passions.
Before construction, we spent years in fields centered around systems, planning, accountability, and human well-being. Those backgrounds shape how we approach building today: with care, structure, and respect for the impact homes have on daily life.
WHY WE DO THIS WORK
Homes are not disposable. They hold families, routines, memories, and futures.
Too often, remodels are rushed, under-planned, or driven by trends that don’t age well. We believe existing homes — especially established New England homes — deserve thoughtful care and long-term thinking.
Our work is focused on helping families adapt their homes to changing needs without unnecessary waste or short-term decisions.
HOW WE APPROACH PROJECTS
-
We prioritize planning before construction
-
We consider health, durability, and performance
-
We communicate clearly and honestly about budgets and scope
-
We choose solutions designed to last, not just impress
We don’t believe good building should feel chaotic or adversarial. A remodel can be complex without being overwhelming when it’s approached with clarity and intention.
A NOTE ON FIT
We work with a limited number of clients each year so we can stay deeply involved in every project.
That means we’re selective — not because we’re exclusive, but because the quality of the process matters as much as the finished home.
If our approach resonates with you, there’s a good chance we’ll work well together.
We are based in Hopkinton, New Hampshire — a community known for its historic homes and strong sense of place. Much of our work takes place in towns with established housing stock throughout central New Hampshire, where thoughtful remodeling and long-term care matter more than trends.
We're a Good Fit For Homeowners Who:
-
Plan to stay in their home long-term
-
Value careful planning and clear communication
-
Want guidance, not just labor
-
Care about durability, health, and long-term performance
-
Prefer a calm, thoughtful process over speed
We're Probably Not the Right Fit If You're:
-
Price shopping or collecting bids
-
Looking for the lowest-cost option
-
Renovating for resale or investment
-
Hoping to start construction immediately without planning
