Design-build remodeling in Beverly

On a separate architect-and-general-contractor path, the drawings, the budget, and the field work belong to three different parties, and any gap between them becomes the homeowner’s problem to solve mid-project. Any Season Design Build runs design, pre-construction, permitting, construction, project management, and finish work as one team, so the person who drew the kitchen is accountable for how it actually gets built.

Any Season also runs its own millwork shop. Cabinetry, built-ins, and architectural trim are designed and produced in-house rather than ordered from a catalogue and adjusted on site to fit. On a kitchen, an addition, or a whole-home renovation, that in-house control over finish carpentry is often the difference between a space that looks drawn and a space that looks built for the house.

Jason DeVincenzo, who owns and runs the firm, has spent more than twenty years building, starting with a painting company before moving into custom construction. The firm carries $2,000,000 in liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and builder’s risk coverage where the project calls for it, works only with licensed sub-tradespeople, and backs its work with a three-year warranty.

The homes we work on here

Beverly is not one housing stock; it is four, and each one shows up differently in a remodel.

  • The colonial core, downtown and along the older streets near Cabot and Rantoul, where original framing, low ceiling heights, and irregular room shapes shape what a kitchen or addition can actually do.
  • Goat Hill and Fish Flake Hill, workers’ housing tied to Beverly’s shoe manufacturing era, dense lots with tight side yards, closely built neighbors, and modest original footprints that make additions a question of setbacks and access as much as design.
  • The Gold Coast, larger estate-scale properties along the water, where scope tends toward whole-home renovation, additions that read as original to the house, and finish work that has to match an established level of craft already on the property.
  • North Beverly’s streetcar suburbs, built up around the 1890s trolley lines, with the deeper lots and taller ceiling heights typical of that period, and a housing stock that renovates well for family-sized additions.
  • The post-war southwest neighborhoods are mid-century construction with more standard framing and fewer surprises during demolition, which usually means more of the budget can go toward finishes rather than structural correction.

What most of these houses share is a builder who has not planned for what is behind the walls. Foundation depth and frost line matter on any addition tying into an older foundation. A basement conversion has to clear real egress and headroom requirements, not just feel finished. And on a load-bearing wall, the question is never whether it can come out; it is what has to go in above it, and what that costs.

What we do in Beverly

  • Kitchen Remodeling: layout changes, structural work where a wall needs to move, and cabinetry built in-house to fit the actual room instead of a stock size.
  • Bathroom Remodeling: full gut renovations and layout changes, including the plumbing and structural work that older Beverly bathrooms often require.
  • Home Additions: additions designed to match an existing roofline, siding reveal, and window proportion, so the new work reads as part of the house rather than attached to it.
  • ADU and Accessory Dwelling Units: in-law suites and accessory units on lots where setback and access constraints, especially on the tighter parcels around Goat Hill and Fish Flake Hill, shape what is buildable.
  • Whole-Home Renovation: full-property projects that touch layout, systems, and finish work together, common on the larger Gold Coast properties and older colonial-core houses being brought up to how a family actually lives now.

Working with Beverly's review process

Beverly enforces a 12-month demolition delay on qualifying older buildings. That rule reaches further than most homeowners expect. It is not limited to landmark properties. A partial demolition inside an addition or a whole-home renovation, removing an exterior wall to build out, can trigger the same review as tearing a building down outright. On the tighter, denser lots around Goat Hill and Fish Flake Hill in particular, this is a scheduling question that needs to be answered before a design is finalized, not after.

How a project runs

Any Season’s process follows the same four stages on every project, from a kitchen to a full addition.

  1. Meet and Imagine: we walk the house, talk through how the space is used now and what is not working, and get a first sense of scope.
  2. Design with Intention: the design is developed against the house itself, including the structural and site conditions that will affect what is buildable.
  3. Plan with Confidence: permitting, pricing, and scheduling are worked out before construction starts, including any local review the project will need to clear.
  4. Build with Care: one team carries the project from framing through finish work, including cabinetry and millwork built in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle projects in Beverly Farms or Prides Crossing?

Yes, though that market is distinct enough from Beverly proper- estate-scale properties, Olmsted landscape work, the character tied to the old rail spur- that we cover it on its own page rather than folding it into this one. See our Beverly Farms remodeling page for that area specifically.
It depends on whether the project involves any qualifying demolition, including partial demolition as part of an addition. We flag this during design, before permitting, so it is built into the schedule rather than discovered midway through.
Often, yes. The real question is what structural support goes in to replace it, a beam, additional framing, sometimes new footings, and that gets worked out and priced during design, not guessed at once the wall is open.
Design, pre-construction, permitting, and construction are handled by one team throughout the project, which is the core of how Any Season works.
Cabinetry and built-ins are designed and produced by Any Season’s own millwork shop as part of the project, not sourced separately and fitted in afterward.
