Spencer Ave

Working from the studs up, we completed a full-scale renovation of this historic Victorian home in Irvington—bringing it back to life while preserving the character that defines the neighborhood. Every major system was replaced, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and roofing, making the home functionally comparable to new construction. Original architectural details were thoughtfully restored while the layout was refined to improve flow and everyday livability. The kitchen and baths were fully redesigned with updated cabinetry, quality finishes, and cohesive materials that complement the home's timeless aesthetic. The result is a turnkey property that honors its Victorian roots while delivering the reliability and comfort of a brand-new home.

On this side of the duplex, we completed a more extensive renovation, fully reworking the layout to create a true open-concept kitchen and living space. The kitchen was redesigned with high-end touches, including a pot filler at the oven, updated cabinetry, and cohesive, modern finishes throughout. Working closely with a designer, we incorporated custom accents to elevate the space while maintaining functionality and flow. For added privacy between units, a new soundproofing wall was installed, improving the overall living experience. The result is a thoughtfully upgraded unit that blends modern design, high-end features, and long-term livability.

Working closely with a designer, we fully renovated both sides of this townhouse-style duplex to create modern, functional living spaces. The kitchens were opened to create a better flow between rooms, featuring updated cabinetry, improved layouts, and clean, timeless finishes. Custom accent walls in the bedrooms and bar areas add character and help each unit stand out. The renovation focused on both quality and long-term appeal, with thoughtful details like a pot filler, upgraded fixtures, and cohesive material selections throughout. Completed to meet—and exceed—the standards of the Holy Cross neighborhood, the result is a turnkey property that combines modern design with lasting craftsmanship.

We removed the dated carpet and installed durable LVP flooring throughout, painted all cabinetry, added new hardware, updated the appliances, and completed a full interior paint.

How It Works
GateHouse Platform

Everything Homeowners Ask Before Starting
a Renovation

How does GateHouse protect me from bad contractors?

GateHouse works only with vetted contractors who meet licensing, insurance, and quality standards. We also oversee the renovation process and structure payments through milestones, ensuring work meets expectations before funds are released.

Do I have to meet multiple contractors myself?

No. GateHouse handles the contractor search and vetting for you. We collect multiple bids, compare them side by side, and present you with clear options — so you never have to chase down contractors or sit through awkward sales pitches.

How are contractors vetted?

Every contractor in our network is checked for valid licensing, insurance, past project quality, and homeowner reviews. We only work with professionals who consistently meet our standards for reliability and craftsmanship.

What if I don't know what questions to ask contractors?

That's exactly why GateHouse exists. Our team guides you through the entire process, asking the right questions on your behalf and making sure nothing falls through the cracks — even if this is your first renovation.

What if something goes wrong during the renovation?

Your dedicated project manager acts as your advocate. If issues arise, we step in to resolve them directly with the contractor. Plus, milestone payments mean the contractor is only paid for work that meets your approval.

How do milestone payments protect me?

Your renovation budget is divided into milestones tied to specific project phases. Funds are only released when each milestone is completed and approved, so you never pay for unfinished work.

How do I know the renovation will stay on budget?

We lock in pricing upfront with detailed scopes of work. If anything changes, you'll be informed and must approve it before additional costs are incurred. No surprise invoices, no hidden fees.

Will I know what's happening during the renovation?

Absolutely. Your project manager provides regular updates with photos and progress reports. You'll always know exactly where things stand without having to chase anyone down.

How do I know I'm getting a fair price?

GateHouse collects multiple competitive bids for your project and presents them transparently. You can compare pricing, timelines, and scope side by side — so you always make an informed decision.

What if I've never done a renovation before?

Most of our homeowners are first-timers. GateHouse was built specifically to take the guesswork out of renovations — from finding the right contractor to managing the entire project on your behalf.
