Verified record
Back Bay Design Corp. is a Woburn design-build shop that has specialized in residential restoration, remodeling, and new construction since 1996, according to its own site. Dan Beliveau runs the company, and its work skews toward older homes and brownstones — the kind of project where design and construction stay under one roof rather than getting handed off between separate firms. There's no customer-review history yet on Houzz, so the read here leans on the kind of work that has surfaced in the press instead. A Boston Globe piece named the company as the contractor on a green-kitchen design job, and a Nahant historical society writeup credits Back Bay Design with returning a longtime landmark estate to its earlier grandeur — the kind of preservation work that takes patience with an old building rather than a quick remodel. The company's reach beyond construction is worth knowing about too: in 2017, the Winthrop Transcript reported Dan and Rick Beliveau of Back Bay Design Corp. looking to buy a Winthrop property for a multi-unit condo redevelopment, with bank financing pending on securing parking. Worth asking directly about recent project references and current availability — the public record here is a handful of notable jobs over the years rather than a steady stream of homeowner reviews.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Back Bay Design Corp.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
