Remodels & Additions

Our dynamic team handles projects across the spectrum, from large to small, straightforward to complex. Balancing your budget with your dreams to bring a project to life that you really love — that’s our mission.

There’s a lot to consider, and we’ll help you define not only what you wish for, but what makes good sense for you to invest in, allocating resources where you’ll most appreciate the reward. We understand that the decision to stay put and tolerate the months of disruption a remodel brings means you’re especially committed to your home, your neighborhood, and your community.

We’ve developed our approach to design to honor those instincts and your choice to invest in the future of your home. We look forward to helping you shape it into its next best version.

We’re well-versed in navigating the nuances of how to build up, down, or out on lots with a variety of tricky regulations. We lend a strategic eye in the pre-design and feasibility phase of your project to determine the optimal path ahead to meet your needs within the parameters set both by you and the zoning code.

It’s not always what a first glance might suggest, but we offer tried-and-true solutions to ensure we move into design with a game plan that excites you. Rest assured, you’ll have the expertise and support of design professionals who can handle any challenges that arise.

Tackling any kind of remodel means dealing with surprises throughout the process, so working with an experienced team is essential. We may not be able to anticipate every surprise when we’re opening up walls, but we’re pretty sure we’ve seen it all.

We know and love old houses, whether it’s a decade or two of wear and tear, or a hundred years of character. We’ll work with your home’s quirks to preserve what we should, put everything right, and let it shine for its next chapter.

What’s one of the great benefits about working with Board & Vellum? An integrated team under one roof. We’re a lively team that enjoys working together, sharing our space, and engaging in cross-disciplinary design crits.

Even if you haven’t fully engaged all our disciplines, you have easy access to everyone’s expertise, and every project benefits from the unique perspectives of our interdisciplinary teams. Project teams stay together throughout the life of a project, so you’ll have continuity every step of the way.

And, since everyone works on multiple projects, we learn fast, are exposed to new ideas constantly, and pull from our in-house knowledge base frequently, so we know what can work (or not) in pretty much any space or structure.

No matter how your project team is composed, we have resources at the ready to make the most of your project, especially if you decide you’d like to add in some new services along the way.

Making major changes to your home isn’t for the faint of heart, so if that’s the plan, we know you’re truly committed — and so are we. Every project will inevitably face a few challenges, so we foster a dynamic environment to facilitate quick answers and creative solutions to any problem that pops up.

Board & Vellum was built around the belief that we’re here in service of our clients, and we jump in with enthusiasm, humility, and a genuinely collaborative spirit. We’re not your typical design firm and we’d sincerely love the chance to show you why.
