  We selected Cottage to reconfigure and fully renovate the first floor our 1896 stone home. From beginning to end, Adam and team were responsive and easy to work with. It was a large project with many moving pieces that came together well, as you would expect when one of the owners is as involved as Adam. The design team from Toner that Cottage utilized was excellent, dialing in the look we wanted. Once the project was underway, Jake and Jessie were on site most days and are great guys. Josh, Mark, Arnildo and his flooring team, and another dozen or so guys were involved and all were friendly and hard working. And the final product is beautiful. Our neighbor, a retired carpenter, was impressed with the quality as he appreciates how hard these old homes are to renovate the right way. We unconditionally recommend Cottage Industries.

  Cottage helped us with a full house remodel. Russ (the PM) was beyond amazing and we are extremely happy with the result AND the way the project was handled.

  In 2016 my wife and I embarked on a full house renovation of a 6100 sq ft, 1893 stone Victorian home. We interviewed several design and build firms and chose Cottage because they seemed to care as much about restoring the home as we did. Nick and Adam were very professional and demonstrated their expertise in historic renovation from the very first meeting. The home had been vacant for over 2 years and needed everything redone. It had been broken up into 3 apartments and they helped us piece it back together to make it one home again and as close to the original layout as possible. They were with us from the initial design and budgeting phase all the way until a few months after we moved in. We replaced the heating system, added central AC, restored all the hardwood floors, built a new kitchen into a room that wasn’t a kitchen when we bought it, moved a first floor powder room, installed a mudroom, renovated two full bathrooms, took down walls, built new walls, built a master suite, added second floor laundry, structurally rebuilt a failing porch and porte cochere. They did all this work with extreme care to protect the historic integrity of the home and with skilled craftsman that take a ton of pride in their work. Russ, our project manager was excellent and the carpenters were amazing. They were clean, meticulous, professional, reliable, and did everything they said they would do and more. It was a huge project and they exceeded our expectations. We’ve been living in the house for a couple of years now and all of their work is standing the test of time. This review is long overdue and having dealt with other contractors for smaller jobs over the years and seeing my neighbors do the same I can say with confidence that these guys are some of the best around. I will be using them again as we undertake other projects around the property.

  Cottage Industries finished my basement exquisitely, which included a partially sunk endless pool and a decorative fireplace. They also did a thoroughly unique sun room for me. It included floor to ceiling glass and we use it daily. Adam always kept his word and the answer was always "yes" to be sure the design and work was done to my satisfaction. After two unique, challenging projects, I easily give them 5 stars.

  We considered hiring an architect and then bidding out our home renovation (initially a kitchen expansion but changed to a kitchen reno in the existing space, rebuilding our enclosed front porch and installing new hardwood floors among other things) to contractors but instead preferred the idea of going with a design and build company. When we met with Cottage Industries, we immediately felt that they were a good fit for us. Their price point was mid-range and their prior work was top notch with good references. Nick listened to what we were looking to do and came up with several plans for us to consider. He worked with us to revise them to our liking and was very patient. The lead carpenter was outstanding and did a great job on our project. Any change in cost was thoroughly discussed and tracked and, in the end, they came in on time and on budget. how many people experience that with contractors!? Overall, very satisfied and would recommend Cottage Industries very highly to others.
