This
old abandoned nursing home located
in Dorchester was redesigned and
converted into a two family dwelling.
DCCS, Inc. was responsible for the
entire design and construction of
this new home. The work involved
a complete gut of the existing interior
of the building, restructuring of
the front porch, new addition and
deck at the rear, as well as, repairs
to the existing siding and roof.
The interior was redesigned to accommodate
two families.
The project involved construction
of new walls, drywalls, ceiling,
hardwood floors, tile work, doors,
windows, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing,
electrical, HVAC systems, as well
as, the installation of new asphalt
shingles on the roof. At the rear
we constructed a new bedroom addition
to first floor with a new deck on
top. A new wooden staircase was
also built at the rear. This building
was completed with the finest craftsmanship,
while maintaining its original look.
