Yes. Hunt Construction provides interior design throughout Belmont (02478) and nearby Watertown, Arlington and Waltham. Get in touch through our contact page to talk through your project.

Do I need a building permit for my project in Belmont?

It depends on the scope. In Massachusetts, new construction, additions, structural changes and many renovations need a building permit under the State Building Code. In Belmont, building permits are handled by the local building department (belmont-ma.gov). Cosmetic updates often don't need one, while work that moves walls, changes structure or relocates kitchens and baths generally does.

How does the age of Belmont's housing affect interior design projects?

According to U.S. Census estimates, 76% of Belmont's homes were built before 1960 and the median home dates to 1938. Older houses can hide structural, wiring or insulation issues that only show once walls are opened, and homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, so work that disturbs painted surfaces should follow lead-safe practices. We assess the existing building before the scope is set.

What kind of housing does Belmont have?

Belmont has about 10,881 housing units and about 27,175 residents. 45% of homes are single-family detached houses, 49% are in buildings with two or more units and 65% are owner-occupied (U.S. Census ACS estimates).

Do you design commercial interiors as well as homes?

Yes. Alongside kitchens, baths and living spaces, we design offices, hospitality spaces, model units and amenity areas.

What does interior design cover?

Space planning, material and finish selection, lighting design, custom millwork and furniture coordination, from the first layout to installation.
