Colonial Reproduction, Leyden
"Building our home with Renaissance Builders was both an efficient and creative process. We are so pleased with the outcome."
John & Barbara Wallace, Owners

Contemporary Home, Greenfield
A Contemporary is what you call it when it doesn't fit into any mold, and that certainly describes this house. A steel beam supports the roof over the kitchen, living room and dining room, allowing a completely open feeling. Partial walls divide the spaces without closing them off.

"We have a house and a major summer house addition built by Renaissance Builders. To the planning they brought great design skills, vision, imagination and excitement. They were built with care and attention to detail by great people to work with. We are happy customers!"
Ruth & Vin McHugh, Owners

Custom Home, Leverett
The design of this home incorporated timber harvested from the land; and windows, doors and railings that the customers already owned. Interior windows and a secret door (we won't say where - it's a secret!) make up some of the fun details in this unique home.

Energy Crafted Home, Gill
Renaissance Builders built the model home for the Energy Crafted Home Program (now called Energy Star Homes) and we've been building them ever since, including this custom ranch in Gill. Over the years we've incorporated many of the principles of the program into our standard building practices, including air sealing, vapor barriers, and energy efficient windows and doors.

Custom Home, Northfield
This custom home (another Energy Crafted Home) began as a sketch on a home computer. We worked with the Owners to improve the original concept, then designed a structure that exceeds building code standards and easily passed the ECH tests. Said Dan & Lea, "We love the house!"

Custom Ranch Home, Greenfield
The library in this custom home moved three times (on paper) before finally settling into an alcove off the living room. A simple footprint and an Owner who knew what was essential to her - and what she could live without - allowed for special details such as this without breaking the budget.

Custom Ranch Home, Northfield
This compact and efficient ranch (another ECH home) includes a separate master suite, a spacious great room with adjacent galley kitchen, a guest suite and a library. The house is sited well back from the road, providing a pleasant view across an adjoining meadow.

Gambrel Style Farmhouse, Leyden
A cathedral ceiling and stone fireplace in the living room of this new home make it an inviting gathering place. Half walls between the kitchen, dining room and living room define the spaces while leaving them connected for family interaction.

Custom Home, Gill
This house was several years in the planning, and after living in it for 5 years the Owners say there's only one thing they'd change. They intend to replace the carpet in the living room with hardwood flooring. It's a pleasure to have Owners who know what they want.
