Expert Home Remodeling
& Construction Services
For more than 30 years, CJM Builders has remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, and whole homes in North Reading and the surrounding towns of northern Middlesex and southern Essex counties. We’re a local, licensed and insured team that holds every project to a higher standard of remodeling.
Every job follows our White Glove Five-Step Process™ — Survey, Strategize, Solidify, Secure, Showcase. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what it costs. And you can see and touch your selections before construction starts at our Design Center & Showroom right here in North Reading.
Maybe your kitchen feels cramped. Maybe your family has outgrown the house. Tell us what you’re dreaming of, and we’ll start with a conversation about your home and your goals.
Kitchen Remodeling
North Reading’s charming 20th-century homes often hide cramped, closed-off kitchens. We fix that. From new cabinets and countertops to islands, lighting, and full layout changes, our kitchen remodeling team designs around the way your household actually cooks and gathers. Walk through real cabinet doors, counters, and finishes at our Design Center & Showroom before the first wall comes down — so demo day starts with zero guesswork.
Bathroom Remodeling
A dated bathroom drags down the whole house. Our bathroom remodeling services cover everything from fixture and vanity updates to full down-to-the-studs renovations — showers and tubs, tile, lighting, and plumbing layout changes. We keep the rest of your home clean and livable while we work, and we hand back a bathroom that feels like a home spa.
Home Additions
When you love your street, your neighbors, and your schools, adding on makes more sense than moving. As home addition contractors, we build room additions, second stories, garage additions, and in-law suites and ADUs across North Reading and the surrounding towns. We handle the design, the town permits, and every trade in between, so your home grows without the headaches.
New Homes
Some houses have reached the end of what a remodel can fix. When that is the case, or when you own a lot that is ready to build on, we design and build the whole home. As a custom home builder in North Reading since 1992, we handle the design, the town approvals, and every trade, and you make your selections in person at our Design Center & Showroom before the foundation is poured.

Transparent pricing, secure payments, detailed documentation, change-order management, and accountable, ongoing communication.
Step 05 / 05

We bring your vision to life — a space you'll be proud to share.
Quality inspections and a final walkthrough of the finished home with you. Every punch-list item is closed out before we call the project done.

Our Reviews
We couldn't be happier with the work CJM did to turn our attic into a home away from home. We were referred by friends, and we were not disappointed. The entire team, including the subs, were amiable, quick, clean, and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better GC than CJM. We'll absolutely refer them to others looking for builds or finishing and will most likely use them again when we refresh a bathroom or two. :-) Thanks again for the help!
