About Us

A family-owned remodeling team based in Framingham

You’ve probably been thinking about it for a while. Maybe the kitchen is cramped and dated, the bathroom tile is cracking, or the basement is still a storage room with a concrete floor. Maybe the deck has seen one too many winters. Whatever it is, you want it done right, at a fair price, by people who show up when they say they will and tell you what’s going on.

That’s what we do. Creative Home Improvements is a family-owned remodeling company with an office on Worcester Road in Framingham. Scott Zide has led the company for over 20 years, and our team has worked on just about every part of the house, inside and out. We plan the work, handle the permits and keep you in the loop from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

What We Build

Our Services

Here’s an overview of the work we do.

Home Remodeling

Whole home remodels, removing walls, additions, and projects that touch several rooms at once. We also handle plumbing and electrical repairs and extensions, windows, doors, flooring, and finish work.

Kitchen Remodeling

New cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, tile backsplashes, flooring, and full layout changes when the old kitchen just doesn't work anymore.

Bathroom Remodeling

Showers, tile, vanities, fixtures, and flooring, from a tub-to-shower conversion to a complete gut and rebuild.

Basement Remodeling

Finished basements for bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, gyms, home bars, and media rooms. It's often one of the most affordable ways to add living space without building an addition.

Decks

New decks and deck rebuilds in wood or composite, including Trex, TimberTech, and Ipe, designed around how you actually use your yard.

Patios & Porches

New patios and porches, plus repairs and renovations to give an aging porch or patio new life.

Custom Handrails

Interior stair railings, baluster replacements, and outdoor railings in wood, composite, aluminum, steel, and cable.

Our process

How a remodel works with us

Every home is different, but the path from first call to finished room looks the same on most of our projects.

01

Visit & Inspection

We come to your home, listen to what you want, and look closely at the space. We'll point out anything that could affect cost or schedule, like an undersized beam, old wiring, or signs of water in the basement. You get a detailed written quote, and estimates are always free.

02

Design & Planning

This is the fun part, and where many contractors rush. We work through layout, materials, colors, and finishes with you, share what we've seen work in homes like yours, and leave the final decisions to you. Through some of the best suppliers in Massachusetts, you'll choose from a far wider range than any single store carries.

03

Building

We handle demolition, permits, deliveries and installation. You'll always know who to call, and we'll walk you through each stage so nothing comes as a surprise.

04

Final Walkthrough

When the work is done, we walk the space with you and take care of any punch-list items. Then your one-year warranty kicks in.

Before Your Visit

Getting the most out of your free estimate

An estimate visit goes a lot further when you’ve thought through a few things ahead of time. You don’t need everything figured out, but these help us give you a more accurate quote and a better plan.

Your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves

If the budget gets tight, knowing what matters most helps us find the right place to trim.

A rough budget range

It lets us suggest materials and layouts that fit, instead of designing something you'll have to scale back.

Photos you like

Screenshots, magazine pages or a saved folder. Pictures say more than “modern but warm.”

Known problems

Past leaks, a sticky window or a breaker that keeps tripping. These can affect the scope.

Your timeline

A graduation party, a new baby or guests in the spring all change how we plan the work.

Who’s deciding

If a spouse or parent will weigh in on final choices, it helps to have them at the visit.

Condo or HOA rules

If you live in a condo or townhouse, check your association’s rules on work hours and approvals.

Questions for us

Write them down as they come up. There are no bad questions about your own home.

Planning tips

Which project should you do first?

If your list has more than one item on it, the order matters. Here’s a few rules of thumb we share with our clients.

01

Deal with water first.

A finished basement or new bathroom won't last if there's a moisture problem nobody looked at. Repairs like this aren't exciting, but they protect everything you build after.

02

Do the messy work before the pretty work.

If you're planning to open up a wall or redo plumbing in the next few years, do it before you put down new hardwood floors or paint the whole house.

03

Group rooms that share walls and systems.

A kitchen and the half bath behind it, or a basement and the stairway above it, often make sense as one project. You set up once, open the walls once and line up inspections together.

04

Think about the season.

Interior work like kitchens and basements can happen any time of year. Decks, patios and porches depend on the weather, and spring and summer schedules fill up fast. If you want to be on our crew calendar by July, it's smart to start the conversation over the winter.

Client reviews

What homeowners say about us

Ask our past clients what stood out, and most of them talk about communication before they talk about cabinets or tile.

Scott and his teams completely renovated our bathroom and it's beautiful! All of the teams did excellent work and Scott was so great at communicating and managing the project the whole way through. We will definitely be calling them for our next project!

Scott and his team were always professional, responsive and clear with costs, revising timeframes, and addressing new issues, as well as fair when disagreements arose. We love our renovated kitchen, powder bath and master bath - there are several extremely talented craftsmen on Scott’s team who do exceptional work. We enjoyed working with everyone on the team and highly recommend.

Scott and his team did an outstanding job on my kitchen renovation. I couldn't be happier with the final result. They were always professional, respectful and 100% on budget which is pretty rare these days. I would highly recommend Scott and will use CHI on future projects.

I was referred to Scott by a friend of mine. He gave me some great advice when he did the initial visit to assess my needs. His prices were competitive and he was reliable and communicated well. We had some initial scheduling concerns due to winter storms and staffing issues. Scott did an amazing job working through it and delivering on his commitments to get the work done in a timely manner. I greatly appreciate everything he did for me and I would highly recommend him for anyone doing renovations and repairs to their home!

Local remodeling contractor

Local to Framingham, familiar with Massachusetts homes

Our office is right here in town, and that makes a real difference for home remodeling Framingham MA projects. Most of our jobs are just down the road. We know the local suppliers and the building departments, and we’re close enough to adjust quickly when a delivery or inspection moves. That matters more than people expect on a remodel. A contractor an hour away might lose a whole day to a small change. We can usually just swing by.

Many homes around here are decades old, and that’s a big reason Massachusetts home remodeling takes careful planning. Walls aren’t always square, older wiring and plumbing may need updating, and every town expects work to meet the state building code. We plan for that from the start, so it doesn’t become a costly surprise halfway through.

We work on single-family homes, townhouses, and condos. If you’re in Framingham or a few towns over, we’d be glad to take a look at your project.
