ABOUT HOMES DONE YOUR WAY

Residential Remodeling & Design-Build Across Massachusetts & Connecticut

Homes Done Your Way is a residential remodeling, design-build, and custom-home company serving homeowners across Massachusetts and Connecticut. Projects range from kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and interior renovations to whole-home remodeling, custom residential construction, and historic-home restoration.

Each project begins with the property, the homeowner's priorities, and the scope of work being considered. Design planning, construction requirements, materials, budgeting, and project coordination are considered together to create a clear path from initial concept through completion.

The focus is straightforward: thoughtful residential work, practical project planning, quality craftsmanship, and homes designed around the people who live in them.

HOW WE WORK

A Coordinated Approach to Residential Projects

Residential construction involves more than drawings and finishes. Successful projects require clear scope, realistic budgeting, coordinated design decisions, construction planning, communication, and attention to the existing property.

Design Coordination

Project requirements, layouts, materials, finishes, architectural considerations, and interior priorities are developed and coordinated according to the scope of each residence.

02

Budgeting & Project Planning

Project scope, priorities, materials, construction requirements, and anticipated costs are considered together to establish a practical direction before major work begins.

03

Construction

Construction activities are organized around the approved project scope, property conditions, design requirements, schedule, materials, and applicable professional responsibilities.

04

Client Communication

Clear communication helps keep homeowners informed about decisions, progress, project conditions, selections, and issues that may affect the work.

My Vision & Philosophy

“Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.” – Dr. Albert Szent-Györgyi

I’m Zane Richardson — a serial entrepreneur passionate about building ventures that blend commercial success with meaningful impact. With over two decades of experience across various industries, I’ve come to believe that innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility aren’t just values — they’re necessities.

My philosophy is simple: challenge the status quo, create with purpose, and leave the world better than I found it.

My Journey

My entrepreneurial journey focuses on creating ventures that empower people and respect the planet. Every business I’ve built is driven by this philosophy. A defining moment was founding a hemp company to set industry standards in quality and sustainability. Hemp symbolizes innovation and environmental stewardship. Our products minimize land impact through regenerative practices.

Real estate development is another focus, creating spaces that redefine urban landscapes and bring value to communities. I aim to build environments where people thrive, balancing functionality and aesthetics. Luxury home construction combines craftsmanship with sustainable technologies, creating homes that reflect beauty and comfort. My non-profit work empowers inner-city youth through mentorship and support, helping them achieve their goals. I’m committed to making a difference and excited about future projects that promote sustainability and social change.

CLARIFICATION

These organizations maintain separate business purposes, websites, operating structures, and audiences. A visitor engaging Homes Done Your Way for residential construction, remodeling, design-build, custom-home, interior, kitchen and bathroom, or historic-restoration services should not assume that another venture automatically provides those services, financing, investment, development, or related activities.

“Investing in the future means investing in sustainability, community, and innovation. Let’s build that future together.”
OUR PHILOSOPHY

Build Around the Way the Home Will Be Lived In

A successful residential project should do more than change the appearance of a property. It should improve how the home functions, responds to its surroundings, supports everyday life, and performs over time. That requires thoughtful decisions before, during, and after construction.

The approach is centered on understanding the existing property, identifying priorities, coordinating design and construction requirements, selecting appropriate materials, communicating clearly, and maintaining attention to detail throughout the project. The finished residence should feel intentional, functional, durable, and appropriate to the people who live there.

Creating Better Residential Project Experiences

To provide homeowners with a thoughtful and coordinated approach to remodeling, design-build, custom-home construction, interior improvement, and historic restoration while maintaining clear communication, responsible planning, quality craftsmanship, and respect for every property.

A Trusted Residential Partner in Massachusetts & Rhode Island
