One of the latest trends in real estate is the move away from downsizing. Retirees are no longer looking to minimize their spaces, but instead want to modernize their homes and open them up to multigenerational living. Such was the case for Maria Matluck when a recently retired couple approached her firm, Maria Matluck Construction Consultants, to help them with their kitchen remodel. Homeowners seek out Maria because she offers smart designs, custom cabinetry, seamless project management and budget tracking all under one roof. Few designers and contractors have the ability to offer their own custom cabinetry, but for Maria it became a necessity. “After searching for the best custom cabinetry for my projects and not finding exactly what I needed, I developed my own line of cabinets handcrafted in Connecticut by skilled artisans,” explains Maria. “It gives you unparalleled options.”
