Each of them has resulted in a great enhancement to my home. Most recently, after a surprise leak, a call to Bruce for assistance led to redoing the floor in my study. Bruce jumped into action, coordinated the whole thing including removing and replacing furniture and he personally made sure that every detail was attended to. This is a wonderful design build firm and their conscientious attention to detail makes a huge positive difference in the process and end result. **★★★★★ — HU-218212605, July 2026** > We used Lee Kimball to design and build our new kitchen and laundry/pantry space and had a great experience. The designers were very knowledgeable and helped us select the most up to date options that worked best for us. The construction team kept to their schedule, communicated well and delivered top quality work. We would highly recommend Lee Kimball. **★★★★★ — HU-948575956, Feb. 2025** > We had an excellent experience with Lee Kimball. They were communicative throughout the renovation process, collaborative and receptive to feedback, and finished the project well within the projected timeframe. **★★★★★ — Robert Davis, Dec. 2024** > Absolutely Outstanding After 20 Years!!! > > We just celebrated 20 years with our wonderful Lee Kimball kitchen, and it’s as impressive today as when it was first designed & built. The thoughtful, well-executed design remains functional on every level, showcasing timeless attention to detail. The flawless infrastructure endures, makes swapping out appliances seamless and effortless. The mahogany cabinets are as stunning now as the day they were installed. > > Every deadline was met, and the team’s professionalism made the entire process a great experience. No corners were cut. The many custom details and craftsmanship take it to the next level, and Lee Kimball's logistical expertise is second to none. It’s truly a pleasure to enjoy a kitchen that has stood the test of time. It has become a timeless, classic centerpiece of our home. **★★★★★ — Kashmira Patel, Sept. 2024** > Lee Kimball was recommended to me by a friend. They remodeled my basement which included a bedroom, family room and a gorgeous movie theater room! Every detail was attentively executed. They run every project in a very professional manner with regular updates, and the best tradesman who take pride in their work. This was a major renovation and they made it painless and almost turnkey. They deliver what they promise and on schedule. I am so impressed that I have hired them again to update my kitchen. > > I highly recommend this design firm. You will be very pleased with the end product. **★★★★★ — Kevin, June 2024** > We worked with the team at Lee Kimball from the initial idea stage through the design process and construction on a large renovation project. The experience and results were fantastic. Each member of the team is knowledgeable and dedicated to a positive client experience, and this extends to their selection of sub-contractors. We are glad that we chose to work with Lee Kimball and recommend them for anyone considering a home renovation. **Comment from Lee Kimball:** > Kevin, > Thank you for your kind words and feedback. We are thrilled that you had a fantastic experience and are enjoying the results of your renovation project. You were a wonderful to work with and we appreciate your trust and recommendation. We hope you enjoy your new home for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Lisa Frasca Gibbs, Jan. 2024** > If there were more stars to award, I would give infinity! Where to begin to talk about Gregg and Bruce Johnson, brothers and owners of this company. We began our conversations with not a very clear picture of what we wanted, but because Gregg and Bruce listened, got to know our needs for the present and future use of our house, they were able to visualize the home of our dreams that would be with our family for what we hope is generations to come. They were sensitive to financial boundaries, never going above the ceiling. You want to do business with the kindest and most thoughtful people, who understand how important the project is...they went above and beyond. Gregg and Bruce wanted it as much as we did and were just as excited about it coming to completion. The planning process with our fantastic architect, Nancy Twomey was nothing short of miraculous. Nancy is well versed in Town bylaws and in fact, co-authored the bylaws in our Town; when we needed to go back to the drawing board, she was nothing if not so creative and we wound up with the best plan we could have ever imagined. Nancy remained engaged throughout the project and was always available for questions and consultation. Madison Cota (now Madison Jackson) made the design process so much less overwhelming than we thought it would be. She listened, understood our tastes and was very honest when we chose something that wouldn't work with the overall design, and of course gave workable alternatives. Each appointment was focused on one thing - plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, finishes, etc.- and was enjoyable every step of the way. You hear horror stories about contractors not showing up or communicating when they say they will. This was NEVER the case at Lee Kimball. From the time ground was broken, a day didn't go by that there wasn't someone working on the project. Everything was ordered well beforehand so there were no hold-ups with scheduling. The whole experience was seamless. The people coming into my house - Kevin, Mike, Lucio, Roger, Brad (I'm sure I'm missing some and I apologize in advance!) - were all respectful and kind and truly became part of our extended family. Not one mess was left by anyone at the end of any day. The communication via the online portal for everything was so handy. There were NO change orders that came from Lee Kimball's end - there were few, but they were all generated by us because we wanted to change a few things, not for any other reason. I can never say enough about Gregg and Bruce and their whole team at Lee Kimball. We are so glad to know them and honored to call them our friends and trusted them implicitly with our project. We are so happy with the result! **★★★★★ — cbaptiste517, Dec. 2023** > We engaged Lee Kimball for a recent home project to take a large existing front porch and create a smaller porch with a new entryway mudroom. From start to finish this project was smooth. Every aspect of this project was a breeze: from the initial planning to design to zoning requests and permits, the team guided us, answered our questions, and heard our goals. The team at Lee Kimball knows the industry well and each member of the crew was knowledgeable, friendly, on time, hard working, and detail oriented. Communication was easy and clear on our project from start to finish. The result is a space that blends beautifully in our home, and is so functional I wonder how we ever survived without it. **Comment from Lee Kimball:** > Chris, thank you so much for your kind review! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Dan on your home. We love the way the new addition looks like it was always meant to be there, and are thrilled that it is delivering all of the functionality you hoped for! **★★★★★ — vdilsizian, Dec. 2023** > I cannot say enough about this company! We did a long distance renovation and they were, without a doubt, the BEST company we have ever worked with. From planning with the designer, choosing materials, regular communication and EXPERT craftsmanship, we are so happy with the result. For context, we have done many projects….. kitchens, bathrooms, etc. and we are super picky. The attention to detail and professionalism is a reflection of the owners, who are involved every step of the way. If I could give ten stars I would! **Comment from Lee Kimball:** > Vasken, thank you from the entire Lee Kimball team for your kind words! It was a privilege to work on a space that held such history for you and your family. We enjoyed working with Maddy and yourself from start to finish to create a space with such incredible 'before and after's. We are thrilled to hear how happy you are with your new space! **★★★★★ — judin3, May 2023** > We have had a relationship with Kimball Kitchens for over 25 years. We have only the highest praise for them. Bruce and his team guided us through our kitchen project patiently always listening to our concerns no matter how trivial they were. > After 25 years, we needed some small updates. They can back with the same care and expertise they had 25 years ago. > > This is a business who really cares for their clients as tho we were part of their extended family. **★★★★★ — jennaweiner75, Oct. 2022** > We are so happy we worked with Lee Kimball! They made the process easy from start to finish, and we LOVE the finished results. They kept us informed with daily photos and updates, weekly live meetings, and ongoing communication. The partnership with the designer was fantastic, she really understood our style and found great selections (and also worked with us on things we wanted to choose ourselves). We recommend them to everyone! **★★★★★ — Janee T, Oct. 2022** > Our project was a renovation of a full bathroom in our Victorian house. Right from the start to the very end of the project, the Lee Kimball team, which includes the design team, the construction team and the subcontractors are all very professional, courteous and responsive. The design team gently guided us along the way going through many iterations of our design plan and helping us eliminate costly items to stay within a budget with which we were comfortable. We collectively designed a beautiful bathroom that is perfect for our home. We cannot imagine not having Lee Kimball oversee the project as we had uncovered, as usual in our home, unforeseen issues that they were able to quickly address and for the ease of managing all of the subcontractors and keeping to a schedule. ## Selected projects - [Understated Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/understated-elegance-pj-vj~7763541) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: What began as a kitchen renovation evolved into a transformative addition that reshaped how this family lives and moves through their space. The home, a classic storybook-style, was rich in charm but short on function. The original kitchen was narrow and closed off, with a peninsula that blocked sightlines and natural light. A small, impractical powder room offered little utility, and the overall layout felt cramped and disconnected. A rear addition allowed for a new kitchen and sitting area—now… - [Townhouse Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/townhouse-makeover-pj-vj~7763586) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Our Newton, MA clients loved the location and overall footprint of their home, but stylistically, it didn’t feel quite right. Their multi-level town home had more of a builder-grade feel to it, lacking the modern aesthetic and personalized touches that they desired. A guiding influence for their design was a beloved New England Mountain Modern home that felt like it perfectly expressed their style. On the first floor, we began by removing an unused corner fireplace to open the space. We updated… - [Seamless and Sage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seamless-and-sage-pj-vj~7763466) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: This Winchester renovation transformed a beloved home into a more functional, connected space for a growing family. The homeowners wanted to stay in their neighborhood but needed a layout that offered more room and better flow. Upstairs, a new addition allowed for a spacious primary suite and two full bathrooms, giving everyone more comfort and privacy. The design blends seamlessly with the existing structure, adding significant square footage while maintaining the home’s charm and character.

Our challenge in this renovation was to modernize the design, create a more family-friendly layout, and devise a first-floor configuration more suited for their love of entertaining. This Design-Build-Interiors project included a reimagining of the entire first floor, an upstairs loft, primary bedroom, and a basement bathroom. The result showcases und… - [Kitchen & Powder Room Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-powder-room-renovation-pj-vj~7577384) - Location: Melrose, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: Some houses have hidden gifts that, when discovered, can take the finished project to the next level, like this turn-of-the century home in Melrose. The home had already gone through several renovations, but the owners were seeking improved access and flow in their kitchen layout. They also wanted to make the space more functional to better meet their cooking needs and love of entertaining. The owners also wanted to incorporate a more central seating option in the kitchen, but there wasn’t much… - [Bright and Balanced Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-and-balanced-renovation-pj-vj~7565242) - Location: Reading, MA - Photos: 13 - [Seaside Kitchen Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-kitchen-reno-pj-vj~7536328) - Location: Gloucester, MA - Photos: 8 - [Practical Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/practical-additions-pj-vj~7535510) - Location: Reading, MA - Photos: 4 - [Medford Master Suite Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/medford-master-suite-addition-pj-vj~7067111) - Location: Medford, MA - Photos: 15 - [Winchester Transitional Colonial Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winchester-transitional-colonial-transformation-pj-vj~7067098) - Location: Winchester, MA - Photos: 21 - [Cape Meets Craftsman Reconstruction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cape-meets-craftsman-reconstruction-pj-vj~7067082) - Location: Melrose, MA - Photos: 16 - [Plum Island Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plum-island-cottage-pj-vj~6934299) - Location: Newbury, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: A Massachusetts beach cottage is renovated to reflect the history of the cottage with Big Chill Appliances, wide plank flooring and ship lap wall treatment. - [Forever Farmhouse Galley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forever-farmhouse-galley-pj-vj~6639776) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Harvard Square Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harvard-square-condo-pj-vj~6914437) - Location: Cambridge, MA - Photos: 13 - Description: A complete renovation of a Mass Ave. condo for a couple with grown children and grandchildren in the area. The kitchen island was designed to save space by housing the table when the couple were not entertaining, offering seating for 3-8.

The primary bedroom was redesigned to include a walk-in closet and the secondary bedroom offers space for a desk and reading area by way of a Murphy bed installation with buil… - [Sophisticated City Living and Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophisticated-city-living-and-dining-room-pj-vj~6599125) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This Sophisticated City Living and Dining Room Refresh is proof that you can incorporate personal and family heirloom items into a newly redesigned space. Our client wanted to update her living space while keeping items that were near and dear to her. These items became an inspiration for our design plan as we created a space that is uniquely theirs. We re-worked the floor plan to maximize the space, giving our client three distinct living areas that are sophisticated and cohesive.

What type of wood? A: Hi Ereif, they aren't a specific brand. They are standard, unfinished 2.25 white oak to match the existing flooring in the home. They were sanded and 3 coats of polyurethane were applied. Hope this helps! **Q: Love the chairs!** *(in Photo Questions)* Where are the chairs from? A: Hi! These are from a trade partner called Four Winds, but they do not sell direct to consumer at this time. **Q: Wall color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the wall color? Thanks! A: White Dove by Benjamin Moore **Q: Natural or porcelain?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi there, is this natural tile or porcelain? Thank you A: Hello. It is porcelain and made by South Cypress. **Q: Love the run! Where did you get it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for your question! Please see information about the runner in a previous response in this feed. **Q: Inside Edition Inquiry!** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, My name is Alexandra and I am with Inside Edition. I am reaching out because we are currently working on a story about people finding things in their house during renovations. I came across an article where you described that your mother-in-law found vintage jewelry under her vanity, along with other things like a match book, and a party invitation. We would love to speak to her and get some more details on the findings! If you are interested, could you please email me at - alexandra.gopen@insideedition.com Thanks! A: Hi Alexandra, thank you for your outreach. Do you have a phone number or email I can connect with you on this? The story sounds wonderful, but not one that is familiar to us for the project associated with this image. Could you tell me a little more on how this information came to you so I can dig a little deeper? Thanks so much! Jen --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
