Lee Kimball

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Lee Kimball was fabulous to work with in every way for my recent living/dining space renovation. Erica led the entire process with expertise and great understanding of what I was looking for. The project work was completed with great attention to detail and with minimum disruption. I am delighted with the results and highly recommend this firm!

Lee Kimball was wonderful to work with on our kitchen renovation. From design to completed project, they were extremely communicative and helpful. Bruce and Madison walked us through every design decision and question until we had exactly what we wanted. Gregg made sure all the construction went smoothly and timed the project perfectly so we did not have any delays or backorder issues. Any changes along the way were communicated clearly and immediately, so there were no surprises. The project finished on time and we love our new kitchen. We highly recommend working with Lee Kimball.

Our project involved renovating an unfinished attic space into a master suite. Lee Kimball took us through the design process all the way through to completion of construction. The process from end to end was seamless and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. The design was exactly what we were looking for and the construction was completed on time and on budget. Communication was fantastic throughout construction and the team was super responsive to any requests or questions we had. Even post-construction, Lee Kimball continues to be responsive and answer any questions we have with the new space. All in all, couldn't be happier with Lee Kimball and would highly recommend to anyone looking to design and construct a new space in their home. We are hoping to use them again in the future!

My husband and I worked with Lee Kimball to renovate a small condo in the midst of COVID. We found them to be very knowledgeable, professional and helpful in researching and making recommendations for our design goals. One of our main goals was to maximize storage in our small space. Their design team came up with amazing ideas to do that including fabricating a custom counter in the kitchen into which a table could slide in or out depending on seating needs. Early in the process, Lee Kimball established a time line for the project as well as a budget. In spite of working in a COVID environment and all the difficulties that presented with logistics getting material, they stayed on target in both the time line and budget. They worked seamlessly with our condo association/neighbors during the construction process. Any questions or concerns that we had after we moved in were responded to quickly and all issues solved. I would highly recommend Lee Kimball and would definitely use them again.

Working, or better yet partnering with Lee Kimball was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I’ve a 1957 cape that only had a walk up attic and about 750 sq feet of living space. It had been lightly maintained but never updated. I added a second floor with three bedrooms, full bath, raise the roof, added a farmers porch, all new siding and windows and all during a global pandemic. The team at Lee Kimball (LK) were amazing to work with and incredibly responsive. They partnered with me the whole way, from my first initial conversation, design, coordination, to even after the job was completed. I can honestly say it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life working with this team and seeing the transformation of my home. There was no drama, no missed deadlines or expectations. The craftsmanship is top notch, and all the trades they work with were amazing and hard workers. LK took my vision and amplified it to become an amazing space. I continue to get numerous compliments on the final out come and many neighbors, those that I know and others that I’ve never met share how much they love the final product but also how amazingly fast this went. Construction, after all the planning was finalized and permits acquired, only took 14 weeks. On time and on budget. Looking forward to when I can work with this amazing team again!

“I was referred to Lee Kimball by a friend and I am very happy that I selected them to renovate two units in a South End brownstone. My goal for both units was twofold and equally important. Firstly, to renovate the kitchens and baths, and second, to ensure that the utilities, including HVAC and the windows/sliding doors were up to code and of sound integrity. It was very important to hire a firm that not only had experience working in older Boston buildings but also had a creative team to design timeless kitchens and baths while maximizing the storage and flexibility of the spaces. I’m thrilled with the exceedingly high quality of the resulting projects. Gregg and the Project Management team were able to work with the other owners and occupants of the building to meet their needs with minimal disruption. Lee Kimball’s ability to finish the projects on time and keep the project on budget is invaluable.”
