Kitchen Remodeling
The heart of your home, reconsidered.
A kitchen carries a remarkable amount of life. We bring architecture, function, craftsmanship, cabinetry, lighting, and finishes together to create a space that makes everyday living easier and gathering more joyful.
Home Additions
More space. More possibility. Still unmistakably home.
A thoughtfully designed addition gives you room to grow without leaving the home and community you love. As an experienced design-build contractor in Greater Boston, we consider architecture, scale, circulation, natural light, and existing details so new spaces feel like a natural extension of your home.
Whole-Home Remodeling
A new chapter for the home you already love.
Whole-home remodeling is an opportunity to reconsider how your home looks, feels, and functions as one cohesive space. From reworking floor plans and improving flow to updating multiple rooms and floors, we preserve the character worth keeping while creating a home better suited to the way you live today.
Primary Suite Remodeling
A more personal kind of retreat.
Your primary suite should feel calm, comfortable, and entirely your own. We thoughtfully bring together layout, natural light, storage, bathroom design, materials, and finishing details to create a private retreat designed around your routines and your sense of home.
Multi-Room & Structural Remodeling
When changing one space changes everything.
Sometimes a home’s challenges extend beyond a single room. Through thoughtful home renovation in Greater Boston, we can reimagine connected spaces, improve circulation, and make structural changes that help your home function more naturally as a whole.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Thoughtful space for life’s changing needs.
An accessory dwelling unit can create flexible space for extended family, guests, independent living, or whatever comes next. Our design-build team helps you explore what’s possible for your property and guides the architectural, design, planning, and construction details from beginning to end.
Interior Design
Beauty, function, and joy in perfect balance.
Interior design brings the final layer of personality to your home. From furnishings and finishes to color, lighting, materials, and textiles, we curate every element to create rooms that feel beautiful, function effortlessly, and reflect the people who live there.
One Team, One Vision
Collaboration in everything we do.
Our integrated model is a modern approach built upon values we’ve carried for generations.
Lee Kimball has two in-house architects and an in-house designer, allowing architecture, design, estimating, project planning, and construction to work collaboratively. As a full-service design-build firm, we take responsibility for the project as a whole rather than asking you to coordinate separate professionals and competing priorities.
Everyone involved shares a common goal: creating the best possible experience and outcome for your home.
A Design-Build Process, Tailored to You
Clarity at every step. Care in every detail.
1. In-Home Consultation
We begin by listening. We learn about your home, what isn’t working, what you hope to change, and how you want to live differently when the project is complete.
2. Conceptual Design
Our paid design process begins with measurements, conversations about budget, and exploration of what’s possible. We develop and present concepts shaped around your priorities.
3. Design Development
The vision becomes detailed. Design decisions are refined, pricing is established, and the project takes shape with greater clarity.
4. Construction Agreement & Pre-Construction
Once the construction agreement is signed, you meet your construction team, review schedules and detailed plans, and prepare for the transformation ahead.
5. Construction
Our team brings the design to life with regular communication, meticulous project management, quality craftsmanship, and attention to the details that matter.
6. Completion
The final details come together and the home becomes yours again, transformed.

Experience You Can Feel at Home
Craftsmanship is only part of the story.
For more than 85 years, the Lee Kimball name has represented a commitment to quality service and quality work.
That history matters to us.
But experience isn’t valuable simply because of the number of years behind it. It matters because of what those years teach you: how to listen carefully, anticipate challenges, guide difficult decisions, respect the character of a home, and understand that the smallest details can have an enormous impact on how a space feels.
For homeowners considering home renovation in Greater Boston, that experience brings confidence to a complex process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Lee Kimball offer?
Lee Kimball offers full-service residential design-build and interior design services throughout Greater Boston. Our work includes home additions, whole-home renovations, multi-room and structural remodeling, kitchen remodeling, primary suites, accessory dwelling units, and interior design.
Because design and construction are integrated, our team can guide complex projects from the earliest architectural ideas through design development, pre-construction, construction, and final details.
What is design-build remodeling?
Design-build remodeling brings the design and construction sides of a renovation together within one coordinated team.
Rather than developing a design independently and then finding a contractor to build it, design-build remodeling in Greater Boston allows architecture, interior design, planning, estimating, and construction considerations to inform one another throughout the process.
The result is a more connected approach to transforming your home.
What are the benefits of working with a design-build firm?
Working with a design-build firm creates one collaborative path from vision to completion.
Design decisions can be considered alongside construction realities, pricing, materials, scheduling, and the existing conditions of your home. Communication is streamlined because the professionals responsible for different parts of the project are working toward the same vision.
For homeowners undertaking a complex remodel, this can bring greater clarity, accountability, and continuity to the experience.
What is the difference between design-build and hiring an architect and contractor separately?
In a traditional model, a homeowner may hire an architect or designer first and then bring those plans to separate contractors for pricing and construction.
With design-build, those disciplines collaborate as part of one process.
As a Boston design-build firm, Lee Kimball brings architecture, design, project planning, and construction together so ideas can be evaluated from multiple perspectives as they develop.
Does Lee Kimball handle both design and construction?
Yes. Lee Kimball is a full-service design-build company with two in-house architects and an in-house designer, and our team manages the project from conceptual design through construction and completion.
What types of home remodeling projects does Lee Kimball specialize in?
Lee Kimball specializes in substantial residential remodeling projects, including home additions, whole-home renovations, multi-room renovations, kitchen remodels, primary suites, interior design, and other complex transformations.
Our approach is particularly well suited to homeowners who value thoughtful design, high-quality craftsmanship, close collaboration, and a comprehensive process rather than looking for a contractor to simply bid or build an existing set of plans.
We serve Design Build clients in Boston and the surrounding areas.
