Adams Kitchens has been on Main Street in Stoneham since 1970, and it is about to move down the road: the company says it is relocating to 440 Main Street in September 2026, with discounts on the existing showroom displays until then. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, held in the company's own name. Seven people work there, with Mark Karas as general manager and Landers Symes as president, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+ while listing it as not accredited. The work runs from cabinets-only to full design-build. On Houzz the company puts a typical project between $15,000 and $150,000 and shows 23 project galleries around Stoneham, Reading and Winchester. A homeowner writing in July 2026 said Lauren found a replacement cabinet to match an existing kitchen instead of selling a whole new one — a small story, but a telling one for a showroom business. Past that, the public trail is more industry than customer. Boston Magazine included the company in a 2019 roundup of kitchen designers, describing an in-home consultation followed by a showroom visit for Wood-Mode cabinetry, and trade coverage in 2009 and 2010 quoted Karas on countertop and remodeling trends while he was president-elect of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. What is thin is written customer history: three Google ratings, one of them spelled out. Go see the showroom, ask which of those 23 projects is closest to yours, and confirm which address they will be working from when your job starts.
“Adams Kitchen and Bath ... At this nearly 50-year-old family-owned business, the design process kicks off with a conversation about your goals, followed by an in-home consultation. Next, you’ll visit the company’s Stoneham showroom to explore cabinetry by Wood-Mode and appliances by Sub-Zero and Thermador. After you approve conceptual drawings, the Adams team will get to work. The end result? The perfect kitchen for cooking, entertaining, and hanging out. ... 125 Main St., Stoneham, 781-438-5065, adamskitchens.com.”
“said Karas, who also is the general manager of Adams Kitchens in Stoneham, Mass.”
“"The rich are always going to be rich so can they do (a remodeling job) out of pocket, maybe. Middle-class homeowners are more likely to go to home equity loans," said Karas, who also is the general manager of Adams Kitchens in Stoneham, Mass.”
“Mark Karas, president-elect of NKBA and the general manager of Adams Kitchens in Stoneham, Mass., agrees and adds that he sees interest in convenient storage”
“Given the price difference, even homeowners who want a totally modern look are now thinking twice about laminate countertops, as are some new home builders, says Mark Karas of Adams Kitchens in Stoneham, Mass.”
Lauren helped me find the replacement cabinet for my existing kitchen. I really appreciated her efforts to work with my existing cabinets rather than sell me a whole new kitchen.
