BB&R Design-Build is a Worcester design-build remodeler run by Kevin Barnes, its founder and president, with Jane Barnes as lead interior designer; a 2023 Livability piece described it as an interior design and construction firm the couple owns together. Its reviews describe kitchens, bathrooms, additions and whole-house renovations. In an August 2025 Google review, a family said Kevin guided their addition from budgeting and architecture through a complex wetland protection process and city permits, with Jane on interiors and John and Jeff managing subcontractors and the schedule. A June 2025 reviewer said a living room remodel was delivered on time and within budget, and a July 2026 reviewer described a complete house renovation from design review to finished work. In an April 2023 review, a customer said the team added a three-car garage with a mudroom, a front entrance hardscape and a rear patio. An October 2024 reviewer said Jane had them build a Houzz vision board to set the style. BB&R holds 5.0 stars from 21 Google ratings, 4.9 from 33 on Houzz, and an A+ BBB grade as an accredited business since 2008. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #163463, is active on the state registry under Barnes Building & Remodeling, Inc.

Had a complete house renovation and can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was with BB&R. From a great design review process to quote, site prep, contractor work communication, and quality of work. Highly recommend.
There are businesses that support their community once, and then there are businesses that quietly and consistently show up year after year. BB&R Design-Build is one of those companies. For every single year since the inception of the Pawsitively 4 Pink Golf Tournament, Kevin Barnes and BB&R Design-Build have been there supporting our mission. Their continued commitment to helping women facing breast cancer has made a meaningful difference in the lives of so many families, and for that we are tremendously grateful. While I have never had the opportunity to meet Kevin personally, one thing is very clear: he never fails to show up for his community. Year after year, his support speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and the values he brings to both his business and the people around him. I can only imagine that the same integrity, reliability, and commitment he demonstrates in the community are reflected in every project BB&R Design-Build undertakes. In a world where people are often pulled in many directions, Kevin has remained steadfast in supporting local causes and making a difference. That kind of generosity does not go unnoticed. On behalf of everyone at Pawsitively 4 Pink, we simply want to say thank you. Thank you for always being there, for believing in our mission, and for being there FORE P4P year after year. Your support means more than you know.
I recently had the pleasure of working with BB&R on a project and was extremely impressed from start to finish. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, organized, and committed to quality at every stage of the process. It’s clear they hold themselves to a very high standard and genuinely care about both the craftsmanship and the client experience. The project was well-run, communication was seamless, and the final result was outstanding. I would highly recommend BB&R to anyone looking for a contractor who delivers beautiful work and stands behind it

They helped ease the stress that is usually associated with house projects. The final result of the project exceeded our expectations. We are so impressed and have been loving our new space. We highly recommend BB&R!!
We feel incredibly blessed to have chosen BB&R for our home addition project. Kevin, the owner, was an outstanding partner, guiding us through every step—from initial ideas and budgeting to architecture, interior design, site prep, construction, and final touches. His expertise was crucial in navigating the complex wetland protection process and securing city permits, making the entire experience seamless. Jane, their world-class interior designer, brought every detail to life with creativity and precision. John and Jeff were exceptional, not only for their professionalism and attention to detail but also for their skillful management of subcontractors and the project schedule, keeping everything on track. The entire BB&R team showcased remarkable craftsmanship, resulting in a beautifully executed addition that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend BB&R for their expertise, professionalism, and stunning craftsmanship in handling every aspect of a complex build!
