Feinmann, Inc.

Feinmann, Inc. is a Lexington design-build firm known for the kind of clients who come back — several reviewers describe hiring the company for a second or third project, moving from a kitchen to a primary bath to a full addition over the years. Founded in 1987 by Peter Feinmann, the company is employee-owned and handles architecture, design, and construction in house for kitchen, bathroom, attic, basement, and whole-home remodels across Greater Boston; this year Maren Reepmeyer stepped into the president's role while Feinmann moved to CEO. The written record, running from 2020 through early 2026, centers on full gut renovations rather than smaller updates: a kitchen torn down and rebuilt, a primary bathroom overhaul paired with a bedroom refresh, an attic turned into a recreation space with a full bath and wet bar, a two-story addition to a colonial. A theme recurs across several of these accounts — homeowners crediting the design-build setup, one team owning a project from first sketch to final punch list, for making it possible to live through months of construction. In a 2022 review, one couple called the arrangement "seamless and efficient" for exactly that reason, and a 2026 reviewer still describes the team as organized, with weekly progress meetings through a large renovation. The credentials back up the reviews. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, Better Business Bureau has accredited the firm since 1997 with an A+ grade, and on Houzz — where it holds Best of Houzz recognition running 2013 through 2024 — it shows 120 completed projects. 2025 was a strong year for outside recognition too: two Gold PRISM Awards at the BRAGB gala and additional honors at the PRO New England Awards, split between remodeling and new-construction work. One thing worth asking about up front is cost. A reviewer writing in January 2026 called the workmanship "very high quality... albeit not cheap" — consistent with a firm whose typical projects, per its Houzz profile, run well into six figures. Feinmann is a strong fit for a homeowner planning a substantial kitchen, bath, or whole-home project who wants one team carrying it from design through the last coat of paint; go in expecting a premium price and confirm the budget range early.
