Green Design Group is a one-person kitchen-and-bath design studio run by Lisa Green out of a showroom in West Concord, Massachusetts. The company says it grew out of Lisa's earlier career in high-tech management and years spent in remodel design and at a local kitchen showroom before she opened her own practice, and it describes itself as focused on eco-friendly materials and full design-through-installation service. Its BBB profile lists the company as established in 2013 with an A+ grade, though it is not BBB-accredited. For years the written record here was warm and specific. In a run of Houzz reviews from 2015 through 2019, homeowners and even a fellow tradesperson praised Lisa Green's cabinetry picks, her patience walking clients through tile and countertop choices, and her hands-on management of kitchen remodels from design to finish. In a 2024 review, a Concord real estate agent who says she has known Lisa personally for a decade called a Green Design Group kitchen "stunning." That changed in April 2026: a homeowner posted a detailed, sharply negative account of a $76,000 kitchen, bar, and bathroom cabinet renovation, alleging the job was left unfinished after full payment, that a subcontractor's $7,400 invoice went unpaid, and that the dispute has moved into legal proceedings involving the state's home-improvement oversight agency, OCABR. The platforms tell somewhat different stories side by side — Houzz shows 4.4 stars from 7 ratings, Google shows 3.8 from 4 — and the 2026 complaint sits only on the Google side. Nothing here shows how that dispute resolved, so it is worth asking about directly and getting clear terms on payment timing and subcontractor arrangements before signing a large contract. This fits a homeowner who wants close, hands-on collaboration on cabinetry-heavy kitchen or bath work and is willing to ask pointed questions about the recent complaint before committing real money up front.
Do not hire. Took full payment, left the job unfinished, and refused to pay subcontractor. We hired Lisa Green of Green Design Group through a referral for a full kitchen, bar, and bathroom cabinet renovation. The total contract was over $76,000, which we paid in full. What followed was a months-long nightmare. From the beginning their were red flags: (1) demanding full payment before cabinets are dropped off (2) not checking cabinets before delivery and maliciously holding back cabinets further delaying the project and (3) overall poor workmanship and couldn't get along with anyone on the job. Lisa engaged a subcontractor to perform painting and carpentry work at our home. When that subcontractor submitted his invoice for $7,400 — for work that was done — Lisa refused to pay. She's been ignoring his invoices and follow-up emails for months. As a result, we are now being held responsible for a bill we did not incur, and face the risk of a mechanic's lien on our home. Beyond the subcontractor situation, the job itself was never completed as contracted. Moldings and trim were left unpainted. We've also had ongoing defects — failed drawer slides, cabinet issues by the dishwasher, door hinge problems — that required additional time and money to fix. When the subcontractor tried to resolve this directly with Lisa, she sent her attorney. That tells you everything you need to know. If you are considering hiring Green Design Group, ask very carefully about how she manages her subcontractors and whether she will complete the job she quotes you. We wish we had. We are in the process of legal proceedings and working with the OCABR. Absolute NIGHTMARE!
I am a local Concord resident and real estate agent, and I had the pleasure of showing a home in Concord which had a Green Design Group kitchen, and it was stunning! I have known Lisa Green personally for over 10 years and she does fantastic work! If you live in the Concord area and considering a refresh to your kitchen or baths, then calling Lisa is a must!
Lisa Green is fantastic to work with and helped us immeasurably as we planned a remodel of our kitchen. Her time and care she spent with us and in creating our kitchen design was exemplary. We trusted her and she never steered us incorrectly. We found the perfect natural maple cabinetry at her showroom, the backsplash we wanted and the countertop we loved. We spent time with Lisa (her patience is remarkable) in the tile store, texting while we were at the quartz showroom, and panicked moments at night. She's an expert in her field was wonderful to work with. We are thrilled with the quality of our kitchen and Lisa envisioned it.
Lisa designed and helped execute the remodel of our kitchen two years ago. Her expertise was invaluable-- she's a great listener and an effective communicator. Our kitchen is gorgeous but to be honest we don't notice that so much. It's clean, organized and high functioning! That we love! When guests walk in they always exclaim, "wow" and we say you wouldn't believe how beautiful it is to work in! Lisa is extraordinarily hard working, creative, and persistent. Hiring her was the best decision we made!
We have been in business for 40 years and work closely on a daily basis with Kitchen and Bath designers throughout New England. We first met Lisa Green when she visited our shop to look at our work and operation. Her diligence in visiting our shop, prior to utilizing our products, demonstrated to us that she took her clients needs very seriously. We have since had the opportunity to work with Green Design on several projects and we find Lisa to be very organized, knowledgeable and professional. Her attention to detail and talent is evident in her designs/projects, and her loyalty to her clients and their needs is obvious. We highly recommend working with Green Design in your next project!
