# Home Design Studio **Trade:** Kitchen Remodel · **Website:** https://homedesignstudiokingston.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.6/5** (medium confidence) — from 9 reviews across 3 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Home Design Studio is a family-owned cabinet showroom and remodeling business run out of 57 Summer Street in Kingston, Massachusetts, operating as Home Design Studio by Conant Brothers Construction and serving the South Shore. The company says it has over 30 years in business, pairing a cabinetry and design showroom with the Conant Brothers' own construction and installation crew. Customers who hired the company between 2020 and 2024 consistently describe kitchen and bathroom remodels done well: coordinated design, plumbing, electrical, tile and cabinetry finished on time and within budget, with a showroom homeowners are invited to browse for material selections. Several reviewers name Chris, Lew (Lewis) and Christine directly and describe custom built-ins — a linen cabinet built around plumbing pipes, a two-door cabinet replacing an unused closet — as thoughtful, space-efficient solutions. One customer credits the team with two larger projects, a roof and garage plus additional interior work, completed within budget and on schedule; a granite and marble supplier describes the Conant Brothers as a professional, multi-year trade partner. Most of the detailed written accounts on file date to 2020 and 2021, with one more recent review from February 2024 — there isn't a large volume of very recent, day-to-day feedback to weigh against the earlier praise, so it's worth asking directly about current scheduling and lead times. For a family-run cabinetry and remodeling shop with a showroom you can visit before committing, this is a solid call for kitchen and bathroom projects on the South Shore — confirm current licensing and insurance paperwork and get a firm timeline in writing, especially for anything larger than their usual cabinetry-centered scope. **Strengths:** - Kitchen remodels — repeated five-star praise for coordinated design and installation - Custom cabinetry — reviewers single out creative, space-efficient built-ins - Bathroom renovations — vanities and linen storage praised for craftsmanship - Family-run team — Chris, Lew and Christine named directly across years of reviews **Concerns:** - Review vintage — most detailed accounts date to 2020-2021, one from 2024 ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Kitchen remodels earn consistent five-star praise, with reviewers citing coordinated design, plumbing, electrical, tile and cabinetry work finished on schedule _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/home-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~1889825279) — “5★ The Team at Home Design Studio is the absolute BEST!
