Kitchens By Lombco runs its design-build kitchen and bath work out of a Marrett Road showroom in Lexington, and the number that stands out is stark: 28 reviews across Google and Houzz since 2021, every single one five stars. The company says it has been remodeling homes across Eastern Massachusetts since 1990, family-owned and run by John Marchese Sr., with Holly handling design and John's crew handling the build. What the people who hired them keep describing is a full gut-and-rebuild kitchen, not a countertop swap. Reviewers from Arlington to Lexington to Tewksbury describe removing walls to open sightlines into dining rooms and replacing dated 1970s layouts, and in one 2021 Houzz review, taking down a load-bearing wall as part of a complete kitchen remodel. Bathroom work shows up just as often — full renovations rather than fixture swaps, including a two-bathroom project finished back to back and a built-in TV wall with French doors added alongside a bathroom remodel. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration under Kitchens By Lombco LLC is active, and Houzz separately lists a construction supervisor license number for the business. The pattern across nine reviews in just the last six months, and going back to 2021, is consistent: Holly's design sessions get singled out by name repeatedly, and reviewers credit the crew for keeping the process organized — showing up when scheduled, communicating along the way, and finishing without the cost overruns homeowners say they feared going in. A 2020 local news writeup on the Lexington showroom's opening noted the company had already done construction work in that same building six years earlier, consistent with the long local run the company describes. There's nothing to flag in what's here — no complaints, licence issues, or disputes turn up across the six sources compiled, and the home improvement contractor registration checks out active with the state. The read comes from reviewers who hired them and the company's own history claims, without an independent report card to check it against. For a homeowner planning an actual gut renovation of a kitchen or bathroom rather than a single-component swap, this is a company with a long, specific, complaint-free run — worth a showroom visit to see if a design session with Holly and John fits the project.
“Six years prior to their July opening, they had done construction work in the back of the building.”
Our old, cramped kitchen from the 1970s was a major eyesore in our Arlington, MA home. The Lexington crew recommended removing a section of wall to increase natural light and create a more open floor plan that would extend into the dining room. I am astounded at the outcomes. In addition, they included a cozy coffee nook, which has quickly become our go-to place for morning brews. Everyone who worked on the project, from the carpenters to the electricians, was punctual, professional, and courteous.
We stopped by the Lexington Kitchens by Lombco showroom on a whim after visiting many other kitchen manufacturers. What was supposed to be a "quick visit" ended up being a two-hour chat in which John and Holly gave great attention to our needs. Not only is the kitchen aesthetically pleasing, but it is also very well-suited to the needs of our active family. Every day, cooking is a breeze with the soft-close mechanisms, large drawers for pots, and conveniently positioned outlets in the cabinets. Thanks to the crew's punctuality, professionalism, and meticulous cleaning, our Arlington neighbors had no idea we were undergoing renovations.
We went back and forth for a long time before finally deciding to remodel our kitchen, mostly because we had heard so many horror stories about projects dragging on and costs getting out of control. Kitchens By Lombco made the experience far easier than we expected. What stood out to us was how much thought went into the layout. They did not just replace what was already there. They looked at how we used the room and found ways to improve storage, counter space, lighting, and the overall flow of the kitchen. The finished space feels completely different, even though it still fits naturally with the rest of our Lexington home. There were a lot of decisions along the way, and they were very good about helping us narrow things down without making us feel rushed. The workmanship was excellent, and the details were handled carefully from start to finish. Now that the kitchen is done, we use the space differently than we ever did before. It is easier to cook, easier to entertain, and honestly just a much nicer room to spend time in. We are extremely happy with how everything came together.
We recently worked with Kitchens By Lombco on a kitchen project and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was easy to communicate with, showed up when they said they would, and kept everything moving without making the process feel chaotic. What stood out most was how much attention they paid to the details. They took the time to explain the options, answer questions, and make sure the design actually worked for the space instead of trying to force a one-size-fits-all solution. There were a lot of decisions involved, but they made them much easier to manage. The quality of the finished work was excellent and the kitchen feels completely different now. Everything looks clean, well thought out, and professionally done. I’d definitely recommend Kitchens By Lombco to anyone in the Lexington area considering a kitchen remodel.
Kitchens by Lombco made our remodeling project a much better experience than we thought it would be. We appreciated that they offer start-to-finish service, because it made the entire process easier and gave us more confidence along the way. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. They listened to what we wanted, offered helpful guidance, and kept the project on track. It was clear they care about both the quality of the work and the customer experience. We’re very pleased with how everything turned out, and the space feels like a real upgrade to our home. I’d gladly recommend Kitchens by Lombco to anyone planning a kitchen or bath remodel.
