We had an excellent experience with Lee Kimball. They were communicative throughout the renovation process, collaborative and receptive to feedback, and finished the project well within the projected timeframe.
Absolutely Outstanding After 20 Years!!! We just celebrated 20 years with our wonderful Lee Kimball kitchen, and it’s as impressive today as when it was first designed & built. The thoughtful, well-executed design remains functional on every level, showcasing timeless attention to detail. The flawless infrastructure endures, makes swapping out appliances seamless and effortless. The mahogany cabinets are as stunning now as the day they were installed. Every deadline was met, and the team’s professionalism made the entire process a great experience. No corners were cut. The many custom details and craftsmanship take it to the next level, and Lee Kimball's logistical expertise is second to none. It’s truly a pleasure to enjoy a kitchen that has stood the test of time. It has become a timeless, classic centerpiece of our home.
Lee Kimball was recommended to me by a friend. They remodeled my basement which included a bedroom, family room and a gorgeous movie theater room! Every detail was attentively executed. They run every project in a very professional manner with regular updates, and the best tradesman who take pride in their work. This was a major renovation and they made it painless and almost turnkey. They deliver what they promise and on schedule. I am so impressed that I have hired them again to update my kitchen. I highly recommend this design firm. You will be very pleased with the end product.
We worked with the team at Lee Kimball from the initial idea stage through the design process and construction on a large renovation project. The experience and results were fantastic. Each member of the team is knowledgeable and dedicated to a positive client experience, and this extends to their selection of sub-contractors. We are glad that we chose to work with Lee Kimball and recommend them for anyone considering a home renovation.
