An in-law addition and renovations to the existing house brought one homeowner to Lightship Development through an architect’s recommendation. Writing on Angi in May 2025, a year after the work was completed, the customer said Dave and Kim kept their promises and that the contractors working with them arrived when expected and were polite. The customer described a couple of miscommunications, but said Dave and Kim handled them fairly. They also called the price competitive after considering other contractors. Lightship says it builds custom homes and completes remodels and additions, and describes itself as woman-owned. Based in Norton, it lists a service area that includes Braintree, Bridgewater, Cohasset, Duxbury, Easton, Hingham, Mansfield and Scituate. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. A January 2025 Angi reviewer described a major renovation in a very old home. They credited Kim with organizing subcontractors and providing several updates each week, and Dave with handling the details on site. The customer said the project finished on time and on budget, while also noting a minor delay caused by factors on the customer’s side. Another January 2025 reviewer described an addition and renovations to the main house and praised the result. Scheduling also mattered to an April 2025 Angi reviewer who said they had worked in architecture for more than 35 years. Lightship renovated that customer’s home on schedule, and the reviewer praised the craftsmanship and called the cost fair. A different April 2025 reviewer described a fast estimate and being fitted into the schedule quickly. In February 2025, a repeat customer said the company kept them informed of schedule changes. Google shows 4.3 stars from three ratings, while Angi shows 5 stars from 14 ratings. A December 2024 Google reviewer praised Dave’s building skills, Kim’s design eye and communication, and the outcome of construction in their home.
A great Company from start to finish! Exceeding expectations throughout! Thank You!
Dave and Kim came highly recommended by our architect and built a life changing in-law addition to our home and also took on some much needed renovations in our existing home. I'm writing this a year after the work was completed and could not be happier. The quality of the work was great and Dave and Kim kept every promise that was made. I also feel that the trustworthiness of any vendor or contractor can especially be measured when something goes wrong. While it was rare, we had a couple understandable miscommunications along the way. They were extremely fair with how these were handled. Construction costs are so high that it feels really good to still feel like it was money well spent. We also looked at other reputable contractors in the area and found their prices to be competitive. The contractors they worked with also showed up when they said they would and were polite. Overall it was a really positive experience.
Got back to me fast with an estimate and was able to fit me in their schedule quickly. Excellent workmanship
I have been in the field of Architecture for more than 35 years; Lightship Development is one of the best Contractors I've dealt with. They did renovation work at my home and performed everything right on schedule and with a very high level of craftsmanship. Both Kim's and Dave's quality of work and scheduling are top notch. I feel the cost of the work was fair and definitely well worth the finished product. I highly recommend Lightship Development and am greatful I got the chance to work with them and get to know them.
They company was professional, on time and very detail oriented. They work on a strict schedule, and always made us aware of any changes to it. We have had them do other jobs for us over the years and their work is aways top notch. We would not want to use anyone else.
