M.A. Thenen & Co. designs and builds traditional residential homes in Lexington, with a focus on historic restorations, renovations and additions. The company says it is led by Matthew A. Thenen, a master carpenter and historic home design expert, and that its own artisans build each project. Homeowners writing on Google praised the team’s work on antique homes, including attention to detail and quality; a June 2025 reviewer described living in a home designed and renovated by Matt and his team. Older reviews also praise the company’s work with historic properties, though the written history spans 2022 to 2025. The company’s work is a natural fit for owners of period homes or clients seeking a custom renovation with historical detail. Ask about the intended scope, timeline and references for a similar restoration before hiring.

“The house’s siding and slab were also of concern to Matthew Thenen, founder of M.A. Thenen & Co., who inspected the house. He noted that the Six Moon Hill houses were built inexpensively to serve as “very basic abodes[s]” for people in the 1940s. “It was actually supposed to be very simple,” he said during Wednesday’s meeting. ... “These houses were not built to a very high standard of quality when they were initially built and because of this they deteriorate if they don’t get attention pretty rapidly,” said Thenen. “And this one…the interior is a complete disaster, there’s trash everywhere,”
We are proud owners of an antique home designed and renovated by Matt and his team. Their attention to detail and quality is remarkable, truly a gorgeous place to live
