A load-bearing wall came out of a kitchen and dining room in an April 2026 renovation, and the homeowner came back to recommend MEM for exactly that kind of job — new cabinets, new appliances, and Matt's team running the structural work. MEM Build Design works out of East Bridgewater and covers South Shore towns including Pembroke; BuildZoom names Matthew Bessette as the owner. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #213237, is active on the state registry, and the company's own site describes a remodeler focused on kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Three more Google reviews, from January and February 2026, describe the crew taking on the plumbing and electrical adjustments the work turned up, and laying out costs and timelines clearly. All five Google ratings are 5 stars. One thing to sort out before calling: the Houzz profile carries a menu of more than 150 services, from roofing and siding to masonry and foundation work, while the website and the BuildZoom listing describe a narrower business — kitchens, baths, basements, whole-home remodels and additions. Ask which parts of your job the crew does in-house. For a South Shore kitchen or bath remodel, especially one that moves walls, this is a reasonable call. Ask to walk a finished kitchen with the owners before you sign, and get the registration number and insurance written into the contract.
I would definitely recommend MEM for your kitchen renovation needs. We had MEM do a major structural renovation of our kitchen and dining room, including taking a load bearing wall down and all new kitchen cabinets and appliances. Matt's team did an excellent job. Matt was highly communicative throughout the process and navigated a number of curveballs throughout the project while still honoring his original price, seeing the project through to completion with a high attention to detail.
The team delivered high-quality workmanship and exceptional service throughout the entire project. They went above and beyond expectations, skillfully handling necessary plumbing and electrical adjustments to ensure the job was completed properly. All aspects were managed efficiently, with clear communication regarding costs and timelines from start to finish.
High quality work. The team delivered excellent workmanship and service, going the extra mile to handle all plumbing and electrical needs professionally. The project was completed efficiently with clear communication on costs and timelines.
