Newton Kitchens & Design is Pierre Matta's Needham-based custom kitchen, bath, and millwork studio, and the clearest signal in its history is who keeps hiring them: not just homeowners, but other high-end interior design firms who bring NKD in as their cabinetry and millwork partner on client projects. Trevor Fulmer Design, an award-winning Boston studio, is one of several that credits NKD's team — designer Yaoying, specifically — for managing stone installation and a custom floating vanity on a client's bathroom. A custom home builder who works with many millwork shops professionally chose NKD for his own house and called them the best in the business. The work described goes well beyond standard kitchen cabinets. Reviews describe a fully custom dry bar with an arched cabinet detail and a built-in ice machine, a wine room designed and built from scratch, and a downtown Boston loft that Pierre gut-renovated top to bottom — reimagining, redesigning, and rebuilding the space himself. Bathroom work comes up just as often: full bathroom renovations are described as smooth and stress-free, with precise tile and fixture work, and one homeowner has had Pierre back for a bathroom refresh even five years after the original project. A whole-house renovation was finished in under three months, on time and within budget. Longevity backs up the craftsmanship claims: one client's kitchen, remodeled around 2016, still draws compliments from visitors after nearly a decade of daily use, with the materials and design holding up. The company carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade, and its Google and Houzz ratings both sit near the top of the scale across dozens of reviews. There's no negative account anywhere in what's here — a genuinely clean run across a large volume of detailed reviews spanning design partners, repeat clients, and first-time homeowners alike. Given the caliber of work described, this is a firm for someone planning a real investment in custom design — a full kitchen, bath, or bespoke built-in — rather than a quick fix. Expect a design-driven process with real collaboration, and budget accordingly for the level of craftsmanship the reviews describe.
“Pierre and Tricia Matta of Newton Kitchens & Design were looking to start fresh when their lease was up, and their new 6500-square-foot space on Wexford Street in Needham provided a blank canvas.”
Newton Kitchens & Design exceeded every expectation. We hired Pierre Matta and his team to design a truly unique custom dry bar in our kitchen, and they absolutely crushed it. From day one, they took the time to understand exactly what my wife and I envisioned and then brought that vision to life with incredible attention to detail. The level of service, communication, and design expertise was exceptional throughout the entire process. They curated a beautiful custom-built cabinet featuring the arch detail my wife had always wanted, helped select the perfect stone, coordinated the ice machine installation, and ensured every element came together seamlessly. What impressed me most was their ability to listen. They didn’t try to force their vision on us, they took our ideas, refined them, and delivered something even better than we imagined. The project was completed on schedule, exactly as promised, with a level of craftsmanship that is hard to find today. If you’re considering a kitchen renovation, bathroom remodel, custom closets, or any high-end millwork project, I cannot recommend Newton Kitchens & Design enough. The quality, professionalism, and end result are worth every penny. Pierre Marta and his team have earned my trust for life. They are my go-to recommendation, and I would work with them again without hesitation. Newton Kitchens & Design all day long. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Working with Pierre and the entire team at Newton Kitchens has been an outstanding experience. I have partnered with them consistently for the past five years on high-end residential renovations throughout Boston and the surrounding areas, and they continue to deliver on every project. What sets Newton Kitchens apart is the level of personal involvement and service you receive from Pierre himself. When you hire their team, you truly get Pierre throughout the entire process — he is always available for a phone call, site visit, or to help work through any detail that comes up along the way. That level of responsiveness and accountability is rare and makes a huge difference on complex renovation projects. Their craftsmanship, professionalism, attention to detail, and overall client experience are consistently top-notch. I would highly recommend Newton Kitchens to anyone looking for a high-quality kitchen and cabinetry partner.
Working with Erica Palm from NKD was an incredible experience from start to finish.

She expertly guided us through cabinetry, lighting, sinks, faucets, hardware selections, and the overall design and layout. With creativity, expertise, and a keen eye for detail, she continually enhanced both the functionality and aesthetics of the kitchen. Her ability to understand our needs and translate them into a practical yet elegant design made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.

We are grateful for her vision, professionalism, and dedication, and highly recommend her and Newton Kitchen & Design to anyone considering a kitchen renovation.
I have had wonderful experiences working with Pierre and Erica at NKD, including designing and building custom cabinets for a kitchen, bathrooms, laundry rooms, offices and a home library during remodeling projects.

They also delivered beautiful cabinets with impeccable quality. The team consistently communicated with me throughout the projects and delivered as planned. I enjoyed working with Pierre and Erica, and highly recommend NKD.
