Sticks & Stones Kitchens

Mel Stevens has run Sticks & Stones Kitchens as a sole proprietorship since 2013, according to its Better Business Bureau profile, which grades the business A+. The company describes itself as a kitchen and bath remodeling and interior design outfit, with showrooms in Plymouth and East Falmouth. Its Houzz profile carries a 5.0 average from two ratings, two Houzz badges, and a listed BAS in Interior Design and Architecture. How far it travels depends on which page you read. The company's own site names Plymouth and East Falmouth; the Houzz listing advertises a service area stretching across the South Shore plus Cape Cod and Nantucket. Worth settling before you plan a project around a showroom visit. A sensible call for a homeowner who wants the design and the build handled by the same small shop. Before signing, confirm the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, get the scope and schedule in writing, and ask for a couple of recent kitchen or bath references.
