Stillwater Building and Renovation is a design-build general contractor run by owner Kevin Lamb, based between Natick and West Boylston and working across the Greater Boston/MetroWest area on full-scale renovations, additions, and new construction.
The written record runs unusually long and clean for a small firm — 17 reviews spanning 2014 through 2026 across eight different sources, with essentially no complaints on file. Customers describe Kevin directly, again and again, for being responsive, hands-on, and easy to reach by phone throughout a project. Specific jobs described over the years include a top-to-bottom exterior and interior renovation with a new roof, granite steps, and custom kitchen and baths in a 2017 review; an Azek deck finished after the homeowners fired an earlier, unscrupulous contractor, described in a 2016 review; and a bathroom renovation after a pipe burst, where Kevin coordinated the plumber and electrician directly so the homeowner didn't have to, described in a 2015 review. A 2026 review from an architectural photographer who has spent time in several of the company's finished homes — without having hired the company directly — called the craftsmanship and attention to detail standout.
BBB accredits the company with an A+ grade and lists 12 years in business, which lines up with the review history dating to 2014. Multiple directories list Massachusetts contractor licenses for the firm — a Construction Supervisor license, a Home Improvement Contractor registration, and lead-safe renovation certifications on Houzz, and an active Home Improvement Contractor registration on BuildZoom — though none of these were independently confirmed against the state registry here; BuildZoom also notes two additional, inactive Newton licenses for the firm.
Directory profiles disagree slightly on the company's exact home base — West Boylston on BBB and Houzz, Boylston on BuildZoom, Natick on Procore — which is likely just multiple offices or a move over the years rather than a different business, given the consistent name, owner, and work described everywhere. For a full-scale renovation, addition, or new build in the MetroWest area, Stillwater's long, consistently positive record with a single named point of contact is a strong signal — worth confirming the current license status directly given the directory-only sourcing above.
