Most of what people say about Thomas Maxwell Kitchen & Bath comes down to who they worked with, by name — a design lead credited review after review for walking clients through cabinet, material and layout picks before any wall came down. The East Wareham firm says it has been doing kitchen and bathroom design-build work on Cape Cod since 2003, with a stated service area running from Bridgewater and Plymouth south through New Bedford and Taunton. It carries a 4.8-star average on Google across 63 ratings and an A+ from the Better Business Bureau. The written history runs deep — 42 Google reviews stretching back to 2021, most of them full kitchen remodels with a scattering of bathroom and basement work. A 2025 review described a dark, cobweb-filled basement turned into a finished space with a half bath; a 2023 review recounted a full kitchen gut that also swapped laminate for hardwood on the main floor, with every subcontractor called out as skilled at their trade. In a 2023 review, one customer said cabinets that arrived damaged in shipping were replaced on the installer's own initiative, without being asked. Several people came back for more: a 2025 review mentions the same owner having two separate kitchens done at two different houses, and another 2025 review describes a new shower install for a customer whose kitchen the company had remodeled back in 2012. Not every account matches that pattern. A 2022 review described the opposite experience — wrong orders, wrong cabinet dimensions, repeated schedule changes, and subcontractors showing up without knowing the job — and said the field worker who'd done most of the work was ultimately let go. It's the one sour note in an otherwise steady record, but worth asking about directly. Separately, the Better Business Bureau's A+ listing for this address and phone number names the entity behind it as Open House, LLC, doing business as Thomas Michaels Kitchens, rather than Thomas Maxwell — the same operation shows up under more than one name depending on where you look, so confirm which name is on your contract. This is a design-forward call for a full kitchen or bath remodel where a homeowner wants a specific person guiding cabinet and material decisions — not a same-day fix-it job — and it's worth asking who exactly will be staffing the crew given the one account of a breakdown between the office and the field.
Amazing job!! We worked with Tom to create the design and pick out all the features. Meagan was the best!!! Her communication, work ethic, candid outgoing personality, and attention to detail were all things that made our kitchen and 1st floor what it is today! Connecting with Tom during different intervals of the project was helpful and allowed us to ask the important questions throughout the process. We could not be more satisfied with the outcome of this project and they were all a pleasure to work with (including all their subcontractors). The ease of just being able to contact them to handle anything was worth every penny.
We stopped in to look at having our kitchen and bathroom cabinets replaced because our cousin had her whole kitchen done by Thomas Michaels Design and they did a fabulous job! We worked with Tom, Meagan, Ryan, Josh and Liam. They were all extremely helpful and friendly through the whole process. Tom worked with us through the design process, handling any changes that we asked for. Meagan kept us informed of the schedule, and Josh was very attentive to detail during the installation. As the project came to a close, they worked off our punch list very quickly. We love our cabinets and counter tops!
My beautiful kitchen was installed in a very timely manor. I stayed within my budget and I LOVE cooking in my kitchen everyday!! Thanks Thomas Michaels I will recommend you to all my family and friends.
Several years ago I was lucky enough to find Thomas Michaels to help with a major kitchen remodel that I was running from afar. As a designer, I appreciated their meticulous attention to detail and quality control. As a customer, I was thrilled with their communication and terrific crew of subcontractors. Last fall they came to the rescue for a less "fun" job, rebuilding an old shed addition. They managed to work within our tight timeline and modest budget to deliver a wonderful product. They are friendly, creative and generous, and I can't recommend them more highly!
After a year of frustration with contractors who did not call back or come back or write the promised estimate, a friend suggested TMD because they are honest and reliable. TMD is located a little farther from my location but I decided to try talking with Tom. My experience starting with that initial meeting has been exceptional. In truth: phenomenal. TMD truly wants to fulfill their clients wishes. They are very clear about their well thought out and experienced process. Each step on the journey from initial design to choosing materials through final payment is thoroughly explained. Communication is key to any good working relationship. TMD excels in good communication. All my question in person or via calls, emails, texts throughout the project were answered promptly. Every time! The team is trustworthy. So important if you are not on the premises, as I was not. Their craftsmanship is top notch. Their attention to detail, quite frankly, amazing! The team is devoted to their craft and proud of their work as well they should be. Work is completed on time and on budget. I cannot say enough about this remarkable experience ending in a gorgeous new kitchen and new windows in other areas of my home, done just how I dreamed it could be. Tom, Meagan, Ryan, Edson thank you for your professionalism and caring concern for me and my home. It has been an absolute pleasure! Kathy Murphy
