Ted Kelley's customers have a habit of hiring him twice. One wrote in March 2013 that TMK updated their bathroom and did it well enough that they had the crew back the next summer to renovate the kitchen completely; in November 2016 another described two major projects in the same house, a bathroom and a kitchen. TMK Remodeling is a North Andover sole proprietorship with three employees, and BBB lists the business as started 1/1/2013, with Kelley as the manager. The written history is dated but detailed — a 4.9 average across 13 Houzz ratings, every visible review falling between March 2013 and November 2016 — and what those customers describe is process as much as craft. A February 2014 reviewer whose vintage 1900 bathroom was expanded and remodelled called the worksite clean and orderly, with communication and documentation first rate. In a December 2013 review, a full remodel of a small master bathroom held to its original schedule, and when the shower door that homeowner had specified didn't hold up, TMK negotiated with the manufacturer for a higher-quality door at no additional cost. A March 2013 customer's custom garage renovation — demolition, painting, custom cabinet installation — came in on budget. The permit trail runs alongside that: nine permitted projects between 2014 and 2018, bathroom and kitchen remodels plus a Westford sunroom addition and deck and door work, valued from $3,250 to $68,100 across Merrimack Valley and north-of-Boston towns. Licensing is what to raise first. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts licence #165887 for the company with an expiration date of 04-04-2022, marks it expired as of 04-03-2026, and says Mass.gov Consumer Affairs showed that licence at one point cancelled. Houzz carries a different number, 105086, and the "CSL, HIC Registration and Insured" line on that profile is the company's own description of itself. Ask Kelley which registrations he holds today and in whose name, and get the numbers in writing before anything is signed. For a kitchen or bath remodel in the Merrimack Valley where a written schedule and a tidy site matter to you, he is worth the call. Start with the paperwork, and ask to see a recent local project, since the reviews on file describe work from 2013 to 2016.
TMK has done 2 major projects in my home, bathroom and kitchen. Beautiful and well done! By far of any re-modelers I have used they are the best. Will use again and again
This was one of my best contractor experiences. Something that drives me really crazy is a contractor that does not show up when he says he will or call to let you know. Ted started and finished the job in a timely manner and was responsive to all my inquiries. He did things by the book (getting all the proper permits) and had good ideas for changes that needed to be made In addition my kitchen came out beautiful and I love it. And when I had a plumbing leak almost a year later, he had someone there within a couple of days to fix it.
Great estimate given, and very informative. Very helpful and great to deal with and cant wait for the project to begin.
TMK expanded and remodelled my vintage 1900 bathroom. Ted bought some great ideas ot the table and worked to incorporate my vision as well. Quality of work performed was great, worksite always clean and orderly, and communication and documentation was first rate. You'll find guys who have the trades skills but not the business skills-- Ted is strong in both areas, plus he has lined up some really excellent subs to make for trustworthy one stop shopping and an overall painless experience.
Ted was extremely organized, communicative, trustworthy and professional from the initial development of the scope of work right through project completion. Ted's positive attitude and demeanor made him very easy and enjoyable to work with. Ted made helpful design recommendations along the way that enhanced the overall value of the project. We are very pleased with the end result and will not hesitate to utilize Ted's services on future projects.
