United Kitchen & Bath Designs, Inc

United Kitchen & Bath Designs, based in South Yarmouth, is a Cape Cod kitchen-and-bath remodeler that says it has been putting new kitchens and bathrooms into local homes since 1985. Owner Jim Bird runs the crew day to day, with Meredith handling client coordination -- both names come up again and again in reviews. What people who hired them keep pointing to is communication under pressure. One 2026 review describes a full kitchen demo and first-floor flooring job finished before Memorial Day so the family could move back in for the holiday, with photo updates the whole way through. Another homeowner, describing a tub-to-shower conversion built around an Onyx wall system, said the crew cleared and cleaned the site every day of the install. A third customer came back for a third remodel in five years, calling the team the most professional and responsive contractor they had used and crediting them with meeting every commitment. The Google reviews behind that are few but consistent: 4.7 stars from 14 ratings, and every quoted review from 2025 and 2026 is five stars. Reviewers name Jim and Meredith directly rather than offering generic praise -- the kind of specific detail a padded review set doesn't usually bother with. One 2025 review covers a less glamorous job: repairing a vacation home after water damage, with the crew working around the owners' busy summer schedule. Before booking, it's worth asking about paperwork. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #149725) is expired, according to the state licensing registry, and BuildZoom separately lists an older general contractor license, #116929, that lapsed back in 2000. The company's own site also prints a license number, ROC# 1234567, that doesn't match any verified state record -- worth a direct question rather than taking it at face value. BuildZoom's listing also carries a different street address and a different named owner than the company's own site, though the phone number is identical, so it's worth confirming you're booking the current operation at 1 Huntington Avenue. For a full kitchen or bathroom remodel on Cape Cod where you want the owner staying close to the project with daily updates, the reviews point to a team people call back.
