Watch City Kitchens, LLC

Watch City Kitchens is the remodeling arm of a LeBlanc family building business that the company says has worked Waltham and the surrounding towns for more than 80 years — the same family runs Thomas LeBlanc & Sons Electricians and LeBlanc Contracting alongside it. The kitchen-and-bath shop pairs design, cabinetry, and installation, working in conjunction with LeBlanc Contracting on larger jobs, and its stated service area covers Waltham, Newton, and Belmont. The written record backs up the scale that history implies. On Google, 30 ratings average 4.9 stars; on Houzz, 21 ratings average a perfect 5.0 across 43 published projects, with four Houzz Awards, five badges, and a credit for appearing on HGTV's House Hunters Renovation and Bang for Your Buck. The Better Business Bureau lists the company — also known as Thomas LeBlanc & Sons, LLP and LeBlanc Contracting — as accredited with an A+ grade. Customers keep naming the same people: Tom LeBlanc, Anna, Eric, Eddie, Seth, Damaris. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described Watch City and LeBlanc Contracting gutting an entire first floor — kitchen, bathroom, family room, living room, and office — of a 100-year-old house down to the studs, crediting Anna's design input and Eric's project management with keeping the job on track. Two 2021 reviews describe full kitchen-and-bath remodels finishing on time and on budget, one in Newton during the pandemic and another that included tearing down a wall. More recent reviews, into 2026, describe similar work: full kitchen remodels with steady updates, clean job sites with daily cleanup, and one from a real estate company that hired Watch City to redo a kitchen for a newly designed office. Not every account is glowing. In a 2024 review, a homeowner called the staff unhelpful and rude for insisting on a scheduled appointment rather than letting them casually view cabinets — a front-of-house friction point rather than a complaint about finished construction work. For a full kitchen or bathroom remodel — especially a larger, multi-room gut renovation — Watch City Kitchens has the track record and trade family behind it to handle scope most single-crew outfits wouldn't take on; just plan to schedule a proper showroom visit rather than dropping in.
