Wendel Klein Design Build

Wendel Klein Design Build is a Cambridge design-build firm, founded in 2007, that pairs an in-house architect with the construction crew — the kind of setup where you get plans and renderings to approve before anything gets built, then one company handles the subcontractors and permits from there. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is active. In a 2025 Reddit post, a homeowner describes exactly that process: the architect produced initial plans and renderings to critique, minor adjustments along the way were easy because the original concept was documented in detail, and the subcontractors and permits were handled in-house — one check, one point of accountability, costs known upfront. In a February 2026 review, another customer describes a kitchen and bathroom renovation in a 100-year-old house as beautiful, creative, and meticulous, praising a highly collaborative team. A separate 2025 review describes a kitchen and half-bath reconfiguration where the team — architect, builders, and painters alike — responded quickly when small elements needed correction. On Houzz, the company holds a 4.9 rating from 8 reviews along with two Houzz Awards. For a Cambridge-area kitchen or bathroom renovation where you want one firm managing the architecture through construction, this is a strong design-build option.
