Design-build
Your Trusted Partner for Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
Welcome to Thomas Maxwell Kitchen and Bath Design Build, Cape Cod's trusted design-build partner for kitchen and bath design and remodeling. If you've been living with that cramped 1980s galley kitchen or a bathroom that's long overdue for an update, you already know it's time for a remodel.
What stops most people when they come to this realization isn't the renovation itself; it's the thought of managing a designer, a contractor, and a materials supplier who may never actually talk to each other. That's what design-build solves. At Thomas Maxwell's, one team takes you from the first design conversation through installation and final walkthrough. So, whether you're transforming a kitchen, updating a bathroom, or tackling both, we're ready to help.
Kitchens
Your Kitchen Transformation Starts Here
Kitchen Design
Every great kitchen starts with a plan that fits how you actually live. Our designers create custom layouts that solve the problems your current kitchen has. Whether you need a new layout for two cooks, an island for gathering, or just smarter storage, we turn your vision into detailed 3D renderings before any work begins.
Kitchen Cabinets
Your cabinets set the tone for your entire kitchen. We work with premium brands like KraftMaid, Waypoint NatureKast, and to create configurations that fit the way you actually use your space, whether your style runs classic, coastal, or clean and modern. Each cabinet is built to hold up with the kind of quality you notice the moment you open a drawer.
Kitchen Countertops
The right countertop balances beauty with everyday durability. We offer quartz and granite in a range of colors and patterns, professionally installed to precise specifications. These surfaces handle everything from meal prep to homework sessions while looking great for years to come.

Kitchen RemodelingA kitchen remodel gives you a chance to redesign the entire space to better reflect how you actually use it. The goal is to balance elegance with everyday function while protecting your home value.

Bathroom RemodelingYour bathroom should be a retreat, not just a necessity. Whether you dream of a spa-like en suite, an efficient family bathroom, or a refreshed powder room, we design spaces that fit your routines and help you feel at ease.
Basement FinishingMany Cape Cod basements sit unused except for storage. We turn these dark, damp spaces into actual living areas.
Custom ClosetsWe create custom storage solutions that fit what you actually need to put away. We can help with walk-in closets, pantries, mudrooms, and built-in shelving.
Handyman ServicesSometimes it's the small projects that matter. Our handyman services handle repairs, installations, and maintenance that don't require a full renovation timeline.
Why homeowners choose us
Why Cape Cod Homeowners Trust Thomas Maxwell Kitchen and Bath Design Build
Choosing a remodeling contractor is a big decision. You're inviting someone into your home for weeks or months, trusting them with a significant investment, and counting on them to deliver results that will last for years.
Here's what sets us apart and why homeowners across Cape Cod have trusted us with their most important home improvement projects.
Over 20 Years of Cape Cod Expertise
We've been working in Cape Cod homes since 2003, completing over 2,000 kitchen and bathroom projects across the region. That means we understand what makes these houses unique. We know how to navigate historic district requirements, work around the quirks of coastal construction, and handle the kinds of homes you find here.
We understand which materials hold up to coastal humidity and salt air. We're also familiar with the quirks of homes built across every era here, classic Cape Cod style homes, mid-century ranches, and the newer construction you'll find throughout the region today.
The Design-Build Advantage
What does working with a design-build team actually look like week to week? Your designer is the same person who's connected to your installation crew, so when you decide to shift the island placement after seeing the 3D rendering, that change doesn't get lost in a handoff email. Tom Anderson, with 33 years of industry experience, and Meagan Marshal, with 12, handle design alongside a crew that installs what they draw.
That direct connection is what keeps projects on track. Problems get caught in the design phase, not after the demo, and if something needs to be adjusted mid-build, the conversation happens in one place rather than bouncing between two companies who each think it's the other's problem.
Licensed, Insured, and Credentialed
We hold a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #200707). We carry $4 million in general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're BBB A+ rated and members of NARI and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.
Every project comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and our kitchen cabinets include Limited Lifetime warranties. These aren't just credentials on paper. They're your protection and our commitment to quality craftsmanship in everything we do.
Transparent Process You Can Trust
We don't believe in surprises. Every project starts with a clearly defined scope, detailed selections, and a written agreement, so you know exactly what to expect. Our clients get real-time access to project schedules and updates through our cloud-based project management software, and we don't disappear when the job is done.
If something comes up after completion, we have a clear service process to handle it promptly and professionally. Our reputation is built on long-term relationships with Cape Cod homeowners, not one-time projects.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
More answers on our FAQ page, or call 508-295-1311.
Kitchen remodeling costs vary widely depending on the size of your space, the materials you choose, and how much of the layout you're changing. A minor kitchen update might start around $30,000, while a complete transformation with custom cabinetry and high-end finishes can reach $100,000 or more. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your specific goals and budget.
A standard bathroom remodel takes 3 to 6 weeks from start to finish. We work efficiently while respecting your daily routine, and we're mindful of Cape Cod's seasonal considerations.
No. We handle all permitting for your project. With our Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #200707), we take care of all paperwork, inspections, and coordination with local building departments. You don't need to visit town offices or worry about permit requirements.
It depends on where you live and what you're changing. Towns like Sandwich, Barnstable, and Yarmouth have Historic District Commission review requirements for exterior changes, such as windows, doors, and exterior finishes visible from the street. Interior renovations typically don't require HDC approval, so most kitchen and bathroom projects aren't affected. But if your project touches anything exterior, we'll flag it early and walk you through what's needed.
Salt air and humidity are real factors here, especially if you're within a mile or two of the water. For kitchens, we steer most coastal clients toward quartz countertops over granite. Quartz is non-porous and handles humidity without the sealing maintenance granite requires. For cabinets, we pay close attention to finish quality and recommend brands and configurations that resist moisture infiltration at the joints.
