What Building Professionals does

Building Professionals Inc. (BPI) is a privately held, family-owned design-build residential remodeling firm founded in 1994 by Bob LaFleur and headquartered at 103 Main St., Westford, MA. The company serves homeowners across Massachusetts and New Hampshire with end-to-end home improvement services spanning kitchen and bathroom remodeling, custom decks and porches, sunrooms, home additions, exterior work (doors, windows, roofing, siding), and a niche DIY consulting offering for self-directed homeowners. BPI operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market executed through in-home consultations, showroom appointments at its two Design Center locations (Westford, MA and Littleton, NH), home show participation, and an inbound content marketing engine built around an educational blog, email newsletter, and Facebook/Instagram presence.

The company's technology layer is limited but functional: it uses Chief Architect design software to produce realistic 3D renderings and computer models that allow clients to visualize project outcomes before construction begins. Its product architecture is not a software platform but rather a co-located service-and-retail ecosystem — the Design Centers simultaneously function as showrooms, material retail outlets, and operational hubs for three wholly-owned sub-brands (Concord Cabinetry, Custom Design Sunrooms, and JCL Home Improvements), with material sourcing partnerships spanning MasterBrand Cabinetry, Andersen Windows, Cosentino (Silestone/Dekton/Sensa), Fitzgerald Tile, and Mercier Flooring.

BPI's revenue model combines project-based design-build construction fees (kitchens, baths, additions, decks, sunrooms, exteriors) with hardware sales through its Design Centers. Pricing is project-specific, determined via in-home consultation, with financing options offered for qualified projects. The customer base is exclusively residential homeowners — a fragmented long-tail of SMB/individual buyers — with revenue depending on project volume, average ticket size, and material margins rather than recurring subscription or enterprise contracts. The company holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #117932) and Robert LaFleur holds a Construction Supervisor license (CS-048827).

Emerging players
