Kitchen Designers Plus No Longer In Business

After lots of research online we decided to meet with John from Kitchen Designers Plus after looking at their site and reading the many recommendations. We were wary about some of the glowing testimonials, knowing that renovations never go as smoothly as you hope or you hear.
We went into our first meeting with John with pictures from magazines and other sites thinking that we 100% knew what we wanted. John was able to take our vision, with his experience and product knowledge and give us 3D drawings of what the finish product could look like. We were blown away and completely hooked.
John was able to fit in our small condo kitchen renovation into the schedule quickly which was great and beyond our expectations. He gave us a timeline of 6 weeks total from start to finish and secretly Steve and I planned for the job to take 8 to 12 weeks based on past personal experience and the experiences of friends. We wanted to be realistic and not set ourselves up for disappointment.
The job started on time, with John, Paul and Bruce working with us and Habitat for Humanity to ensure that all removed material could be donated to Habitat for Humanity. This was absolutely above and beyond as we were adimate that we wanted our old kitchen, still in very new good condition to be recycled.
We've all heard and seen many horror stories about contractors leaving huge messes, material all over the place, sometimes dangerous wires exposed and an overall lack of respect for the home owners space. I have to say that Paul and Bruce were far from this. Each day Steve and I arrived home to a clean, tidied and organized home. Because we live in a 1,300 sqft condo, this is hard to do and obviously was a priority for the duo. Freshly swepted and washed floors, materials disposed, equipment put away, it was amazing and great to see. Living in a small space undergoing a large renovation is scary, but Paul and Bruce made this a great experience and allowed us to keep our focus and excitement on the daily changes to the space and how great the finish product was going to look.
Claudio then came in and worked his magic on all the new lighting, moving all the electrical that needed to be moved from the wall that was removed and was able to get everything done quickly and on time.
John, our designer/contractor, was in daily contact with us, addressing the many questions, concerns and throughts. He was never out of reach and really ensured that we received outstanding customer service.
It's hard to believe that our 6 week kitchen renovation actually took less then 6 weeks. We were able enjoy our very first home cooked meal in our finished, new kitchen before the end of the 6th week.
From start to finish, our experince with John, Bruce, Paul, Claudio and the rest of the Kitchen Designers Plus staff was industry leading and beyond our expecations. Although this was not the least expensive option, the end product is outstanding and we couldn't be happier.
We would highly recommend Kitchen Designers Plus to friends and family.
