FitzPatrick Design and Cabinetry

Fitzpatrick design and cabinetry designed and managed every detail of my new kitchen. The completed project exceeded my expectations and is admired by friends and family.

Christine and Edward of Fitzpatrick Designs did an amazing job on our kitchen redesign. From the first meeting to the final day they were thoughtful, responsive and actively involved. They are a pleasure to work with – the entire process was painless (and that’s saying a lot for a full kitchen reno.) The design was executed perfectly, on time and on budget. We started with a dark, interior kitchen from the 50’s and ended with a bright, cheerful space that perfectly suits our family’s needs. Edward’s cabinet installation was meticulous and done with great pride. The fact that they are locally based is a strong plus as well. We very strongly recommend Christine and Edward for your project. They are a great team.

Over the past 10 years Ed has helped me with nunerous custom projects in 3 diff homes - fixing kitchen cabinetry and molding after a leak, creating addtl cabinetry to match existing kitchen and repairing various items. Quality work - always done efficiently and honestly and with a smile. Local roots in community are a plus!

The complete replacement of our kitchen cabinets was done professionally. Care was taken at every step and our wishes for the design and materials was respected and used. They are a pleasure to work with. We recommend them to all.

Christine and the rest of the FitzPatrick team did an amazing job on our kitchen redesign. She suggested some ideas that transformed our kitchen/Greatroom into something we had never imagined. The job was done on time and on budget and we would strongly recommend Christine for your next project.

Christine did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel. We wanted to accomplish a lot within a strict budget and she came through with some unexpected design ideas that worked beautifully The job was done on time and on budget, we highly recommend Christine and the rest of the FitzPatrick team for your next project, you won't be disappointed.

Moving on to our latest home improvement project, we did not hesitate to call FitzPatrick Design again. Our prior experience made this an easy decision. For all other decisions we had Edward and Christine’s professional help and support. This was a smaller project than the first two but they gave it their usual attention. Ps, the color choice was perfect! Thanks

Our project involved completely redoing our kitchen while retaining the original footprint and appliances we inherited when we purchased our house. From the first meeting, Edward and Christine were meticulous with details, measurements, color, and design specifications regarding our cabinets. Christine quickly understood the aesthetic I was shooting for from the Houzz photos I shared and was able to make suggestions about other design aspects of the kitchen although she was clear that her expertise pertained to the cabinetry. She helped me source a new sink and microwave, weighed in on my hardware and lighting selections, and recommended an excellent counter stone company in my area. Likewise, Edward excelled in his domain: installing our cabinets and fitting all of the interior shelving. He is a perfectionist about his role, as his wife is about hers -- together they are a solid team who took pride in executing my vision. Our project had minor snaffus that Edward and Christine remedied in a straightforward manner. My only critique would be that I sometimes felt a little unsure of what needed to happen next: I think it would have been helpful to have a written timeline with an explanation of all the steps, and what I needed to do when. I eventually figured all of this out, but I think Christine could have taught me more about the process up-front and then communicated proactively throughout. That said, whenever I had an issue or concern, Christine was responsive and helpful, and she did have several outbound emails and texts to me. My family and I are thrilled with our new gorgeous kitchen; our cabinets are beautiful, sturdy, and functional. I highly recommend Christine and Edward to your family.

FitzPatrick Design did the original installation of my cabinets several years ago. Occasionally I've needed adjustments and they are always very responsive. I would definitely use them again for future projects.

We worked with FitzPatrick Design on the design and custom build of our kitchen. It was a pleasure working with Christine and Edward. They gave us great ideas on the design, both in terms of aesthetics - our kitchen is contemporary with clean lines, and practicality. We love how functional and easy to use everything is; we have a lot of windows in our kitchen and hence not much space for top cabinets. Christine put a lot of time and thought into laying out the cabinets so all available space is used in the most efficient manner, literally not wasting an inch. The execution and installation were also done quickly and professionally by Edward - everything looks and works great. They designed a custom hood for us which is exactly what we had in mind. We had also chosen flush installation for our appliances, which is pretty challenging to execute, and Christine and Edward ensured that everything fitted in seamlessly with the cabinetry. We would work with them again on any cabinets or built-ins we decide to add to our home. They are a great team!

I write this review with a big smile on my face. My new kitchen turned out absolutely stylish, magazine quality, and functional and for that, I deeply give credit to Christine and Edward of Fitzpatrick Design and Cabinetry. They are AMAZING!!! Christine is top notch designer and her projects reflect her professionalism and skills. I had an idea and she made it a reality. Ed is the best master carpenter around and his custom-fit kitchen cabinets installation was beyond perfection. I highly recommend Fitzpatrick Design and Cabinetry for the best quality project designs and custom-fit cabinetry installations and for excellent results and service. Thank you so much Christine and Edward. Best wishes for continued success from John G.

I am so happy to write a review of my experience with Fitzpatrick Design and Cabinetry .. I needed to have my kitchen remolded and was completely overwhelmed at the prospect of having to do it. Christine and Edward made the entire process not only stress free ( well as stress free as a renovation can be ... it is never completely stress free) but an enjoyable experience as well . Christine was constantly coming up with new ideas but even more important she would listen to my ideas and help me make the most practical decision. It was such a relief to come in so close to my budget of $75,000.00 . All my friends told me that never happens. I think this did happen because ,as I said before, both Christine and Edward listen to what I wanted and would tell me if I could afford it within my budget and if not that would come up with excellent alternatives . I was so pleased with my kitchen I also had Edward ( who is a master carpenter) do some bookcases for me. His knowledge of wood and wood finishes is excellent and so hard to find in this day and age..

LOVE our townhouse kitchen designed and built by Christine and Edward a couple of years ago. Edward's custom kitchens are sturdy, versatile and just beautiful. Ours has weathered the time so far perfectly and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. We are grateful to them both for their combined experience and expertise!

FitzPatrick Design recently remodeled our kitchen in CT. They listened carefully to our wishes and opinions and came up with a couple of options. We edited one option, basically a white and green plan (northern exposure - dark room). These people have 20 plus years of experience in installation. It shows in the careful workmanship. Minor problems were corrected to our satisfaction. All in all this was an excellent, professional job. We encourage anyone to consider Fitzpatrick Design.

In April 2015, we installed a large number of inset cabinets in a white finish in a full kitchen remodel. The kitchen looks very nice but there are things about the cabinets that I think could be better. 1) The interior metal latches get in the way of putting items in the cabinets--and the magnet makes a rattling noise when the doors are opened and closed. 2) The hinges on the corner cabinet get in the way of the lazy susan such that it will not spin around. In general the hinges are big and bulky on all cabinet doors. 3) On the glass front cabinets (we installed 4), the door has three hinges. The middle hinge gets in the way of placing the glass shelf even with the grid on the glass door front. My husband took out the middle hinge so the shelf would align. Now when you open the cabinet there is a large round hole on the inside of the door where the removed hinge was. 4) The double oven cabinet (a $5900 item), came with about 6 inches of wood above and below the double oven opening resulting in the drawer below and the cabinet above being undersized and looking very out of proportion (too small). I looked at dozens of photos of double oven cabinets on Houzz and NONE of them looked that way--the appropriate spacing is 2 to 3 inches above and below. I could not "live" with a cabinet that looked so wrong. Christine "split" the cost of a new cabinet but that design flaw cost $3K out of my pocket. Not the kind of thing that makes you feel great since it was not my fault. This, and a few other items with cabinets which I will not go into, delayed the completion of our kitchen by a month. 5) I just noticed a cabinet with damage on our island that I did not see during installation. The sun was shining on it a certain way and now I see a ding in the draw and paint rubbed off probably by strapping during shipment. I am disappointed this was not caught before installing the cabinet. 6) When we ordered the cabinets my contractor asked several times for a delivery date so that he could schedule other facets of the project. This information seemed difficult for Christine to get from the cabinet supplier (Canyon Creek). These are the kind of details I wish I knew about before the installation. I hope this review helps others anticipate some details I had no way of knowing about when working with Canyon Creek and FitzPatrick Design.

It's rare you find design professionals like Fitzpatrick Design who "get it" from the word GO. Most designers in American suburbs like Westchester, NY specialise in classic or traditional design versus the clean, modern aesthetic more commonly found in major cities or European kitchens. Christine had an intuitive sense of my very specific design objectives and worked closely with me to achieve the perfect "modern organic" look without it feeling clinical or cold. Since I live in London, Christine went above and beyond normal project parameters -- going so far as to source European appliances as well as rare, raw-edged wood that perfectly contrasts the stark lines of the rest of the kitchen. As pure bonus, Christine is excellent at client relations. She's no-nonsense, responsive, makes suggestions within budget and has a keen eye for colour, space, texture and design. Ed's expertise in wood and cabinetry and his vast knowledge and experience in working with a variety of materials makes Fitzpatrick Designs a clear stand-out amongst any other kitchen & cabinet design company out there.

Christine of Fitzpatrick design did a wonderful job on our kitchen design and cabinetry. She is calm, creative, responsive and particular about the little details that make a kitchen special. We couldn't be happier with the results and recommend her highly.

Christine and Ed are a delight to work with. Reliable and diligent, they will make recommendations yet design a kitchen with functionality and style suited to your needs and requirements. We were referred to them by our friends and have recommended them to ours.

Christine designed, and Edward installed the kitchen of my dreams! She was sensitive and realistic about what I need in my kitchen, both practically and aesthetically. He was efficient, courteous and timely with the installation. Both were fair, honest, and delightful to work with. They are a great team!

Fitzpatrick Design has done many projects for us over the last 12 years. Their attention to detail, care, concern for the outcome and quality has proven to be of great value for my company over the years. Our clients love to work with them and I highly recommend using them.

Ed Fitzpatrick installed my new kitchen several years ago. His excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail were complemented by a professional demeanor. As a testament to the high quality of work, my kitchen still looks brand new and I have not experienced any problems.

Ed Fitzpatrick restored the porch of our 1883 house. It looks like the day the first owner walked through the front door. He assembled a team of craftsmen that understood old houses; found an 80 year old craftsman who copied the 6 column bases in mahogany on a 75 year old lathe; made sure all the structural elements were in place and everything was plum , so this great old house would last for another 100 years. Not anyone can work on an old house. I think they have to feel it. Care about it. Ed's enthusiasm to do it right is something you don't find often. We are happy to have finally found him and plan to work with him this Spring.

I recommend FitzPatrick Design, Inc. as an honest & trustworthy contractor. The interest and wishes of the customer are always considered highest priority. Ted H. Storm Larchmont

Edward FitzPatrick is knowledgeable about wood and its many varieties, thoughtful about what can be done with those choices of woods, and skillful at putting his plans into effect. He's done many different projects both inside and outside of my old house (the largest, a cedar closet), always with great care and talent. R. Neschis

Fitzpatrick Design is a wonderful company to work with. i have worked with them on several of their projects, supplying the kitchen appliances, and their attention to detail and follow thru is terrific. I have only heard excellent comments from their clients throughout the completion of the projects. I would certainly recommend them for a kitchen renovation anytime.

Ed Fitzpatrick & his firm repaired our 800 square foot, 120 year-old wooden front porch. (We had used several people/companies before him, none able to do a satisfactory job). The work of FitzPatrick Design was exceptional. Timely, reasonably priced, and...most important of all...an exquisite result!!! Ed is a master craftsman, and will not settle for anything less than perfection.

We used Fitzpatrick Designs to renovate a very outdated kitchen in our house, and were extremely pleased with the results. Christine is a trained and accomplished chef, and Edward an experienced, knowledgeable and detail-oriented fine carpenter. That means with Fitzpatrick Designs, you not only get an expert in the design and installation of kitchens, you get an expert in how a kitchen is used. They came up with ideas we didn't think of, and probably stopped us from making some mistakes. The process was painless and the work timely and professional. I highly recommend Fitzpatrick Designs!

Christine and Ed FitzPatrick designed and executed the kitchen in our new townhouse last year. The project involved combining the dining room and the kitchen with nothing old left behind. Not only was the outcome dazzling esthetically, but the functionality is everything that we wanted. We worked closely and cordially with the FitzPatricks all the way across the finish line. In addition, they designed and constructed a library/video room/bar which draws praise from everyone.

Fitzpatrick Design installed (and designed) our entire kitchen. The kitchen was installed almost 7 years ago (time flies) and it looks as good today as it did when they installed it. Very satisfied with the look and quality. Highly recommended!

Very professional to work with and committed to customer satisfaction. The continuity this company provided from start to finish was refreshing. Being able to communicate and coordinate all aspects of design, installation, and completion with the same person is invaluable in this line of work. Seemless transition from concept to finished product.

Edward and Christine FitzPatrick designed and installed my kitchen. They made the design process much easier than I thought it would be and showed me many different floor plan options. Edward’s installation was flawless and we have been enjoying our kitchen ever since. I would recommend FD to anyone who wants a beautiful, functional kitchen. Peter DeSimone, Homeowner

Our second kitchen was completed by the Fitzpatricks last year. The beach house kitchen needed a design that fit in with the rustic interior. Their design incorporated up to date quality cabinets and appliances with original cottage features. As usual, a job well done!

Edward FitzPatrick of FitzPatrick designs is a pleasure to work with. He takes great pride in his craftsmanship and his attention to detail really shows in his work. Through the entire process, communication was excellent. Ed is both punctual and organized. My wife and I are extremely pleased with with our new kitchen and would never consider using any other contractor for future projects. With the thousands of contractors out there, Ed has really superseded our expectations and sets himself apart from the rest.
