Kitchen Designers in Hebron, CT

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“The jobs, kitchen and flooring, were very well done. They were clean, thorough in explaining issues and easy to ask questions. Definitely recommend them.”

“Ann was very professional and always punctual. There were many details she added that I never would have thought of. She stayed within our budget and was one step ahead of us through the whole project. She was terrific to work with and I would highly recommend her to others. I love love love my new kitchen.

“We did remodeling for our kitchen and bathroom with New England Kitchen and Bath. Very helpful and organized staff. Amazing ideas. Designers help us to build the most beautiful kitchen and very unique bathroom. Five stars!”

“KBDC designed and built a stunningly beautiful (and ideally functional) new bathroom for our traditional center hall colonial. Like other houses of its type, ours had a tiny and outmoded upstairs bath. We wanted something a little more spacious (and gave up a BR closet) and a lot more beautiful. What we got was a showplace with gorgeous materials, abundant storage, and accessibility (since we want to age in place in our home). Lorey Cavenaugh has an uncanny ability to "get" her clients. She designed for my aesthetic and needs,but her vision gave wings to my ideas. Stephanie, our project manager, became my text-buddy, available to answer every question and solve every little concern. She and Lorey oversee an amazing team of craftspeople and technicians. By the way, we are return customers: our 2008 project involved a small addition to the house, a new bath downstairs, a laundry room, and a kitchen that still takes our breath away.”

“Matt Modglin of Kitchen Living is both creative and detailed. He has an excellent eye for design, and immediately provided solutions for our kitchen. He asked about our budget and made a point of staying within it. He also kept us apprised of the delivery schedule, updating us as needed. Kitchen Living sets a very high standard for customer service, and Matt is a real pleasure to work with..”

“Michael Weitz was extremely attentive to our needs and has a great command of his subs. He managed a massive renovation of our house in Mansfield over a period of years (2002 through 2006). First, he created a master bedroom suite. We invited him back to renovate our kitchen, add a foyer, fireplace, and 2 car garage with suite over. We would turn to him again for future projects that we can't handle ourselves!”

“Highly recommend. Very attentive and spot on with design input. The design team was extremely professional, came out to the house and quickly turned around a solid plan w/pricing. I've turned around a number of houses and appreciate Christino's Kitchens attention to detail. I have yet to proceed as I need to drum up the $$ for the renovation, however I found the pricing to be very competitive. More importantly, Christino listened to my needs for the space and saved a huge amount of time in the design decision process. No need to second guess. Took less than 1/2 hour to arrive at material choices and fee 100% confident about decisions.”

“Guidance in layout, colors and helping us to discover what future owners may like in a kitchen were the objectives that we were looking for in a kitchen remodeler. We found just that and more in Paul at Dreammaker. While helping us to find styles and colors we liked, they kept us advised of the price of our choices and kept us from making color mistakes. We were very happy with the construction process. We were amazed at the speed of the demolition and that the team contained the dust quite well. Their team worked hard to stay on schedule and actually finished a bit ahead! They were great in helping us through changes to the plan that we or they found necessary. Their new layout gave us more room so we are no longer bumping into each other and made the room seem so much bigger. We have gotten many complements on the kitchen remodel especially on the back splash and counter space. All in all they did a great job that we have been happy to show off.”
