Kitchen Design Professionals in Madison, WI

“Jenny was wonderful to work with. Her designs were very thorough and easy to read. She was great to work with, always available and ready to answer any questions. She walked us through all steps and made sure that the installation process was simple and not stressful for us. She stayed in our budget and took responsibility when something was wrong or needed to be fixed. We were very happy with her ability to design a small space and make it feel bigger and maximize the space to its potential. We love our kitchen, mudroom and bathroom that she designed. They are spaces that we truly love to be in and enjoy. Our remodel/renovation would not have been as much fun or as easy if she wouldn't have been involved. She is great at what she does and we would absolutely hire her again.”

“My husband and I undertook a six-figure home addition and renovation to build a chef's kitchen. We consulted four different cabinetry businesses, and selected Curran for the following reasons: 1. Mr. Curran provided us with design renderings that enabled us to view not only the finished cabinets, but the overall finished appearance of the kitchen. This was something not even our general contractor was able to provide. 2. Mr. Curran worked with us over the course of several sessions to design specific aesthetics into the cabinets; we were not looking for specialized functionality as much as we were a very custom appearance. Mr. Curran tirelessly worked with us to ensure that appearance was achieved. 3. Mr. Curran showed us what the finished product would look like, including highlights of the construction and design. These were not out-of-the-box cabinets, but handcrafted, quality pieces of workmanship, and Mr. Curran was both proud of and excited by the work of his cabinetmakers. The final product is beautiful, functional, easy to maintain, and appropriate to the space. Other subs involved in our project eagerly commented on the beauty, uniqueness, and appeal of the work. We are incredibly pleased and cannot recommend Mr. Curran and his cabinetmakers highly enough. Truly, our experience was outstanding.”

“Niki did an awesome job with the plans for our basement bar area. We love how it all came together! We're having her back for our kitchen!”

“Denise brings expertise and insight to all her projects. She is honest and goes above and beyond with every client. It is not just a job to her. The success of every project and the joy the client has at completion is what energizes Denise. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with DC Interiors and Renovations on a kitchen and dining room project. They transformed their client's space by remodelling the layout, new flooring, bold new color choices and stunning wallpaper. I worked with them to achieve their window covering dreams and add the finishing touches with fabric. DC Interiors and renovations are professional, innovative in their design and take care to make sure the client is happy every step of the way. Being their own general contractor makes it easy to oversee everything and ensure the project runs smoothly from start to finish. I look forward to working with them again.”

“I have been working with a general contractor over the past year on a large renovation project and have been very disappointed with the overall customer service, project management, communication, and cost of the contractor with whom I’ve worked. As a result, I decided to outsource the final finishing work to another contractor, in hopes of finding a better experience. I was looking for a contractor who could meet my expectations in terms of professionalism, quality service, schedule, fair pricing, reliability, and trust. I found that with Mike at Edge Construction. I contacted Mike at Edge Construction after hearing an advertisement on the radio. Mike responded promptly and offered flexible times to review my project and offer a quote (free of charge). My finishing project included installing baseboard and door jamb trim throughout my house, as well as installing several custom closet doors. During the consultation, Mike walked through my property asking questions about what I wanted, what was important to me (cost, material, timelines, etc.), described how the work would be done, and explained options for materials and methods to consider. Knowing that cost was a key consideration for me, Mike offered to unbundle his services to allow me to work directly with his recommended suppliers to keep my price at his cost (the tradeoff being that I took on the responsibilities of coordinating timing, material ordering, material defect management, etc.). Mike was able to offer me a rough estimate at the time of the walk through and followed up within a week with a formal quote. The quoting and contracting process was casual but comprehensive. Mike offered a low pressure buying experience, with information and options to meet my needs. The estimate overall was provided at a very fair price point, with some portions being significantly less expensive than other contractors. Something that differentiated Edge during the quoting process was while reviewing the project with me, Mike talked through the projects I was asking for directly, but also offered insight to additional areas with which he could assist to improve the work of the other contractor. What struck me is that while talking through those additional areas, Mike was very respectful of the other contractor’s work (complimenting some portions of it), as opposed to degrading it to build an “up sale” opportunity, but was straight forward in expressing his recommendation. During that discussion, he suggested that I bring those areas to the contractor’s attention for resolution, as that is what he would do if it “was his house”. Mike was most concerned with helping provide a quality complete end product that I would be happy with, regardless of who was doing the work. I ended up having Edge Construction address those recommended areas (which Mike agreed to do at a very low price), in addition to the original finish work Mike quoted for me. Even though I took on the responsibility of ordering materials and coordinating schedules from suppliers to reduce the overall project cost, Mike did assist me by offering a final review of the material order and even following up with the supplier at one point when the material delivery was delayed. Edge Construction remained flexible with their schedule and accommodated my needs very well during material procurement. Once the materials arrived and Edge Construction began their work, I was impressed. The team was very professional, friendly, cleaned up the job site each day, and even accommodated some small on-the-job requests I made. Mike checked in on the work with his team and remained a point of contact for me, to assist with any questions or needs I had along the way. The job took about 1.5 days longer than planned, but was primarily due to unanticipated complexity and additional time needed to do the job correctly. When those complexities and associated schedule extensions were identified, Mike communicated that to me to ensure my expectations were managed. Despite the slight extension to timeline and unexpected complexity, the project came in on budget. At the closure of the job, Mike walked through the work and addressed any questions I had. Mike was prompt to provide an invoice at project closure and flexible with my payment schedule. I was very satisfied with the quality of the work and project overall. I have since worked with Edge Construction on an additional finishing project (trimming the windows) and plan to work with Edge to trim my kitchen island. Edge has continued to provide good customer service and quality; while remaining responsive, flexible, fair, and well-priced through those other projects. I finally found a contractor I look forward to working with again in the future.”

“Blue Terra did a patio project for us several years ago (it still looks great) and we were actively trying to sell our home and move to a home that didn't have a deck on it. We called Paul to see if he would be willing to do the deck project and he told us he could, but that his business was trying to focus on kitchen remodeling jobs. Well, our house purchase fell through and so we decided to invest in our existing home, and we started with a complete kitchen remodel. We contacted Paul at Blue Terra first given the great job they did on the covered patio project. Paul came over to spec the kitchen project and made sure he understood what we wanted and how we planned to use the space. He came back with a proposal and quote and we were pleasantly surprised at the bid given the the fact that we were getting custom cabinets built from the ground up. We shopped a couple of other kitchen remodeling companies and they couldn't even come close to the bid from Blue Terra. Blue Terra spent the next few weeks building the cabinets and working with the granite company to coordinate the project. They also made sure they knew the size of the appliances we were buying so there would be a perfect fit. The installation itself took about a week. We had the kitchen stripped down to the bare walls before they arrived so they could get started on electrical and plumbing and they were installing the cabinets within a couple of days. Jesse, who built the cabinets, also did the installation. Jesse was very particular and precise and made sure that everything was "perfect". The quality and craftsmanship of the cabinets is very evident. Jesse even used the same boards on cabinet fronts that were next to each other so you could literally see the wood grain running from one front to the next. While that might seem like a minor detail, you won't get that from any just any company. Once the cabinets were in place the granite company came to get exact measurements so they could cut our countertops, which took a couple of weeks. While that may have been troublesome for some to have a kitchen without countertops, it wasn't an issue for us as the way Blue Terra builds their cabinets, we literally had very durable and usable "tops" so we had workspace until the granite showed up. We've received so many compliments about the kitchen and how it looks. We've had it now for two years and we enjoy it even more. I've recommended Paul and Blue Terra to several people and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Paul must have been proud of the job they did here because it's a picture of our kitchen at the top of his Home page (http://www.blueterradesign.com/) and is the first project on the Kitchen page (http://www.blueterradesign.com/kitchens/ - Natural Cherry Kitchen). The cherry has aged and darkened to an even more beautiful finish than the day it was installed. Thank you Paul and Jesse!!”

“Julia Chady was our lead interior design professional when she conducted our 2013 kitchen remodel. We found her to be professional, highly capable, very easy to work with, budget-minded, and terrific at getting all the various contractors on schedule. She was always open to our design suggestions and helped us arrive at our ultimate design. Julia's negotiation skills allowed us to get the Cambria quartz countertops we REALLY wanted, instead of our second choice, which saved us thousands of dollars. We've lived with this kitchen for two years now and we still absolutely love it. Julia Chady is our go-to interior design and remodeling expert. When we are thinking about a design project, it is Julia that we turn to for her expert help.”

“Sue and Sean of C and D Construction made my oversized attached garage into 3 rooms: a master bedroom with wood burning stove, laundry room and bathroom. They came in after I had wasted a year with an unscrupulous contractor and saved me. They were very professional, and gave me the chance to tell them exactly what I wanted and gave it to me. Also, very good about letting me know what each phase cost. I believe they have pictures of this project if you would like to see them. I am having them replace all my upstairs windows this year. I recommend them highly”
