About us

Kent Kitchens, was created in 2001. However my experience in kitchen remodeling dates back to 1992 in the USA, and from 1976-1980 in my native England. The name Kent is the county from which I was born, hence the name Kent Kitchens. I have 4 honest hardworking crews with years of experience in the home improvement field in all aspects of kitchen remodeling. John Hutchins

I am thrilled with my new kitchen and highly recommend Kent Kitchens. John , the owner, was totally responsive and never disappointed. The contractors were so cooperative and helpful. They took care of everything that came up and the work was perfect.

i have used this company for several renovations in my house. My kitchen, in 2014 and, this year, 2024, my bathroom. From assistance with purchasing product to meticulous work in installation, standards are very high for all who work for this company. Special thanks to John for all his help in creating these spaces (kitchen and bathroom), and in particular to Marek. There is no one more professional, knowledgeable and focused on the details than Marek, a multi-talented, multi-taking individual! This is my go to company for any renovation and interior design work. Prices are very reasonable too! You won't go wrong with this Kent Kitchens!

I had my cabinets re-faced And got new doors and drawers installed with slow close hinges and drawer slides and a quartz countertop which is very nice. I had a few minor issues but we resolved the issue and I am very happy with everything, transformed my whole kitchen without buying new cabinets. I would recommend Kent Kitchens for an estimate.

Beautiful job, very reasonable price. And the staff replaced all the knobs on my other cabinets, no extra installation charge, so they'd all match. I said I'd do it myself, but they did it for me.

We remolded our entire kitchen. John conceptualized and made suggestions that we used. The kitchen turned out wonderful. Marek was our installer and did everything from start to finish. He is wonderful at his craft, prompt, and very clean. He was very patient with me and all the questions I asked. There were a few bumps in the schedule of completion but they were resolved quickly and to everyones satisfaction. Mostly due to the production of cabinets and the fact my building was closed to construction for 2 weeks. I would use John and Marek again and highly recommend them.

We had our cabinets refaced and we also added additional new cabinets. The quality of the new cabinets and the doors and drawer fronts was excellent, and everything matched perfectly, including all moldings. Everything was completed as promised. No surprises. Workers were very skilled and kept the area clean and tidy. Great job. We are very happy. Saved quite a bit compared to getting all new cabinets.

John at Kent Kitchens is easy to work with. He conceptualized the transformation of my kitchen right away and I wasn't disappointed. Very, very reasonable cost and the work was done on time. Marek is friendly, punctual, and extraordinarily talented. I am so excited about my new kitchen!

We were almost persuaded by another company when John messaged we might be wise to get a second opinion, and were pleased he could replace cabinets entirely and do the floor for less than the first company, and was willing to add items to the scope of work, like replacing ductwork for the exhaust above the cooktop, and replacing a pocket door -- things his installer would be able to do. Our difficulty was selecting cabinets, as this was during the pandemic and we had to make selections from what we could view online. Eventually we decided we wished to have cabinets made in the U.S., and the same with other products. John was very patient. Eventually we also selected countertops from a U.S. company; that created a delay, as we had to wait until that company reopened (showroom was closed), and for the countertops to be made. That company also did installation. John has an excellent kitchen cabinet installer, Marek Msciwojewski. He installed the cabinets beautifully; he moved/replaced pipes under the sink, cut and placed moldings, did electrical work effortlessly, put in flooring, put a new pocket door in place. John said Marek did good work and he did not exaggerate. John checked in from time to time while Marek was at our home. We remain very pleased with the results and frankly glad to have had this engrossing project to focus on during the spring and summer of this year.

John and his team had a tight deadline and hit it. As with any project, unexpected items pop up. My only suggestion (which I voiced to John) would be to proactively communicate and help me clearly understand the potential unexpected items. This would help the transparency from the customer side. John always picked up his phone or texted back, even late into the night. He is personally committed to giving you a great experience. The price was also fair, especially for the quality of work. Thank you John!

John was extremely prompt, professional, courteous and understanding from start to finish. John is very honest and will not sugar coat/oversell his services. The pricing was fair. We had a less than stellar experience with our first kitchen installation and his contractor Mike reinstalled new doors and drawers and trim that were defective. They went above and beyond by correcting mistakes that the original contractor made including (but not limited to) building out and stabilizing our island that was not built correctly to begin with. We couldn t be happier and feel really lucky that we found Kent kitchens on home advisor. I would recommend them to anyone. I only wish we would have known about them 12 years ago!

John Hutchins and his team had remodeled my 3rd floor unit in my Andersonville 3-flat in 2005. It is now 15 years later, and my kitchen still looks beautiful. I have worked with a lot of contractors for my properties over the years, and learned some hard lessons about delays, unreliability, bad quality, and required oversight to get things done. Going forward, I will not hesitate to call Kent Kitchens. Bottom line: Pricing was reasonable for the quality of work, and most importantly, no headaches in getting the project done right.

Probably the most professional, fastest, cleanest, and knowledgeable group that I've worked with. They were quick but it didn't feel rushed. Even the built-in spice cabinet / pantry turned out well, which I figured would be a strange requests. John was open and accommodating to our design details while giving great advice. Our 1000 sqft condo received quite the upgrade with a upper, lower, and island cabinets, new counter, sink install, and backsplash. Hire these guys for your next project.

John [the owner] knows his stuff! He envisioned the modified kitchen layout while working with my specific requests. I never felt pressured and he kept me informed of whether my ideas were items I could reasonably add to my budget. His site workers were always on time, helpful, focused, precise in their work, and super tidy! He also has a network of granite/marble installers and tiling professionals that are exceptional.

John Hutchins and his crew led by Marek did a great job. I absolutely love the design and functionality I now have. I am amazed at how everything turned out with non-custom cabinets which kept cost in line. The large drawers and no-slam closures are awesome. Work was completed as promised. Crews were hard working and respectful of my home. They stayed on top of making sure plastic kept the dust from roaming and cleaned up after themselves at the end of their day. I chose Kent Kitchens based on the reviews and they didn't let me down. I had a small issue months after the job completed and it was taken care of promptly. Thank you John, Marek, and crew for the best kitchen ever!

Great communication from the owner. Always on time and hardworking. Courteous, attentive, and great attention to detail. They work within your budget and deliver a quality end product. Also, their contractors are multi-talented - can address electric, plumbing, even drywall/paint issues as they pop up. No need to call in another pro, they can handle it all. Great experience.
