Very few businesses survive beyond the lifetimes of their founding first-generation families. Design House Kitchens is unique in that not only are we over 90 years old, but we’re still family owned and operated.
Description of Work: We first found Design House through a cabinet mfr. website. We set up an appointment with Gil, the showroom manager. Gil is an expert in cabinets and kitchen design and we were impressed from the start. He gave us a "tutorial" about cabinet quality, style, etc. We decided to have him design our kitchen, invited him to our house to see our layout and get his ideas. Design House represents a number of cabinet mfrs as well as counter tops, appliance mfrs. etc. We contracted with Gil to design our kitchen and planned to use one of the cabinet mfrs that he represents. Although Gil did an excellent job with the design, Design House does not do installations. We chose to use Gil's design but opted to go with a contractor who uses a different cabinet mfr. only because the cabinets available thru Design House were more than we wanted to spend. Nonetheless, we can only say that you cannot go wrong with Gil and Design House. He is knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. We highly recommend if you are looking for someone who will create a great kitchen design and provide beautiful cabinets.

She said that the cabinets would be in in about 6 weeks. She did not call me back. When I called almost 3 months later, I found out that she did not work with the company anymore, and had taken paperwork with her. I contacted Diana, and worked with her for a few months. We ran into some problems, and I had to call Design House. This company was very difficult to deal with, and I had to call the manufacturer of the cabinets, who then contacted Design House and told them what to do. I did not enjoy working with this company at all, and would not recommend them to anyone, nor purchase anything from them in the future. There was one woman there that I spoke with that actually was nice and helpful. I should have worked with Kenwood Kitchens in the beginning.
Description of Work: The designer, Diane Bales, helped me pick out cabinetry at Design House, and ordered them.

They were very professional and very, very courteous. They were very reasonably priced. I really liked them all around. I would have used them except for that the other person, who had been used by my friend, recommended highly and so I went with the person who I knew someone who had used him personally for remodeling of things. If I didn't have that person's recommendation, I would have gone with them.

They handled the design, installation, and sub-contracted for the granite and tile backsplash. I thought everything went great. All the contractors were timely and their work was high quality. They were willing to come out and do small follow up jobs. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: They did a complete kitchen rennovation.

They have been in business for at least 50 or 60 years and I could not have been happier with them. The sales person has been in the business for years and she was on the business and industrial site at designing kitchens for probably 20 years. She also went to design school and is fantastic and comes to the house for anything I need. The day the carpenter was putting the cabinets in, she came out to see if I had any questions. I got to pick out my own granite by going to a huge warehouse where I got to pick my own slab and they insist on that rather than you see a sample and then you are disappointed with the results. We used them to put cabinets in the bar area of the club room we were building, but now we have decided to also have them replace the kitchen cabinets. She sent me an E-mail to see how my brother in the hospital was doing and they are that?s the kind of people they are. I spent $1700 on that work and the granite that I picked was a higher quality and it is absolutely gorgeous. The estimate that she gave me was so detailed and she even helped me with getting someone to do the granite surround for the fireplace.
Description of Work: I used Design House Kitchens 3 weeks ago and they installed kitchen cabinets and countertops. She was here on Monday to give me an estimate on the kitchen cabinets.

These people cannot remember their own names. I called them the same day the cabinets were delivered and told them about the broken items. It is 2 months later and I am still waiting for the replacement items. In the interim, they have sent me the wrong replacement items twice. Ugh, I won't use them again!

The price was the best price I was able to find and I was very happy about that, HOWEVER, not only did they charge my credit card more than they told me it was going to cost, they still owe me a refund of about $17.00 and they just tell me they will credit me and then they don't. Only use them if you are ready for a lot of hassles.
Description of Work: Sold me a refrigerator, range, microwave and dishwasher.
