Description of Work: The design and consultation services were superb. Every person who came to the house was on time, courteous, highly professional, and a pleasure to talk with. Every question I had was answered rapidly and completely and the work was completed on time and within budget. A couple of changes we needed to make in the original plan were handled smoothly and without problems. I would without hesitation contract with Kitchens by Design again, and I would heartily recommend them to everyone.

They were good. I liked the fact that they broke down all expenses and if you wanted to choose a subcontractor or install yourself, you could decide. I did the plumbing myself.

At the end of October 2013 I stopped in the showroom of Kitchens By Design in Allentown. I met with Mike who was very knowledgeable. I made an appointment to meet with him in my home two weeks later on 11/07/2013. Mike spent well over an hour at my home discussing what I was looking for and taking measurements. A few minutes after he left, I realized he forgot his pad with all the notes and measurements. I called the office immediately and left a message. About a week later the office called and said someone would pick it up in a few days. That was on 11/21/2013. Despite a couple of phone calls in December and early January I did not hear from Mike until mid January. He apologized for the delay but had my plans ready. We made an appointment to meet in the showroom the last week of January, but the office called and rescheduled for the following week. Again the day before the appointment they cancelled and rescheduled again for 02/12/2014. I met with Mike on the 12th and looked over the plans. We spent about an hour together looking over the plans, making some minor changes, picking out cabinets, colors, etc.. He gave me samples of all the things I picked to take home and he told me it would take him a few days to get the prices together. Well, after two phone calls and one visit to the showroom (Mike was not in on any of the occasions) Mike finally called back on March 11th, apologized again, and said and quot;he is working on my prices right now and would get back to me within 48 hours. Today is Thursday, March 20th and still no word from Mike.
Description of Work: Nothing. And herein lies the problem.

This company is well organized and quickly coordinates the demolition and remodel in a timely fashion. All of their staff were professional and helpful. They are flexible in working with changes or additional jobs along the way. Communication was good and they are honest and fair. The only negative was that the last few tasks dragged out over a few weeks. whereas the initial work was done very efficiently over the first 4 weeks. Would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen remodel. Involved tearing down a wall and moving a door. New cabinets, tile, appliances, floor.

They were excellent. Lead workers were very professional and the design team just had a good design. Their price was on the higher end but we had people do other work that were on the lower end and we got what we paid for. So I think their price was reasonable based on what they gave us because they did very quality work. They can improve their services on just the beginning stages of the one person that we were in contact with at getting started but once we got started it was good, but getting started was a slow process.
Description of Work: We used Kitchens By Design, they did our kitchen.

They came out, they were very nice and gave us an estimate but we're still looking. A man came and he was really nice and he's very prompt, he came out like within a couple of days and stayed for several hours and measured everything, gave us an estimate and I was very pleased with it. I haven't used him yet and I'm not finished getting estimates on thing.

Work nice, however many weeks behind schedule and had to correct some edge work around the sink to call them back out to correct. Overall, good work however and they do have very good reviews in the area.
Description of Work: Mike and KBD really have very good work for the money. He is very nice with good people skills. Good quality and design work. However several people I've known that used them including me don't have good comments regarding their follow-up, punctuality or maintenance. They rarely follow-up, respond or stay on schedule. My GC has heard similar views on them before. If you are on a tight schedule, be wary of their lack of follow-up. Kithcen design is not that different from one place to another if you select a good designer with reviews, however schedule and responsiveness are equally important to me so I would not recommend them on that basis. There are other kitchen places now in the valley unlike years ago with better service and service is half of what you're looking for with kitchen design. I had to call them once a week for 3 months straight before they even called back to finish the job. And even after that, they never showed up and left my job 99% done without ever putting in the final trim piece. I helped them out with showing them improved design work and materials Mike is now using with other jobs, but he never even bothered to finish my job. Not acceptable, use another design place that actually cares about their customers.

The project went very well. The bookcases look beautiful. Exactly what we wanted. The design ideas were great, they suggested some features we never would have included on our own. When the installers ran into some unexpected problems they came up with a very creative and attractive solution. Their work took our living room from a room we hardly used to our favorite room to relax in. The only thing they could improve on is returning calls more promptly.
Description of Work: They designed and installed new bookcases and a new mantle around our living room fireplace.

We went to four different firms to discuss our needs for remodeling our kitchen. We got design layouts and estimates from three of those firms. Kitchens by Design provided the best design for our needs and their bid price was very competitive with the other bids. Their Sales Manager, Mike Mason was excellent to work with and captured exactly what we wanted in his design. All of the people who worked on installing our kitchen were also excellent. They were very professional and the quality of their work was also excellent. Our kitchen was completed ahead of schedule and we are very happy with the result.
Description of Work: Kitchens By Design completed a remodeling of our kitchen. It included a new design layout, new cabinets, new counter tops and backsplash, new sink, some new appliances, new lighting and some floor replacement.

We contacted Kitchens By Design to replace kitchen countertops at our new home, as they did a beautiful job with the kitchen at our previous home. They came out in a timely manner and provided us with a reasonable estimate for the work we wanted done (new countertops, new hardware and new appliances). However, when we contacted them to start the project they never called us back. We left at least three (3) messages requesting return phone calls and specifically stated that we want to go ahead with the project, but they never called us back. We were very disappointed because we knew the quality of their work and now have to look elsewhere to another company to complete the work on our kitchen.

They have very competitive pricing. They have excellent craftsmanship. They are prompt, neat, and clean. They cleaned at the end of every day. Very knowledgeable with kitchen designs, and I would consider them an expert remodeling company. I hope to use them to remodel my bathroom soon.

The advantage of KBDINC is that they either do or coordinate the whole job (their motto is "Not Just Cabinets"). We started working with their designer in March of 2011. He provided us with several interations of drawings (floor plans and elevations) until we settled on the final design. The order for the custom cabinets was placed in June of 2011. During the summer we selected appliances, plumbing fixtures, floor tile, backsplash, granite for the countertops, light fixtures, paint colors, etc. Due to heavy work loads at the factory, our cabinets did not arrive for installation until September, 2011. Work started on September 24, 2011 and continued with very few pauses until the job was substantially completed about 5 weeks later. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and all workers were courteous and professional. Small variations from the original plan were handled quickly without complaint, and with minimal extra cost.
Description of Work: Kitchens by Design, Inc. (KBDINC) designed (with our participation) and installed a whole new kitchen, including semi-custom cabinets (they were as good as custom), granite counter tops, appliances, electrical work, plumbing, painting, and new porcelain tile flooring. The new tile flooring extended into the powder room and laundry room as well. The electrical work, plumbing, and painting were done by subcontractors who work closely with KBDINC. The applicances were supplied by Allentown Appliance, who also work closely with KBDINC. In addition, KBDINC installed our old kitchen cabinets in our garage to provide us with additional storage space, and installed a new vanity in our powder room.

The person I spoke to was very professional. They wanted to do work that was more custom than I wanted to do for that property so I didn't use them. I didn't compare their prices because I didn't want a custom kitchen. If I needed their kind of product, I would get another estimate from them.
