Kitchen and Bath Remodeling, Finished Carpentry and Woodworking

About us

We build and install custom pull out shelves for your existing cabinets. We are a Texas owned (non-franchised) company. David Hughes founded the company in 2009 and has 25 years of experience in cabinet making and kitchen design. Our product is made from high quality solid maple or 9 ply Baltic Birch Plywood. There is no particle board or Masonite in our pull out shelves. We use a UV cured polyester finish that will never wear out chip or scratch under normal use. We use full extension ball bearing glides. When a shelf exceeds 24" in width we install a, fully captured 1/2" thick bottom to eliminate any sagging on our 100lb capacity product. We are priced less than other, professional, pull out shelf companies.

What a pleasure to work with a true professional. We made an appointment for David to came to our house. He arrived on time. He measured our kitchen cabinets for pull-out shelves. He told us when they would be ready and we set a date that day for installation. On installation day he arrived on time and spent about 6 hours installing the pull outs. It's been over a week and everything is working beautifully. I highly recommend Kitchens Alive. They do what they say they will do.

Kitchens Alive was contacted in early July, 2015 to provide an estimate for pull-out shelves for my kitchen cabinets. Within a short time after the initial contact, Mr. David Hughes, the owner, made arrangements to come to my home to measure and give me an estimate for the shelving. The price that he quoted was about half of what had been quoted to me by another shelving company and included good quality pull-out shelves for all of my cabinets.. Within a few weeks he returned to install the custom shelves. He arrived on time, was very professional and courteous, and did an excellent job. I am very pleased to date with the completed work. I would use this provider again.

Dave is professional and precise. His bid came in lower than the major competitor but he is the owner and has been in the furniture business his entire career so his quality shows. I highly recommend him over the high priced franchised competitor.

This service was performed about six months ago. I meant to write my review immediately afterward but just didn't get around to it. The fact that I am doing so now is a testament to how delighted I am with my new drawers. Every single day I think what a great investment they are. It is such a pleasure to be able to pull the drawers out and actually reach items. They make so much better use of space; I'm organized and neat. The drawers and tracks are of high quality, very sturdy and pull out very smoothly. Dave was prompt, always professional, and cleaned up afterwards. Like I said, here I am six months later still enthralled with how wonderful it is to have the pull out drawers. While individual drawers were not very expensive, when we added up all the shelves I wanted (a total of 20) and added the customization, the total cost was more than I had originally planned to spend. However, I have not regretted it one bit and if we ever move, the first thing I will do is call Dave to come put in pull out drawers.
Description of Work: Dave came to my home to measure my cabinets and provide an estimate of cost for services. He also suggested some customization which made my storage more useful. I ordered the drawers. Dave called when they were ready a few weeks later. We set a date for installment and he returned to put them in. (I had every shelf space in lower kitchen cabinets, under the kitchen sink, and under both sinks in master bath retrofitted with pull out shelves. This included customization for two areas and double decker shelves under all sinks.)

David was easy to work with and very professional. He did an excellent job of our kitchen pull-out shelving installation. Good quality product, fair price and good workmanship. These full pull-out shelves help to keep our kitchen better organized and run more efficiently. My husband and I are very pleased with our new kitchen pull-out shelving.

The day he came to do the cabinets I wasn't able to be there but he sent me pictures so I could see what t looked like when he was done. I was so excited!!! I couldn't wait to get home and load up the cabinets. One advantage - I went through everything and got rid of stuff I actually don't use. One disadvantage, in the laundry room, some of the spray bottles are too tall to stand up so they may need to go into the area under the sink or something. However, it is so nice to be able to roll out the drawers and find items at the back of the drawer that I wasn't even aware I had before!! Some things I had bought multiples of because I didn't know I already had them! So while it cost me money to put them in it saved me a little bit of money because I won't be spending money on necessities anymore before I really need them. He did a great job and I'll be having him back to do the kitchen which is lots of cabinets and I'm wondering how he'll tackle two corner cabinets, bar cabinets, more master bath cabinets, plus a lower set of cabinets in a bathroom that has lots of miscellaneous in it!!!
Description of Work: He was very prompt in responding to my request to come out & meet with me for an appointment. I was nervous about having these put in but I've wanted them for some time. He had a case with sample drawers with him and worked up a quote while he was here. We talked about the construction of the drawers and the tracks. He told me how he could take doors that were facing each other & take the dividing strip on the cabinet, fasten it to one of the cabinet doors, and then make the drawer twice as wide which is fantastic! I had him quote 3 cabinets (2 of which was converted into a double wide) done in my laundry room & 2 cabinets done in my master bath.

Having these pull outs installed was the best thing that we did to our kitchen. It allows for better storage and accessibility. Measurements were taken of all cabinets where pull outs were to be installed. We had 13 installed. (With 12 we could have two free.) We also had dividers (5) installed in the deep cabinet above the oven to store cookie sheets, cutting boards and any item that stacks vertically. That worked out beautifully! The pull outs were ready to install in four weeks. Installation took about an hour +.
Description of Work: Pull out drawers were installed to replace deep shelving in kitchen cabinets making accessibility so much easier.

David was prompt, professional, and honest. He gave me more than I asked for. He had quoted me a price for shelves at the 3 inch height. When I asked about some deeper shelves for some of my cabinets, he threw in two at no extra cost. He also glued back a problem cabinet that had lost it glue due to age at no extra cost. He was in and out in a very short time and left me no mess at all. I always appreciate a small family owned business, and this is one of the best that I have encountered.

David did a great job. On time and installed when he said he would. He did a great job of cleaning as he went and after. He was also about 25% less than other companies.

Working with David from first phone contact to install was fantastic. The product and the company exceeded our expectations. We are doing the project in two phases and will be starting phase two soon. Why do it yourself when it can be done professionally, efficiently, with high quality materials for the same price. I highly recommend Kitchen Alive.

Those pull out shelves are probably my favorite thing out of my whole kitchen. They are so helpful. It was well worth it.
Description of Work: Kitchens Alive LLC. did pull out shelving in our kitchen. We did all the shelves in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in the cabinet in our living room. We put a shelf everywhere you could put a shelf.

See above.
Description of Work: Kitchens Alive: David Hughes measured and conformed the majority of our kitchen cabinets into easily accessible sliding shelves. He also did the same with my pantry shelves and made the ones for canned good reinforced for greater weight.He actually created one area in my kitchen island where I can now keep all my cookie sheets,Pizza pans, and bags of onions and potatoes etc. for easy storage as well.In addition, he made the hardest areas to reach areas in my deepest cabinets useable by providing double storage sliding shelves.He was prompt. And although he had some illness in his family (and the birth of his child occurred ahead of schedule) each time David called me to let me know that he might need to reschedule but would let me know. He called in advance of our scheduled appointment and there really was no inconvenience in that area.I will mention that we had one wooden shelf which was defective, David told me that this was his first in working with thesupplier he has used for years. He called the supplier immediately and ordered a replacement. He came back as scheduled with the new wooden shelf and I was able to use the defective wooden shelf without a problem until his return.Overall, a very positive experience. I would recommend David Hughes and Kitchen Alive (and have) to my friends.My husband gave these shelves to me for our anniversary and I was thrilled. Because they are not inexpensive.Kitchens Alive"s price was the most reasonable.Michelle Billingsley

Forecast 2 working days. Approximately 4 units/day. Arrived on time. Finished on time. No do's. No don'ts. Would not hesitate to use this contracter for this purpose again.
Description of Work: Seven (7) units including under sink. Kitchen's Alive does not do anything else other than pull out drawers in exinsting cabinets. No cabinet installation, No refinishing. Had difficulty finding under under Angies Listings, because we were looking specifically for pullout drawers for existing cabinets. Excellent workmanship, and just as important for us, highest quality materials.

We had a few roll-out drawers in our original kitchen cabinets. Since they were so much more convenient when accessing stored items, we decided to get more. We saw an ad for and quot;Kitchens Aliveand quot; in a local flyer and after confirming they were on Angie's List we gave them a call and scheduled an appointment. David arrived right on time, fully explained the product, took careful measurements and gave us a quote and an estimated time frame for fabrication and installation. The quote was reasonable so we gave him the go-ahead. He called when the roll-outs were ready to schedule installation. On the scheduled day David was punctual and efficient. It took him less than two hours to install all 12 roll-out drawers. We would unreservedly recommend Kitchens Alive for anyone looking for high-quality, professionally installed roll-outs. It was a pleasure doing business with them.
Description of Work: The company installed a total of 12 roll-out drawers inside existing kitchen cabinets.

Initial measuring was done by a salesman for a quote and was then followed up by final measurement and some suggestions by David. All of the suggestions were good. Once the shelves were manufactured, we received a call from David to set up installation. Installation was completed as set up and we are extremely pleased. We highly recommend.
Description of Work: David measured, custom-built and installed pull-out shelves for our kitchen, bathrooms and even for our home theater cabinet. All work was done professionally and installed in one day. The cabinets took about 4-5 weeks to produce and were then installed promptly. The shelves were made the width of the entire cabinet and not multiple shelves on either side of the "stile" which would have doubled the number of shelves in many of our cabinets. This also means there is no wasted space behind the "stile". We are extremely happy with the shelves

First, let me say I had a hard time finding any company in Angie's List, to do this work. That was because there is no category for Roll Out Shelving, Shelvings or Storage problems. I did not want my Kitchen remodeled and felt that a remodeling company wouldn't want such a small job. So I found an add in "The Home Mag" which is a magazine dealing with "anything and everything" for your home. I always use Angies List but was at an impass because I couldn't find a contractor. I first called one of Kitchens Alive competators, They came out showed me the product and it was what we wanted and I placed a down payment on the order. Then I began to think the price was much too expensive. Knowing I had three days to cancell I called Kitchens Alive, who I also found in the Home Mag, to get a cost estimate to compare prices. When I called I talked with the owner, Dave he ask if I knew the sizes. I gave them to him and within an hour sent me an e-mail with a quoted price. He said he would have to come out to get exact measurements to get an exact cost. He said he could come out the next day and he did at the exact time he said he would arrive. After taking all the measurements and showing me his product the price was actually a little less that what the e-mail quote. The products from both companies were almost identical in materials used. Kitchens Alive product was a thousand dollars less than the first company. I immediately sent a letter cancelling the first companies order and placed my order with Kitchens Alive. Dave, told me it would take about 3-4 weeks to have the draws made. In a few days short of 3 weeks the draws were completed. He called me to set up a date and time for the install. He called the morning of the install to tell me he was on his way and showed up right on time. The work is now complete and the draws look and work great. Dave did the install himself and he was neat and cleaned up after himself. I found out during the install that Dave had just joined Angie's List in the past week..
Description of Work: I had Kitchens Alive install 8 roll out shelves in various kitchen cabinets.
