AAI-Poggenpohl

We interviewed every single high-end kitchen company in the DC metropolitan area and deleted AAI-Poggenpohl for its exceptional service, full-service offering, and exceptional product line. We chose well! The process from start to finish was seamless and the results far surpassed our highest hopes! Working with Amir and his team was a real pleasure, which is a true compliment, given how disruptive a new kitchen installation is when you're living in the house. Stop looking, You've found the best team in town!

In my 50 years of homeownership, there have been many home renovation projects, big and small, but none has progressed as smoothly as the most recent kitchen remodeling with Poggenpohl. I remembered visiting the Poggenpohl showroom in Georgetown many years ago and was impressed by the quality of the cabinets and the design of the space, but presumed that it was out of my range. A friend encouraged me to pay another visit to Poggenpohl in Bethesda when I was ready to renovate the kitchen again. There was no question in my mind the minute I walked in that I had found my dream kitchen. The architectural team worked together to create an open space combining a small kitchen with the formal dining room that was both spacious and inviting. Where the stove used to be now is a picture window looking out to the backyard with a view of a myriad of spring blossoms and changing colors of the season. The old-fashioned crystal chandelier was updated to a modern Italian glass. When my friends visited for the first time, the first word they uttered was unanimously “Beautiful!” The construction was on schedule and very thoughtfully carried out. Workers showed up each morning at 7:00 like clockwork and left about 3 or 4 after the day’s work was done and debris completely cleaned up. Subcontractors were held to the same standard. The manager of the company came by each day to check the progress and answer any questions I might have. We worked together seamlessly. The outcome was a beautiful and functional kitchen for my family, friends, and me to enjoy for years to come.

Amir and his team were amazing. They were meticulous in every aspect of the job. They were clean, timely, and courteous at all times. I was so grateful for him. We switched contractors early on in our full home renovation and I'm so glad that we did. At no point did I question the quality of work that was taking place. Lighting, tile placement, paint choice, floors- he guided us in every aspect and made sure that things were installed perfectly. It was a very satisfying renovation and our home is beautiful. Personally, Amir was a joy to work with and eased any fears I had about the process or securing properpermits. They are truly the best and I'm so relieved that he took on our project when he did.

AAl-Poggenpohl just completed two wall units in our home and we could not be happier. The design process was easy and the installation was most impressive. The product is first rate and the respect that the AAl- Poggenpohl ream had for our residence during the installation was commendable. The attention to detail is amazing and the finished product has transformed our home. I highly recommend this team and this product.

My project involved an extensive renovation of my iconic Watergate apartment. The work included an entire kitchen remodel with state of the art appliances and silestone counter tops, as well as new air conditioner housing of the highest architectural standards, new fireplace surround and decorative shelving. The quality of the work was excellent and the workers a pleasure to deal with. The length of the project was prolonged due to Covid and supply chain issues, but I was kept informed at all times along the way as to status of orders. At the end of the project, the attention to detail in completing the punch list was unmatched in my experience. The director of AAI PoggenPohl, Amir Farazad, was a pleasure to work with and I recommend this company without reservation.

Everyone knows Poggenpohl cabinetry is the best... the look and quality of the cabinets is incredible, and the assortment of devices/inserts available to customize the kitchen to the users' preferences and the way users work in it is unparalleled. But the most rewarding part of the experience for us was working with AAI-Poggenpohl to customize the design of our own kitchen. They REALLY understand the multitude of ways in which different people prep and cook, so they were able to help us figure out the design that matches the way we work. We are continually impressed with how well the kitchen functions for us!

My experience with AAI Poggenpohl has been excellent. Amir heads up the organization and he has impeccable taste. Part of my goal was to rid my kitchen of its builder’s grade feel and the other was to have a tranquil space with clean lines. Amir delivered. We knocked down the wall between the kitchen and living room and Amir helped us refinish the floors, banister, and chose a perfect color of paint that brought the new space together, taking into account the color of our existing furniture, etc. I had been thinking about our kitchen remodel for quite some time before I came to AAI, so I had some definite opinions about what I was interested in and Amir accomplished it, recommended some excellent solutions, and kept me from making mistakes. We don’t have an enormous amount of space and the layout is restrictive, so an efficient use of space was important to me. So, I got it all, and it was on time and on budget.

I have done several renovations over the years and no other contractor compares to Amir and his team at AAI-Poggenpohl. If you are in the Washington D.C. area and looking for a top quality renovation or new build, look no further!

They did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation. The work was first rate and they were a pleasure to work with. I felt they were very trustworthy. The cabinets are beautiful and appear to be very well made.

AAI-Poggenpohl designed and built a new kitchen and two new bathrooms for my condo in Chevy Chase, MD. The quality of their work and the professionalism of all of the employees i interacted with (designer, architect, plumber, carpenter, project manager, etc.) surpassed all of my expectations. I knew from day 1 that I would be getting a beautiful, functional outcome for a relatively small space that had been built 35 years earlier. Thank you, everyone, for your flexibility during the design phase, and for the incredible care you showed during the 3-month process. My family and I enjoy my new space so much everyday!

We had Poogenpohl of Bethesda renovate the Kitchen and 2 bathrooms (master + guest) in our condo. They did a beautiful job. Amir Farazad (owner) was a delight to work with. He handled all of the permitting and condo board approvals. Once we decided on a design, it was very easy. His workers are meticulous! Great attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Tom Pheasant & Amir Farazad were my contacts; they designed and oversaw the installation in a co-op building in San Francisco. The builder RNW and 1080 building manager use our apartment show room for future clients. The project was beautiful, functional and brilliant.
