Barb and Al really listened and took into account our budget and what we wanted. The design choices and suggestions were excellent. There was great communication and the work was carried out with care and attention to detail. We particularly appreciated the end-of-the-day clean ups during the messiest parts of the renovation. Everyone who came to work at our home was professional, respectful, and nice. We love our new kitchen. Highly recommend!!! **★★★★★ — Tara, Oct. 2021** > We were very happy with the entire team and the fabulous workmanship! We love our kitchen and the special wood touches the team went above and beyond to make happen. > Thanks TENTEN Kirchens! **★★★★★ — deed2008, Oct. 2021** > Right from the beginning we felt very confident choosing Tenten Kitchens . Very professional from the owners Keith & Barb to every trades person involved with our renovation. We definitely recommend their team for any build or renovation > Nick and Sandy **★★★★★ — Jo Gudmundson, March 2021** > We really enjoyed our kitchen renovation with Tenten Kitchens! We weren’t really sure how we wanted our kitchen redone in the beginning. It’s very overwhelming all the different colours and materials to choose from. Barb walked us through the different options available to ensure that we would be happy with the final results. > > Our kitchen was really outdated, closed off with oak cabinets. We had a wall taken down between our dining room to open it up and removed a banister. Our kitchen was updated with off white cabinets and dark drawers on the island. > > Barb and Al were always really professional. When we expressed concerns, they quickly addressed the issue to ensure our satisfaction. > > I would definitely recommend them to family and friends. In fact, my husband keeps talking about the next project that he wants done with them to update our basement. **★★★★★ — Brigette & Mike Fustey, Dec. 2020** > We hired Al and Barb of TENTEN to give us a quote on our doing a renovation on our main level. We wanted to redo the kitchen entirely and our entertainment wall. They were so patient with us and guided us through everything and made it almost stress free. The end result of our renovation was more than we had hoped for. We actually just contacted them again to do a master bathroom renovation. Al and Barb were such a pleasure to work with and their workmanship is impeccable. I would highly recommend TENTEN Kitchens & Contracting to anyone and I most definitely have. **★★★★★ — Marydel Mariano, Dec. 2020** > My kitchen was perfectly done by this amazing TenTen Kitchen &contracting. Barb and Al would always take time to visit if i have questions or request if they need to. They never do their job in a rush even if i am rushing them to finish right away . I mean... professionals. Its worth the wait. Workers are so friendly and respectful.. even if they have their own key before entering in working hours, they always have to knock on the door. Kudos to these people one thing that i said with Barb is .. SHE MADE MY DREAM KITCHEN COME TRUE. I am giving them more than 5 stars ⭐️ For a job well done and i would definitely recommend them. > I am always receiving a WOW factor whenever i post photos in my social media account. im proud of my kitchen and proud that it was done by Tenten’s. **Comment from TENTEN Kitchens:** > Thank you for the wonderful review, Marydel! We loved working with you and Harrison and love how gorgeous your kitchen turned out! > Barb & Al **★★★★★ — HU-185166458, Dec. 2020** > For several years we have wanted to renovate our kitchen and since we had an open concept living space, we had challenges seeing our vision through. We contacted several designers and contractors but we felt a real connection to TenTen Kitchens and Contracting. From the very first meeting, Barb made us feel at ease as she helped us understand the scope of the work being done. Barb understood our inspiration and vision and was able to produce 3 different design options. We were very impressed with the time she took to help us choose countertops, tiles and flooring. She helped us understand the benefits of different materials and made sure we stayed on budget throughout the renovation. > > When it came time to begin the renovation, Barb and Al took the time to help us understand the process, meet the various tradespeople and communicated with us throughout the process. We had weekly calls to go over the schedule and we always knew that if there were any concerns, we could contact them . > > All of the different tradespeople that came to our house were courteous, professional and respectful of our space. Over the process of the renovation, this team began to feel like family. While we were ecstatic to see the project finish, we were sad to see them go. > > We now have a beautiful kitchen that is a dream come true. We have an ensuite bathroom and there is no question that TenTen will be back to help us see this future project to completion. **★★★★★ — HU-771730018, April 2020** > Got a kitchen renovation done including the removal of a load bearing wall and 3 layers of sub-flooring. We’re very happy with all aspects of the process, from designing the space to their cleanliness to finished product! All staff, including subcontractors, were professional and a pleasure to work with. > > We would recommend Tenten Kitches in a heartbeat!! **★★★★★ — HU-691515708, Jan. 2020** > We did a full kitchen reno. Yes the house was turned upside down. But it was kept clean and the final product didn't disappoint. I love my new bright open kitchen. The chimney came down, a wall came down and and with excellent consultation and some great eyes for style it has made our family happy. **★★★★★ — HU-515572566, Jan. 2020** > We are very pleased with our TenTen Kitchen. Our 110 year old has had an outdated kitchen with a poor layout,ancient plumbing and electrical. Our TenTen Kitchen designer had a great eye for color and space layout she was very helpful in directing us to make good cabinet, counter top and accessory choices. I found there was excellent communication every week as to what was going to happen and who would be coming to the house. The Reno area was always spotless at the end of everyday which was super important to us. The entire crew is super friendly and our dogs fell in love with them as did we. **★★★★★ — Carl and Kathy Heppner, Oct. 2019** > Barb and Al were attentive to us as customers right from the beginning. They new exactly what we needed even before they started the project. Their crew were amazing, they tidied up every day (even demolition day!), had great communication with us, and even loved on our dog Molly. We appreciated the precise workmanship of each detail, their continual check ins to make sure we were happy with the progress, and strove to make sure we were more than satisfied with our finished project. Three months after the project completion, we are still in awe of our kitchen, bathroom and back entrance. There is nothing we would have changed, just that we wished we would have done this sooner with Barb and Al! **★★★★★ — Janice Epp, Sept. 2019** > Al and Barb from TenTen Kitchens are fabulous to work with. Barb works with you on the design of your new kitchen. She is very attentive to your concerns with your existing space and then will come up with suggestions and proposed solutions for the newly remodeled space. > Once contracting has occurred then Al and their teams commence the work. All of their staff are very respectful and take great pride in providing quality workmanship. Both Al and Barb stay in touch with you throughout the journey to inform you of any delays or challenges that may arise during the renovation, or to address any concerns that you the homeowner may have about the process. > We are thrilled with our renovation. I have no problem recommending TenTen Kitchens to anyone wishing a kitchen/main floor renovation. As crazy as this sounds, I wish I had more work to be done in my home as I enjoyed working with them so much. It was a great pleasure to have them work on our home. ## Selected projects - [Whyte Ridge Kitchen 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whyte-ridge-kitchen-2-pj-vj~6523531) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Island Lakes Kitchen and Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/island-lakes-kitchen-and-bathrooms-pj-vj~6028605) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 15 - Description: This great family desperately needed another shower! Their teenager was having to use their shower or the one in the basement. The builders decided to take the shower out of the hallway bath and make the master bathroom larger. But, these people needed it back. And since we were there, why not renovate the kitchen too! The layout of the kitchen, especially all the angles, was driving them nuts! We cut the stubwall down in length and width by the patio door which enabled us to put in a larger isl… - [Crescentwood Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crescentwood-kitchen-pj-vj~5855223) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 19 - Description: This fabulously wonderful, super busy and only slightly crazy family of 6 (7 if you include Molly the dog!) needed more space and functionality. They also deserved a more beautiful kitchen! We pushed the wall back in the kitchen, opened up the space to the back entrance, took out a walk in pantry, moved the bathroom from the back of the house to the side, removed the old rads and put in heated tile floors. Resulting in more openness, more space, more practical cabinets and gorgeousness! White ca… - [Wolseley Transitional Kitchen 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wolseley-transitional-kitchen-2-pj-vj~5834775) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 12 - Description: We loved helping this fabulous family get the kitchen that they wanted! We were welcomed on the first day by a wonderful welcome sign and it set the tone for an amazing renovation! The old kitchen was not functional. Too many doors and too closed off from the rest of the house. Given the age of the house, we wanted to keep the integrity of the vintage-ness (it's a word now! LOL), but it needed to be modernized. We moved the stairs going to the basement out of the kitchen and into the hallway beh… - [Riverview Kitchen 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverview-kitchen-2-pj-vj~6303603) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: This couple needed a change! Their dated kitchen didn't reflect who they are at all. Plus, didn't meet their functional needs for their love of cooking! Given the age of their house, they wanted to keep the integrity of the traditional house but still make it more contemporary. Not to darn mention, that octagonal fluorescent light fixture needed to go! Gorgeous, white shaker style cabinets. The white quartz countertop and square white backsplash tiles look amazing with the black handles, sink an… - [River Heights Kitchen 4](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-heights-kitchen-4-pj-vj~6125133) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 16 - Description: This was one of our funnest renovations! This couple and their dogs were wonderful to work with and we love the way their space turned out! It's totally them! Their old, outdated kitchen is now a bright, open functional space. By closing off a small corridor to the back area of the house (they have to walk around now!), it gave them a ton of counter space and storage. We also took down a wall between the kitchen and diningroom. The cabinets now go the ceiling, instead of the outdated bulkhead. N… - [St. James Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-james-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~5730445) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: There aren't many before pictures of this kitchen. Unfortunately for these fabulous folks, their ceiling caved in. The subject line of the first message was "the ceiling is falling" and it literally did. We had finished the basement for these great customers and now friends a few years ago. And we wanted to build them a fabulous kitchen. But on their time, not the ceiling's time! Regardless of why, they now have a very functional, gorgeous space. And, a dishwasher! It is a small kitchen so we ma… - [River Heights Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-heights-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~5667380) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 16 - Description: This great couple loved their 100 year old house but didn't love the kitchen. With a narrow footprint with oddly placed openings, there was no room for cabinetry or storage. Let alone walking between the kitchen and the dining room between the stove and fridge! We moved the back door to the middle of the back wall, took out two windows and put in one larger one. Moved the sink under the window. Removed almost all of the wall between the kitchen and diningroom. The radiator pipes couldn't be move… - [River Heights Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-heights-basement-pj-vj~6166399) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 13 - Description: This family has a son who was getting older and a new dog, who both needed a bit more space. They had an unfinished, underutilized basement that needed some love. Our customer is a distinguished artist who has been featured at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the 303 Gallery in New York as well as world-wide! He had a studio in the basement but wasn't as organized and finished as he wanted. We converted a second floor TV room into his studio and moved all of his equipment upstairs. Then, back to the ba… - [Headingley Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/headingley-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~5590753) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: Sometimes bad things happen for a reason. The leaky roof turned into a gorgeous renovation for this fun couple! A dark kitchen was transformed into a beautiful light, open and exceedingly functional space! Before, a "walk-in" pantry that you couldn't barely walk into. After, 3 pantries with pull-outs and so much more functionality! We removed two small windows in the backsplash, moved the cooktop from the island to the outer wall, put new flooring throughout the entire main floor, replaced all o… - [South River Heights Contemporary Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-river-heights-contemporary-kitchen-pj-vj~5550019) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: This young couple needed an updated contemporary look. The old kitchen was nice but not their style. Out with the two-toned cabinets and tile floor. In with the slab front white cabinets and cork flooring. The dark countertop was replaced with a gorgeous white quartz and the tile backsplash with a fabulous herringbone pattern! Appliances stayed the same but the Subzero Fridge received new stainless steel panels to update the look. A new stainless steel rangehood was also installed. The waterfall… - [West End Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-end-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~2750847) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 7 - Description: This little kitchen was small, dark and not functional. It also didn't reflect the owner's bubbly personality! A wall came down, custom colour cabinets and quartz went in. More space, more light, more bling! An entertaining space for a wonderful lady! - [St. James Transitional Kitchen & Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-james-transitional-kitchen-and-bathrooms-pj-vj~4707430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: It was definitely time for an update. We loved working with this couple and their cutie-pie dogs! Taking their kitchen from a dark, dated kitchen to an open, gorgeous, functional space! And since we were there, why not renovate their two existing bathrooms and add a third bathroom and move the walk-in closet? They now have an ensuite and don't have to share with their guests! Other changes like the back entrance closet, lighting in the hallway, removal of the wood on the stairway helped to updat… - [Crescentwood Traditional Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crescentwood-traditional-condo-pj-vj~2873107) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 14 - Description: This project is amazing and TENTEN Kitchens was thrilled to be a part of it. The space itself is a rare find. A two level, penthouse condo in Crescentwood with 20 foot ceilings in the living area. Roughly completed, never finished. A gem. The owner brought her vision for the project to Belinda Albo Designs and Mac and Mac Contracting. Belinda, artfully crafted the homeowner's ideas into a deliverable project design. Mac and Mac carried the design down to each project detail. Their work is meticu… - [South St. Vital Transitional Kitchen 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-st-vital-transitional-kitchen-2-pj-vj~5029230) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: This very busy family needed help! With 3 young children, 2 parents and 2 grandparents sharing a kitchen, it was chaos. The kitchen was completely isolated from the rest of the house so if the kids were playing in another room, the parents couldn't keep an eye on them! Plus, an update was needed in terms of functionality and aesthetics! With the wall down between the kitchen and dining/living room, the house works so much better for this wonderful family! Quartz countertops, gorgeous dark wood m… - [Norwood Flats Kitchen 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norwood-flats-kitchen-3-pj-vj~4210151) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 15 - Description: This wonderful couple have been wanting a new kitchen for 30 years!! Talk about delayed gratification! They had renovated their bathroom upstairs and had to remove their kitchen ceiling to move the plumbing. After a year or so of no ceiling, they had enough and called TENTEN! And we're glad they did! We loved designing their dream kitchen that they had waited so long for. A new bright, beautiful space! Lots of functional, gorgeous cabinetry. Room for their coats next to the back entrance with no… - [Lipton Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lipton-kitchen-pj-vj~6028906) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: This great couple needed some help with their kitchen. They had to do some bathroom work previously and had no ceiling in their kitchen! Their cabinets were dated and the whole space needed updating. They have 4 large dogs and also needed a space to accommodate them. Out with the dated cabinets, the tile floor that was ready to go, the sink that was in an awkward location, and the range/fridge awkward locations too! We installed gorgeous dark Oak cabinets and a heated vinyl plank floor. Both of… - [Transcona Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transcona-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~5319962) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: This kitchen was dark and not working for this grown up family. With three adults using the kitchen, it was time for an update! Gorgeous medium-toned maple cabinets, quartz countertops, fabulous glass backsplash, new flooring, new lights (that actually turn on!) and a lot of fabulous, functional cabinet space! So happy to create this beautiful space for this wonderful family! - [Whyte Ridge Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whyte-ridge-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~3010374) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 16 - Description: AFTER - Agreeable grey cabinets with gorgeous handles, grey quartz and the new walk-in pantry makes this kitchen beautiful and functional!

A: It's a semi-gloss. Easier to clean in a high traffic kitchen area! **Q: Beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* Are the tiles glass? If so, what type of Electrical Face Plate is best to use on a glass tile backsplash? A: Hi, Thanks for loving this kitchen. Yes, the tiles are glass. In this case, we used regular, white face plates. We used black ones on the island so they blended with their dark cherry coloured cabinets. We prefer to have our face plates blend in with their surroundings rather than pop. You can buy different face plates. I know that if you use subway tile, there are face plates that match the white subway tile. Hope this helps? Thanks, Barb **Q: Cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are these cabinets and brand? A: Hello, The cabinets are maple ones from Urban Effects by Norcraft. And the colour is Mountain Haze. Thanks for the question! Barb (TENTEN Kitchens) **Q: Love the cabinets! What is the color?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi! They are maple and the color is smoke. **Q: love the cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell me what type of wood and stain was used? Thank you A: Hi Rachel. The cabinets are cherry and it was a custom colour called Russet. Thanks, Barb **Q: Colour** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the kitchen cabinet colour? A: Hi. The colour of these maple cabinets is French Roast. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
