### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-602300734, Nov. 2024**

> If you want the job done right at a reasonable cost Joe is your man. I had an Ikea kitchen consultant help me with the original design of my kitchen. I had concerns with her final design and I also did not want to keep the bulkhead which was still in her design. Joe was able to improve the layout and design. I still can’t believe he was able to fit everything in the kitchen that I had wanted. He was able to remove the bulkhead and extend the cabinets. I just love the longer looking cabinets and who couldn’t use more cabinet space!

**★★★★★ — Joan Barnard, Dec. 2023**

> Still Waters Design is the perfect company to create your dream kitchen!  The ease in dealing with Joe was totally impressive.  At the first visit Joe asked what my wishes were for my new kitchen and from there he took over. He quickly created a plan , suggested the best cupboard style for my home, ordered all the components, had components delivered to my house, and  provided a fabulous contractor to take are of all electrical and plumbing issues. I did not have to think or worry about anything. His installation was fast,  efficient and beautiful!
>
> Joe's organizational skills, communication, and customer service were stellar! I highly  recommend this company!

**★★★★★ — Erin Adams, Oct. 2023**

> Working with Joe and his team on our townhouse kitchen renovation was a great experience!
> From the earliest stages of the job, Joe was very responsive and provided us with a ton of ideas and insight.  He introduced us to a great contracting team to help us remove the existing kitchen and add in everything from new lighting, drywall, tiles, countertop and backsplash.
> The cabinet installation itself was so fast and seamless, we couldn't believe how quickly it all came together.
> Everyone was very pet friendly (this was important to us with two cats and one dog around all the time).  We were also able to work from home during the renovation and that made life easier for us as well.
> The job was done on time and fell well within our budget.  Thank you so much for a great experience!

**★★★★★ — cdes\_wine1, Oct. 2023**

> We are very pleased with Still Waters Design and the kitchen they renovated for us.  Everything was taken care of, from planning the layout, ordering all cabinets to the installation.  Workflow is now so much easier, we have more storage and the cabinets look beautiful.  Workmanship is excellent including custom fabrication of a pantry cupboard.  Every trade; carpenter, electrician, plumber, painter, drywall- and tile installer seem hand selected and did their work with exceptional skill.

**★★★★★ — Linda Smithson, Oct. 2023**

> We were very happy with our experience with Still Waters Design. They designed our Ikea kitchen and couldn't be happier. Suggested things that we hadn't thought of. It was a gut job and all other contractors were arranged by Still Waters. It was a very seamless renovation. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

**★★★★★ — mazzajoanna, Oct. 2023**

> From my first phone call with Joe to request a quote on my kitchen renovation, I knew I would be in good hands. Within the first visit he envisioned a much more functional kitchen design that gave my small kitchen more storage and countertop space. He walked me through every step of the process with patience and great recommendations. His contractor and their  team were also amazing to work with and everything was done on time, on budget and a fantastic finished product. I am so happy with my renovations. Call Still Waters Design.  You will love them!!

**★★★★★ — Lyn Long, Oct. 2023**

> Joe designed and installed my Ikea kitchen  and I love it.  His suggestions and design choices were just what i needed.  I couldn't be more pleased and have had many compliments.  He is easy to work with, and the people that he brought into my house were thorough and tidy.  There was never anything left for me to clean up!  I recommend Still Water Design absolutely!

**★★★★★ — Mary H., Oct. 2023**

> We are highly impressed with Joe's work. Joe made suggestions for our kitchen design  that were practical and visually appealing. All work was done as scheduled and completed on time. Joe pays attention to the fine details and is very meticulous. We love our new kitchen and highly recommend Still Water Design.

**★★★★★ — Harold J Barham, Oct. 2023**

> We wanted a complete kitchen re model. Still Waters Design (Joe Riley) handled every aspect of the renovation from designing the layout to contacts for all aspects of the job. This include, electrics, plumbing, flooring  and finishing touches etc. All we had to do was decide what model and colours we wanted.
>
> Any requests we had were dealt with promptly and to our complete satisfaction. At the end of the day the area under construction was left clean and tidy. The attention to detail of all involved was top notch.
> We are more than happy with our new kitchen.
> I have no hesitation in recommending Still Water Design to anyone wanting a first class job done by dedicated professionals at a very competitive cost.

**★★★★★ — Jessica C, Oct. 2023**

> Joe was fast, knowledgeable and got the job done right. We had considered installing our ikea kitchen ourselves - so happy that we hired Joe instead!

**★★★★★ — HU-361490948, Aug. 2021**

> Joe was extremely professional and transparent. He assisted with designing selection and layout of our new kitchen, took care of the order list and constructed the kitchen on the requested timeline. He was extremely flexible and worked with us to achieve a fabulous result. Highly recommend Still Waters and would use Joe again without any hesitation

## Community Q&A

**Q: Is the fridge top cabinet custom?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Looks great. How does it open and what does the inside of it look like?

A: The cabinet above the fridge is a 36/24/15” cut down to a 36/24/10. I used a 10” drawer front with a small horizontal hinge. Door flips up.   jr

**Q: Magnetic board** *(in Photo Questions)*

Was this a custom made magnetic board? is it also a chalkboard? If purchased, would you share where it was purchased from?
Thank you

A: Hello Jessy,
The magnet board was made by the home owner custom.  Hope this helps.  jr

**Q: Hood size** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is this a 30" hood in a 36" space between cabs?

A: The hood width is a 30" and the space is 33".  The base cabinets below are 24" drawers, and the wall cabinets above are 21" wide.  Hope this helps.  jr

A: The sink is the 36" Domsjo.  jr

**Q: What is the name of this counter?  I assume it is a tripe of Quartz ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am desperately trying to find a white background with a marble look. I am having a difficult time choosing. I would appreciate your advise. Sincerely. Helene
