In the old house, he had done such a superb job, that I asked him to review the new house's antiquated kitchen. He came up with two excellent designs. Because of our past experience with him, his creativity, attention to detail, satisfaction with and execution of the first kitchen, he was the best bet. > For the newest kitchen, he did extensive renovations, including removing a wall between the kitchen and the dining room. The new kitchen is absolutely wonderful and beautiful. When guests come over, they are always impressed. > I also had him replace a picture window and create a washer/dryer closet. In addition, he converted a screened in porch to an all-season room. What an improvement! > The workmanship was essentially flawless. Anytime there was a concern, Blue dealt with it immediately. The workers were great and always respectful. They cleaned up at the end of the day. Blue is very personable himself. > I highly recommend Kitchens by Request. **★★★★★ — Laurie Fowler, June 2017** > Blue Arnold and his crew transformed my terrible dark, cramped kitchen into a beautiful, bright work space.. Our kitchen was tiny, and the appliance configuration was ill conceived. It was unpleasant to cook in there and two people could not be in the space at the same time without irritation. Kitchens by Request provided high quality design, craftsmanship and materials with superior customer service. The job was done within the estimated time and budget. The crew was prompt and courteous. They always left the work area clean and tidy. I love my kitchen!! **★ — paszugaj17, June 2017** > One star because they showed up. A total nightmare. Blue Arnold changed styles and colors of items I picked and paid for. He then refused to replace with my choices. Sometimes didn't show up for 2 1/2 weeks and a total close to three months time. $60,000 later and it's the worse remodeled job ever. **★★★★★ — galluplori, Jan. 2017** > The team that made updates to our kitchen were extremely time efficient, well organized, friendly and well-mannered. They made sure to clean up every afternoon prior to leaving so we could continue to utilize the kitchen throughout the process **★★★★★ — Karen Gardner, Jan. 2017** > Blue and his team were prompt, personable and professional. I was told by other contractors that they could not install a bathroom on my concrete slab. Kitchens by Request not only installed my bathroom they were meticulous in their work, including incorporating the ADA features I requested. My friends and family can't believe how gorgeous my bathroom looks. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Elke Neuburger, Jan. 2017** > Love our newly renovated bathroom. Excellent workers who were professional and left the work area clean each day.Working with Blue Arnold to design my room was a great experience as he understands your style and wants **★ — Laurie Roszell, Jan. 2017** > After an initial phone call, Blue was at my house within days, and said I would hear back within a week. I gave it 2 weeks as Thanksgiving was approaching. Two months later, nothing (except a phone call saying he was working on an estimate). If a company is unable to deliver in a timely manner, unable to manage their time in order to deliver in a timely manner, unfamiliar with their commitments so that they can provide a reasonable estimate of the time required to provide a cost estimate, then I can have no confidence in their ability to actually begin and complete a project within a projected time frame. i found another contractor. **★★★★★ — dldongarra, Sept. 2016** > My small galley kitchen was transformed into a bright and beautiful room thanks to Kitchens By Request. The company and staff were easy to work with, were very thoughtful and truly listened and understood my style. I could not have been happier with the end result. I love everything about my kitchen. **★★★★★ — Cheryl Humphreys, June 2016** > I was very excited to remodel the kitchen in my home. After meeting with 3 companies it was obvious that Blue Arnold the owner of Kitchens By Request understood my vision. He made insightful suggestions and assisted with choices that would make this the kitchen of my dreams. We replaced cabinetry, granite, backsplash, lighting, flooring and appliances. Changes were made to the layout of the kitchen to make it much more functional and appealing. The team was professional and accommodating to work with. The were open to my questions, changes and additions to my project. We added hardwood flooring throughout as well as a new fireplace. I am more than pleased with the quality and workmanship. I look forward to working with Blue and company on future projects!! **★★★★★ — HU-296129, May 2016** > Going through our first major home renovation initially seemed like a daunting task. After speaking with three well respected companies, we selected Kitchens by Request based upon a general sense that we would be in good hands as well as the delivery of a more detailed, timely and thoughtful proposal that incorporate our thoughts with some more than helpful recommendations for a total kitchen renovation. Blue Arnold with Kitchens By Request set our minds at ease from the first moment we met with him. He has a fantastic sense of design and great taste. He was able to maximize the available space for the family to enjoy a beautiful and functional new kitchen. All of the professionals at Kitchens By Request take tremendous pride in their work which is evident by the finished product. They delivered on schedule on a total gut job and renovation. Everyone that walks into the new kitchen comments on how wonderful it looks and on the fantastic attention to detail. We are so pleased with Kitchens By Request that we are already planning on hiring them again to design and renovate our 3rd floor with a more open floor plan, new bathroom and walk-in closet. We highly recommend Kitchens By Request for your next home project. > > Scott F. **★★★★★ — mahcwv, Jan. 2016** > After 20 years,my kitchen needed an update. Kitchens by Request did such a superlative job in 1996, that it was an easy decision to have them do the update.And I'm so glad I did! Blue,Tony and Brian were on time, friendly, neat, considerate-just the kind of people you want in your home. The updated kitchen is beautiful thanks to Blue's advice on materials and colors. I heartily recommend them **★★★★★ — pammyanne100, Jan. 2016** > We selected Kitchens By Request for our Kitchen remodel project and were extremely satisfied with the total experience. From the moment we entered the showroom and met Blue Arnold we knew we found the right company for our project and we had been looking for several years. We were looking for a company that understood our needs and could provide guidance on ideas, design selection and help to bring it all together. Blue helped us tremendously with design expertise and guidance throughout the entire process. It was a wonderful experience to work with someone who listened to their customer, made recommendations and ensured the kitchen remodel exceeded our expectations. I always felt comfortable with the contractors and their respect of our home during the eight week remodeling project. This was our first Christmas season in our new kitchen and we had rave reviews and comments from our family and friends. A sincere THANKS to Blue Arnold and the entire team at Kitchens By Request. We would highly recommend to all. ## Selected projects - [Contemporary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bath-pj-vj~260092) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Hilltop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-pj-vj~425233) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Grand Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-home-pj-vj~363110) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Contemporary Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-pj-vj~362236) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Luxurious Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxurious-bath-pj-vj~362218) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-pj-vj~346738) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Hall powder room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hall-powder-room-pj-vj~346725) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-pj-vj~335868) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Carriage Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carriage-road-pj-vj~319265) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Historic Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-renovation-pj-vj~325483) - Location: Havre de Grace, MD - Photos: 5 - [Lee](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lee-pj-vj~322894) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Shore Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shore-cottage-pj-vj~322408) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/kitchens-by-request-pfvwus-pf~126338512) ## Community Q&A **Q: Could I have details on the flooring?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: the flooring is multi size Volcanic travertine, a natural stone. **Q: What type of lighting is under the vanity?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: We use 3K LED tape lighting for great accent lighting.
