My husband and I stopped in to the showroom on a whim after shopping at three large chain establishments to price remodeling and renovating our very outdated kitchen. We originally thought this local establishment would be out of our price range. We were happily surprised to find that they were extremely price competitive! Donna's designs were outstanding, and far superior to the larger stores. During the remodeling of our kitchen, both Donna and Will were extremely patient, professional, and personable. We never felt pressured or rushed. They worked with us until every aspect of our kitchen was perfect! We are thrilled with our new kitchen, as well as the products and service we received from South Shore Kitchen Design! ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-950554900, April 2025** > Remodeling can be a daunting experience. If you are planning a bathroom or kitchen remodel, having a knowledgeable designer to guide you through the process and make sure you’ll be over the moon with the end result is a must. My mom’s bathroom (complete gut and remodel) was a first for me, and without Will we wouldn’t have known where to begin. Will made fantastic recommendations for the design and products and was always available to answer questions and address concerns. The entire process went smoothly and was finished on time. I think the photos speak for themselves. **Comment from South Shore Kitchen Design:** > Thank you, Teresa! It was a pleasure working on this project with you and your mother. **★★★★★ — Michael Seymour, Nov. 2023** > Dear Will, > > I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding work that South Shore Kitchen Designs, Inc. has done in recently transforming our kitchen into a space we are absolutely thrilled with. > > From the very beginning, your approach to design stood out. Your creativity and innovative ideas were exactly what we were looking for, and we were pleasantly surprised by your non-pushy and patient demeanor. You took the time to understand our vision and offered solutions that aligned well with our needs and budget. Your reasonable pricing made the whole process even more enjoyable, as we felt confident that we were getting great value for our investment. > > It's not just your design expertise that impressed us - the execution of the project was equally exceptional. This is where the talents of your carpenter, Brian, truly shone through. Brian's craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. He worked diligently, ensuring that every element of the design was brought to life with precision and care. His dedication to the project and his commitment to delivering the best results were evident throughout the entire process. > > The outcome of our kitchen redesign has left us absolutely delighted. The design blends seamlessly with the functionality; a testament to the exceptional skills of the whole team. Your professionalism, expertise, and the overall experience have left a lasting impression on us and we will not hesitate to recommend South Shore Kitchen Designs, Inc. to anyone in need of your services. > > Once again, thank you for your outstanding work, and please extend our gratitude to Brian as well for his hard work in bringing the vision to life. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we are looking forward to enjoying our newly designed kitchen for many years to come. > > Sincerely, > Mike and Lorraine Seymour **★★★★★ — denise sheridan, April 2022** > A big shout out to Will Cortes! Will came to my house , “listened” to my needs, applied his talent, and came up with a kitchen design that is beyond beautiful. The project was overwhelming and involved A LOT of decisions and Will was with me every step of the way. He was reassuring when I needed it and I’m so pleased I trusted him. Will was honest, calming, knowledgeable, professional, and fair. I would highly recommend SSKD. **★★★★★ — Leslie Schnur, March 2022** > Will is a genius. We have a small kitchen that hadn't been updated in 30 years. Every designer we interviewed about the renovation said we had to enlarge it, taking space from other rooms which we didn't want to do. Then Will walked in and said we didnt have to move a wall. He could make the space work. And he did. He was a joy to work with, everything on time, everything perfect. He is creative and very attentive to every detail. The contractor he recommended was also terrific. The kitchen is gorgeous. He also helped with our bathroom renovation and it's beautiful too. I would recommend Will and South Shore KItchen Design 100% without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Joyce Duck, Feb. 2022** > I have a very small kitchen and South Shore kitchen maximized the space and storage with beautiful cabinets. They also customized a vanity for the bathroom which is fantastic. **★★★★★ — amylarry1099, Nov. 2016** > We had Will at South Shore Design help us remodel our kitchen. A big project but Will made is so easy!!! From start to finish, he was a professional!!! He is knowledgeable in all aspects, very patient, kind, and understanding. Will went above and beyond his call numerous times. Timing was ALWAYS on spot. With meetings, ordered items, and delivery!!! Very trustworthy and efficient!!! I will definitely use him for future projects. I feel 100% confident referring him!!! > Thank-You Will !!! **★★★★★ — heresjohnny, June 2014** > We had Will Cortez of South Shore Kitchen remodel our kitchen. Everything went very smoothly and on the time schedule we were given. From the very beginning we knew we were in good hands, Will is very patient, knowledgeable, professional and so helpful in guiding us through every step. We have nothing but praise! We love our new kitchen! thank you Will! **★★★★★ — A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp, April 2013** > South Shore Kitchen Design and A Direct Distributor Corp have been doing business together since 2007. Not only is South Shore a great customer of ours, Will is amazing. He is loyal and patient with any hiccups this industry may throw our way. So thank you Will for your business through out the years! **★★★★★ — kitchen20111, Jan. 2013** > In the fall of 2011 my kitchen was remodeled by South Shore Kitchen Design..Mr William Cortes explained the process, offered graphic images of the final result, and was very price competitive.. > > He stayed within budget and offered a quality product..I was very impressed with this gentleman who has certifications in Design. His relaxed and polite manner put this client at ease..This is especially important since the process is intrusive...I could always count on Wil. > > Initially price a "reface" with well known contractors only to find I could replace my cabinetry for a few dollars more...Have received many complements on my new kitchen...I am sure this investment will benefit me when the home comes to market.. Love my DeWils cabinets and granite counters......... > > D.P. Manorville, New york **★★★★★ — kbourke, Aug. 2012** > I am extremely satisfied with the kitchen and two bathrooms that I purchased from South Shore Kitchen Design. Will Cortes is very knowledgable, professional and patient. South Shore carries a variety of high quality product lines and accessories to fit most budgets. The individual attention cannot beat.
