Steve and company were wonderful to work with and made this job easier than expected. Steve took a very challenging kitchen space and made it a functional and welcoming kitchen that has hosted many get togethers already. The office kept the job on track and the crew was wonderful, neat and timely, except when 3 snow storms mucked up the schedule, but it all worked out. > Looking forward to having them back next year for bathroom updates. **★★★★★ — HU-751885169, Aug. 2018** > Heart of the Home Kitchens did an amazing job on our kitchen.

I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Jeian Rastegar, July 2018** > Heart of the Home Kitchens did a fantastic job from start to finish on our kitchen. We called them to send someone out for an estimate and someone was there immediately. We had multiple contractors that came out that were unreliable and took forever to get us our estimate, being that we wanted the work done as soon as possible. Everyone that came to work on our kitchen was incredibly professional and always was able to answer a question we had. The quality of work is amazing, the price was extremely reasonable and we are very very happy with our newly renovated kitchen. Thank you Steve, Rachel and especially Derek! We highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — Joseph A. Krawiec, AIA, LLC, Dec. 2017** > I have worked as the Architect several project that Steve (and his team) have completed over the last 4 years.
