### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Cris Wilson, April 2018**

> We hired Anna for our kitchen remodel and when I first met her I knew she was on the same page. She listened to what I wanted and let me have a look of input! I love my kitchen and she was amazing!

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Thank you so much Chris. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you. I'm so happy you love the kitchen... I think it it turned out beautifully!

**★★★★★ — Roxanne Rodill, July 2017**

> So happy with my kitchen!  Reconfigured counter top lay out and backs plashes.  Anna really listened to what I wanted.  Other contractors that gave me quotes on this project acted like it was to hard to accomplish.  Anna was like no problem this can be done, and I got exactly what I wanted!  I would not go anywhere else for a kitchen or bath remodel.

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Awwww thanks Roxanne! It's a pleasure to work with someone with such a great sense of style!

**★★★★ — HU-494475, May 2016**

> I was very pleased with the design and quality of the cabinets I purchased. In addition, Anna did a fantastic job picking out the perfect butcher block countertop for my island.

**★★★★★ — LeAnn Mazzeo, May 2016**

> We had a very good experience with Kitchens Etc.  We hired Anna for a kitchen remodel.  She really listened to what we wanted and what our budget was but at the same time was able to give clear recommendations.  She did a very good job of managing her contractors and communicating with everyone.  If a problem arose she did not hesitate to fix it.  We would definitely recommend Kitchens Etc!

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Hey LeAnn, Thank you so much!!! I hope all is well!

**★★★★★ — lynnmcm, May 2016**

> We were very pleased with the design, workmanship, and pricing.  This project was a complete kitchen replacement, plus flooring for kitchen and family room (not shown in photo), and moving a bathroom door.

**★★★★★ — Designs by Michael llc., Feb. 2016**

> Mel is an awesome designer, comprehensive in her scope of knowledge, yet able to incorporate the abstract elements that push a design over the top. I have the privilege of installing several of her projects, and her professionalism and designs were awesome!

**★★★★★ — jrodney1951, Dec. 2015**

> Carmela and her team helped create our dream kitchen. I would highly recommend them for any remodeling project. We're looking forward to working with them on our bathroom renovation.

**★★★★★ — blfalk, July 2015**

> Anna (Carmella) was the first designer we interviewed for the renovation of our kitchen in the Fan. We knew right away that we wanted her to do the design work and oversee the project. She listened to what we wanted and made recommendations that were consistent with our vision and our budget. There were a number of challenges, including an uneven floor, and she came up with creative solutions that are functional and look beautiful. Her team was professional, responsive and did excellent work. Even after the job was finished, she provided advice on paint colors. We have a bathroom that will need some work and there is no question that we will turn to Anna for help on that. We recommend her with great enthusiasm.

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Hey Barry, I only just saw this now... thank you so much! I had a lot of fun on your project and you guys were awesome to work with! Thanks again.

**★★★★★ — abbieaster, March 2015**

> Anna has beenabsoltuely great to work with. Her designs have been innovative and she has been very responsive to our suggestions. Moreover, when she realized how super-price conscious we are, she has been very helpful in getting the best deal.
> I would highly recommend this company!

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Abbi....Thank you so, so much! You and John are my dream clients! I'm really enjoying working on your project and I can't wait to see the final result. And boy am I grateful you got the before pics ;)

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2014**

> We hired this company to renovate our kitchen and 2 bathrooms. We were very happy that she was willing to work with us long distance since we were on the other side of the country. Most communication was done through email and text. We were able to review colors and swatches by getting samples in the mail. We were able to review all contracts electronically . We are very happy with the completed job. Anna has a great eye with knowing what colors ,styles and materials will work together. She made this project very easy for us.  I would recommend her to friends and family for sure.

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Jen, thanks so much for the kind words! You were an absolute joy to work with! Thanks so much for everything and I'm glad you're finally able to relax and enjoy your home!!!

**★★★★★ — anita759, April 2014**

> I had kitchens ETC renovate my kitchen and could not be more satisfied with the result. I had gone to several other companies previously but it was Carmela Wengraitis who really listened and did everything she could to include what I wanted in the design. I was told by others that the space was too small to fit an island but she made it work in an unexpected way and we absolutely love it! I can't thank her enough for her patience, skill and perfect execution. I would definitely recommend her and her company to anyone.

**★★★★★ — jphelps123, April 2014**

**Comment from kitchensETC:**

> Thank you so much! It's a pleasure working with such a responsive, professional, competent company!
