What really makes them great is that every project is personal. They literally invest the same, if not more, love and attention towards their clients projects as they would if they were doing the install into their own home. CKB is truly a family business which is very hard to come by. The quality and attention to detail from design to final product is second to none. From showroom to install, the whole family are true craftsman's of their trade. **★★★★★ — JENNIFER LAWRENCE, Oct. 2017** > I found Steve & Melissa with CKB to be very knowledgeable, accommodating and flexible, dependable and reasonably priced. They represented excellent products. I would recommend them and would use them again. **★★★★★ — Tony & Linda Weshefsky, Oct. 2017** > Work ethic is top notch!! Had our kitchen totally gutted and added two bathrooms upstairs. From the start it was obvious their commitment to the job. Design was above what we had envisioned and we are thrilled with the end product! They were always quick to respond to any question or concern we had. They went above and beyond what we expected which just made it so much more enjoyable to work with them. Would recommend CKB and have recommended them. We are about to hire them again for the downstairs bathroom! **★★★★★ — langlois\_linda, Oct. 2017** > Have had several projects done by CK&B. Friendly, flexible and easy to work with. Good eye for color selection **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2017** > Creative Kitchen and Bath did a complete remodeling of our kitchen down to the bare walls and floor and also retiled two bathrooms including a new shower and granite counter tops. > > It was a beautiful job. Steve planned the project out to the day and held to that schedule. Everything came together flawlessly. The only glitch which was of my own making as I ordered all of the new appliances myself was that Steve checked the entry clearances and found that the refrigerator I selected wouldn't fit. So I quickly changed the order to another that just cleared. His experience saved a costly mistake. > > My wife worked with Melissa to lay out the new kitchen, select cabinetry, etc. I worked with Steve who installed the cabinets and did the tile work. I did the plumbing and electrical work myself. It all worked perfectly **★★★★ — Stephen Mitchell, Oct. 2017** > CKB were very helpful and provided solutions to our requirements that fitted our needs. This include some different problems we needed to solve. **★★★★★ — Mike Guzzo, Oct. 2017** > Steve and Melissa worked closely with us in the remodeling of our kitchen. He was always on time and completed before scheduled. We had an additional repair to our foyer tile which involve removing most of the tiles, replacing the under boards and relaying the tiles. No small job. ## Selected projects - [Coastal Chic Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-chic-bathroom-pj-vj~7661193) - Location: Merritt, NC - Photos: 5 - [Cow Pen Kitchen and Laundry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cow-pen-kitchen-and-laundry-pj-vj~7661190) -
