Their products looked beautiful and I will say that ours are no exception, from a visual standpoint. Suzanne was initially very responsive. She took measurements and gave us a contract very quickly. The price was a little high but in todays economic situation with the pricing of lumber, we were willing to bite the bullet. > > Wes, the installer, was friendly and worked very hard during the install. Install was scheduled efficiently and that seemed to go great. > > The issues arose when dealing with Suzanne, during any sort of conflict. Someone from the CKD team has been out to my home 4 times more than is necessary because they haven’t measured properly or had to adjust our drawers, since they didn’t slide properly. > > Suzanne’s inability to accept any sort of blame and her extreme lack of professionalism has been nothing short of appalling. She has made racial comments towards my contractors and discussed my colleagues projects during our interactions, in a negative manner. Even when catching her in lies and calling out her unprofessional nature, she has passed the buck or become very aggressive, which in turn brought me to my boiling point. > > I will never use CKD or recommend them to another person. I would exercise extreme caution in utilizing this company. I’ve read a lot of Doug being wonderful and I wish we had him instead of the headache that we’ve had with Suzanne. > > Looks are on point with this company but optics aren’t everything. If things don’t work right or you have to deal with unprofessionalism. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if my experience is anything someone else is looking to avoid. **★★★★★ — HU-167235959, Nov. 2021** > Suzanne did an amazing job designing my kitchen. Her communicated with me through the process was great and I got exactly what I wanted. My kitchen looks fantastic! **★★★★★ — HU-314169346, Nov. 2021** > My wife and I are extremely happy with the whole experience. The level of professionalism shown from the beginning having our interest as a family as the only priority is the most gratifying experience we have ever had. When we tried to explain what we wanted to accomplish, Doug stepped in with his expertise. He helped us accomplish all that we wanted and saved us money with a great design. He kept us well informed throughout the process. Delays due to COVID and the "supply chain" issues were dealt promptly. We are looking forward to our next home upgrade. We are not just happy with the quality of work and professionalism, we are also grateful for the optimization of our resources that resulted in an optimum house value increase and a very happy family! We highly recommend Creative kitchen Designs and the team of professionals making it happen! Thank you, Doug! **★★★★★ — HU-272257459, Oct. 2021** > Creative Kitchen Designs were fantastic from start to finish. Not only did they design the perfect kitchen for my family, they then installed it professionally and hassle free. Thank you Doug and team for a wonderful job. I would highly recommend Creative Kitchen Designs for anyone that values service and quality. **★★★★★ — Karen Bateman, Aug. 2018** > I have just had creative kitchen replace a kitchen island. I have never been more pleased with the professionalism, the honesty, the respectfulness of a company, all their employees and General contractor. So courteous and just want to please. The island cabinet turn out spectacular! I can not say enough of this company, owner and employees. I highly recommend them for any of your needs. Sincerely Karen Bateman **★★★★★ — marianquinlan, July 2015** > Our decorator recommended Creative Kitchen Designs as she had worked with them in the past. My husband and I had already conferred with another local cabinet supplier but a huge factor in selecting to work with Doug and Creative Kitchen Designs is that their product is manufactured right here, locally, in Orlando. The fact that the cabinets are manufactured locally allowed for several custom sizes to fit our storage needs and all without any "fillers". It's great knowing that local employees were contributing to the remodel of our 35 year old kitchen. > As the process continued, Doug made us feel as though we were his " biggest client", providing constant one on one interaction and always answering our calls or emails timely. > The finished kitchen truly is more than we expected. Most days, I can't believe the gorgeous, new, custom kitchen is ours ! And the fee for this beautiful kitchen was very reasonable, especially with all custom work. > Outstanding product and service !!!! **Comment from Creative Kitchen Designs:** > Marian, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure making you dreams come true. You both are definitely our dream clients. **★★★★★ — marialvieira, July 2015** > When we got to the point when we decided we wanted to remodel our kitchen in a contemporary way, nobody else in our area even had the materials and means to provide us with the contemporary designs for our kitchen that we wanted. We were very happy when we found that CKD were close to where we lived, and could meet our needs. Doug Smith (our designer) outlined the entire project for us, and when we met, we were even more delighted to discover that he was not only going to help design the kitchen, but also had the means to produce and manufacture everything without having to involve a third party. He was always punctual, and we never had to reschedule. He was very detail oriented and wouldn't waver in the convictions he made abut the kitchen designs. He was more than happy to alter the designs when our thoughts about certain aspects of the kitchen changed, or when they had to be changed. In addition, the project was completed on time, with the contemporary style that we were looking for, with all the details and finishes that we desired. Overall the quality of the work was impeccable and we would gladly work with CKD again. **★★★★★ — sharoni41, July 2015** > Our family has used Creative Kitchens for over 18 years. > We remodeled our kitchen in 2006. Everything I dreamed of for my new kitchen Doug Smith made happen. Everyone who enters our home is amazed! We could not be happier with both the design and the functionality. The workmanship is outstanding. And the work was completed on time and on budget! > > In addition to my gorgeous kitchen Creative Kitchens did our Master Bathroom. After 11 years we are still very happy with the design and quality of the cabinets and large counter top. They have retained their beauty and still look new. > > My daughter hired Doug Smith for her kitchen remodel in 1997.. He made a difficult job so much more pleasant by his willingness to let her take her time on the design. He never rushed her and let her make changes until she was completely satisfied with the design. I enjoyed going with her to the Design Center and always felt welcomed to look at all the available options in the store and in their catalogs. When we decided to remodel years later it was an easy decision! > > To work with someone like Doug Smith was a delight. He understood what was important to our family. And whenever we called him he quickly returned the call. A really great Company. **Comment from Creative Kitchen Designs:** > Sharon, it has always been a pleasure working with you and your family throughout all these years. I adore having you all as clients but more importantly as friends. Thank you for all the years of loyalty. Homeowners like you make Creative Kitchen Designs enjoy what we do. > > www.ckdflorida.com **★★★★★ — carolpao, July 2015** > They designed and implemented unique custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets for our contemporary home giving it a very high end finish. They also designed and installed floating cabinets flanking our wall mounted fireplace. > > Installation was efficient and extremely professional. Installers were very knowledgeable and accommodating; they even cleaned up after themselves! **★★★★★ — Kelly Phillip, July 2015** > I hired Creative Kitchen Design for my cabinets and countertops in my kitchen and both bathrooms. My husband and I couldn't have been more happy. Per Doug Smiths direction, my beautiful white cabinets was the perfect backdrop for the exotic granite. Doug is the most professional, creative, innovative and real world designer I have ever worked with. The quality and craftsmanship of Ventura Cabients is second to none! **★★★★★ — danbest, July 2015** > Doug provided outstanding service during my kitchen remodel. He came out to my house several times and provided me with multiple options for the design and layout. He was very helpful during the process of picking out colors, counter tops and cabinet hardware as well. He is very punctual and professional. Doug made himself available to answer my questions, even on weekends or after hours. I highly recommend Creative kitchen Designs. **★★★★★ — wriegert, July 2015** > As the retired CEO of a 47 year old architectural firm I expect the same quality and timeliness of my professionals as my clients expect of me and my firm. Creative Kitchen Designs (Trim-Pak) has proven the ability to perform on all the categories I expect of our professionals. In giving Tri-Pak custom design cabinetry, for a major addition of my own home, they have not only met, but exceeded, the expectations of the manufacturing craftsmanship along with the installation and within the deadlines installed on them for the cabinetry contracted for. I have and will continued to return for additional cabinetry for myself and my clients, because I know that I will receive finished cabinetry that not only stands out but is also admired by others. ## Selected projects - ["Boca Textured" City Oak with Acrylic Red High Gloss](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boca-textured-city-oak-with-acrylic-red-high-gloss-pj-vj~1253415) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 6 - ["Corsica DLV" High Gloss White](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corsica-dlv-high-gloss-white-pj-vj~824836) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 20 - ["Boca Textured" Rustica with Acrylic Black Gloss](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boca-textured-rustica-with-acrylic-black-gloss-pj-vj~1253344) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 14 - ["Corsica" Maple Espresso with Glass Countertops](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corsica-maple-espresso-with-glass-countertops-pj-vj~1119925) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 12 - ["Corsica" Backpainted White Glass with Wenge Textured](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corsica-backpainted-white-glass-with-wenge-textured-pj-vj~1119879) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 25 - ["Mission" Conversion Varnish Paintgrade Again](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-conversion-varnish-paintgrade-again-pj-vj~1118131) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 34 - ["Mission" Conversion Varnish Paintgrade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-conversion-varnish-paintgrade-pj-vj~1118074) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 31 - ["Lexington" Cherry Edisto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-cherry-edisto-pj-vj~509509) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 3 - ["Portland" Cherry Edisto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-cherry-edisto-pj-vj~509504) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 2 - ["Portland" Maple Honey with Coffee Glaze](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-maple-honey-with-coffee-glaze-pj-vj~509496) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 6 - ["Portland" Maple Honey with Coffee Glaze with Black Rubbed Thru Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-maple-honey-with-coffee-glaze-with-black-rubbed-thru-island-pj-vj~509491) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 11 - ["Lexington" Maple Tuscan with Coffee Galze](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-maple-tuscan-with-coffee-galze-pj-vj~509485) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 8 - ["Collier" Maple Tuscan with Coffee Glaze](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/collier-maple-tuscan-with-coffee-glaze-pj-vj~509479) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 12 - [Concrete Countertops](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-countertops-pj-vj~509472) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 3 - ["Lexington" Maple Black with Red Glaze](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-maple-black-with-red-glaze-pj-vj~509470) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 3 - ["Mission Applied Moulding" Maple Tuscan with Coffee Glaze](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-applied-moulding-maple-tuscan-with-coffee-glaze-pj-vj~509215) - Location: Winter Garden, FL - Photos: 8 - ["Lexington" Maple Ginger](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-maple-ginger-pj-vj~509193) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 35 - ["Lexington" Maple Chestnut with Maple White Rubbed Thru Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-maple-chestnut-with-maple-white-rubbed-thru-island-pj-vj~508938) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 24 - ["Corsica" 1" Bevel Solid Maple Espresso](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corsica-1-bevel-solid-maple-espresso-pj-vj~508931) - Location: Altamonte Springs, FL - Photos: 15 - ["Corsica" High Gloss White](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corsica-high-gloss-white-pj-vj~508925) - Location: Wekiwa Springs, FL - Photos: 13 [See all 61 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/creative-kitchen-designs-pfvwus-pf~310476870) ## Ideabooks - [houzzdoug's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73555837/list/houzzdoug-s-ideas) — 1 idea - [houzzdoug's Favorites](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1345702/list/houzzdoug-s-favorites) — 9 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/houzzdoug) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is this paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sherwin Williams Functional Grey **Q: Beautiful light!!
