**★★★★★ — nickiprins, May 2017**

> I had a very Unique project that needed to be very customized and creative.  Max was just the guy to think outside the box and come up with some beautiful custom cabinetry for my business. It's not only beautiful but extraordinarily built and functional! I would recommend max for any project needing some free thinking and creativity.

**★★★★★ — Ian Turnbull, May 2017**

> From some excellent suggestions (and patience) during the planning stage, I hired MC Design to complete my project.  The professionalism was greatly appreciated and the quality of the work far exceeded what I could have hoped for.  The job was completed ahead of schedule and was ready in time for our Christmas Party (despite us giving the go ahead later than originally planned).  I cannot say enough about how careful Max was in my house and there was no damage or mess left to clean up.  I have recommended MC Design to a number of people as I feel 100% confident they provide all their clients with this high integrity level of service.  Thank you!!  Ian & Charlize

**★★★★★ — Evary Tode Design, June 2016**

> Vadessa Kitchens completed all of the cabinetry in our home, including our kitchen, bar, master ensuite bath, laundry room and closets.
>
> It was a pleasure to work with Max and his staff at Vadessa Kitchens.  They were always extremely professional, courteous, punctual and on-budget.  Max was also exceedingly patient, informative and provided us with beautifully and artfully designed and constructed cabinetry that we will enjoy for many years to come.  We continue to receive many compliments on the beautiful and professional work completed by Vadessa Kitchens.
>
> We would not hesitate to highly recommend Vadessa Kitchens and would not hesitate to use its services again.

**★★★★★ — Janet Webb, Dec. 2015**

> I have worked with Vandessa kitchens several times in the last few years. Max has been instrumental in the construction of our shelving systems and cash and tasting areas. He has given valuable input into the design and content of our stores. He is a master when it comes to working with wood, and he always contributes beautiful wood pieces that he recycles from other situations. He breaths new life into these pieces and turns them into highly effective and stunning objects for our stores.
> Max loves his craft and it is reflected in his work ethic and the finished product. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

**★★★★★ — platform3, March 2015**

> Max and his team are highly professional and fun to work with. He has tons of experience and pays great attention to detail in every he does. Max also is passionate about the work and especially interested in unique and creative installations.

**★★★★★ — Peake Design Group, Feb. 2015**

> We have worked with Max on a number of projects that range from small bathroom vanities to complete interior home renovations. We are absolutely thrilled and are lucky to work with him and will continue to do so on many future projects.
>
> Max is professional, friendly and is readily available to meet when new projects come up or if anything needs to be altered. Vadessa's attention to detail is high and the cost in completing the work is definitely fair.
>
> We would highly recommend Vadessa to anyone looking for a highly skilled millworker!

**★★★★★ — Chesapeake Uncommon Design, Feb. 2015**

> I have worked with Max on many projects. He is friendly and extremely easy to work with. Currently I have had Max work on a price of furniture that is soon to be completed.
>
> I would definitely reccomend Max and his team for future projects!

**★★★★★ — rickkliine, July 2014**

> Vanessa did three jobs for us. They built beautiful cabinets for our bathroom and kitchen in our condo and a counter and cupboard set for our back room. The quality of the cabinets, workmanship and finish were first rate. They did an excellent job installing the units. The price was also very competitive. The only complaint was minor for us and that had to do with the timing. In the end they delivered and installed everything when they committed. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Rocket Renovations, July 2014**

> Vadessa Kitchens is great at what they do! From the initial concept through completion, Vadessa makes the whole process really easy! As a contractor in Calgary, I know that I can count on Vadessa to provide great customer service, meet scheduled timelines, provide a superior product, and warranty their workmanship. They are a great company to work with, and I highly recommend them.

  - Description: From Modest Digs to Elaborate Storage Downsizing doesn't always have to be painful. We tend to purge and dump a good chunk of our personal history when moving into a condo. But what if the sacrifice did not have to be as great? While we decrease the square footage, we could also increase the function, and add both practical and valuable storage. Lets dream a little; How about a huge concrete kitchen island that is functional on six sides and could house all of our necessary kitchen wares using d…

  - Description: Its always a treat to service a customer with a unique artistic vision. With this particular project we worked with Red Gum Wood, an Australian hardwood from the Eucalyptus genus. It is one of Australia’s best known trees and grows along their river systems. This beautiful wood boasts long grain patterns and has many levels of tone and colour distributed through out. You need to love a woody texture and not fear the intense grain and colour variations since that is the Red Gum’s crowning glory.…

  - Description: Stonebriar House As we embark upon the modern era of home decor, we are left stricken with its lovely simplicity. So its easy to overlook the traditional elegance of the finer details in crown molding above the kitchen cabinets or the inviting warmth a natural wood paneled library can bring to your life. Traditional elegance hasn't quite lost all its charms.
- [Reclaimed Wood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reclaimed-wood-pj-vj~960189)
  - Location: Calgary, AB
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: When you hear the word "reclaimed" used in a space improvement project, images of barns and old farm-house timber-piles are conjured in your mind. However, there are other sources for materials to be foraged. Other sources that have historical impact; upholding the true sense of the phrase "out with the old and in with the new". The "old" we are referring to is the Calgary Courthouse that was torn down in 2009. Vadessa Kitchens, closed down 7th Avenue between 1st and 2nd Street SE, rented a cran…
