His designs were inventive and original. Brian, the installer’s work was maticulous and detailed. Our master bathroom project came out awesome. Will definately use them again for our next project! **★★★★★ — HU-452596911, Aug. 2024** > Our overall experience was excellent! We contracted with DKB for a full remodel of a kitchen that was original to our home. From our first meeting with Steve, to the design options, picking out our kitchen cabinets etc…to the installation… it could not have gone any better! Steve was always available to answer all of our questions and to ensure we had the kitchen of our dreams. Brian was our installer. Brian’s craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch! I highly recommend if you are considering a kitchen remodel to contact them **★★★★★ — cbrye, April 2018** > This is the second time we chose DKD for a remodeling project. They remodeled our kitchen cabinets several years ago. And just recently we had them replace our prefab countertops with granite. We just love it! Steve was easy to work with and very thorough. Most important to us was his continued communication. And Bryan the installer was professional and detail oriented. He did such a great job. **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Thanks for your review. I enjoyed working with you again. **★★★★★ — Diane Yandrisevitz, Sept. 2017** > I had a wonderful experience with DKD. They started the job when they said and finished on time. All the workman were friendly and did great work. I would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — Gary Wexler, April 2017** > We are pleased with the final result of our new kitchen. We had a few concerns but they were addressed to our satisfaction. Our expectations were very high and we selected Direct Kitchen Distributors based on a number of factors including workmanship, quality, and customer satisfaction. > > The initial meeting, planning, and design stages of this project gave us a positive outlook for this undertaking. They were attentive to our wants and needs and provided us with several options and layouts. The final plan was nothing less than outstanding and we looked forward to the end result. Their ideas and suggestions on color selections for the counter tops, backsplash, and flooring made everything come together. The under-cabinet lighting and super susan added that extra touch to make the kitchen special. > > The material and installation of the counter top was excellent; we were happy we went with DKD recommendation on the color and pattern. The plumbing work was completed to our complete satisfaction as well as all the electrical work. > > The workmanship on the installation of the cabinets, crown molding, flooring, and back splash was outstanding. The installer was meticulous in every step of the project. He was considerate of our home and took precautions to keep the dust and dirt confined to the work area. He cleaned up every day and left the work area as organized as possible. Things that most impressed us were the workmanship in the crown molding and the details in the backsplash. > > Our new kitchen is very impressive; the layout is excellent and beautiful. We are very happy with the end result and would, without hesitation, recommend DKD. **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Thanks for your kind words. I am glad we were able to meet and exceed your expectations. Looks great !! **★★★★★ — Andrew DeAngelo, Dec. 2016** > We are very satisfied with the services provided by DKD. Steve Strauss was very helpful in understanding the type of kitchen we wanted and worked within our budget. He developed a number of plans to review for the design of our kitchen. Which was very helpful and the final result was amazing . First class workmanship, attention to detail and clean up was provided after each day of work and the project was finished within the timeline set. We did speak to other contractors about our kitchen but they did not seem as competent or understanding as DKD . We highly recommend DKD and will be meeting to discuss renovating our bathroom in the near future. **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Andrew, I am happy to see how pleased you are with the new kitchen. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — JoAnne Blew, Dec. 2016** > We had Direct Kitchen Distributors remodel our thirty year old kitchen last year. Since we loved the results of our remodel last time, we hired DKD to update our two bathrooms. Steven's knowledge of design was quite helpful in selecting items to stay within our budget. We enjoyed our experience last time with their skilled carpenter Bryan. Bryan is always on time, polite, and worked around my schedule. We are very pleased with the quality of work from DKD. I would not hesitate to recommend DKD to anyone that wants a company with integrity and professionalism. Our bathrooms look great, thanks again. **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Thanks for your review. I enjoyed working with you again. **★★★★★ — David M. Landis, Sept. 2016** > We used DDK for a total remodel Kitchen 8 years ago. We needed to use DDK's excellent professional workmanship for our total remodel of our main bathroom in our Bi-level home. We love both completed projects. Both of these projects added great value to the final price when we decide to sell. **★★★★★ — MA r, Jan. 2016** > DKD did a complete renovation of our master bathroom in May of 2016. The lead installer, Bryan, had previously done our kitchen remodel to perfection. The bathroom included excellent tile work on the shower and floor, a complete reworking and move of the shower wall, installation of a tub with bubbles and jets, and a cherry double vanity. It was capped by precise synchronization of the electric and plumbing work, and meticulous painting by Bryan. The owner and designer, Steven Strauss, worked with us to design the spa of our dreams with all the safety features including a shower bench, handheld shower attachment, safety bars in the sink and tub, higher toilet and vanity, and skid proof floors. It is the bath of our dreams. **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > It was awesome to work with you again. So, what room are we doing next? :-) **★★★★★ — bhattbl, Oct. 2015** > DKD did an excellent job with our kitchen project. The lead carpenter (Brian) is very versatile and friendly; we have the utmost respect for him and his capability. Their recommended electrician and plumber also worked out well and we got what we wanted in a timely manner. We'll certainly go back to them when we are ready for a bathroom project! **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > I am glad you are happy with the kitchen. I will let everyone who was involved know you are very pleased. **★★★★★ — nhpita, Sept. 2015** > Direct Kitchens did a built in corner entertainment center. Steve was great in helping us select the cabinets and design the center. Jerry installed it. He cleaned up at the end of every day. Both were professional, courteous and they always there to answer our questions. I would recommend them to anyone! **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Looks great!! I am sure you will enjoy your new room. **★★★★★ — tshell223, Dec. 2014** > We've been very pleased throughout the whole kitchen upgrade project. We were treated well by everyone involved at DKD. > Dave was extremely helpful and patient in planning our new kitchen and making all of the decisions. It was a pleasure to have Bryan working in our home. He was very competent and always pleasant and cooperative - willing to answer questions and solve any little issues that arose. He did a wonderful job! The subcontractors used were also very professional. > We would definitely refer DKD to anyone thinking about remodeling a kitchen! **Comment from Direct Kitchen Distributors:** > Thanks for your comments. I am glad we were able to meet and exceed your expectations. ## Selected projects - [Gary and Bonnie's Kitchen - Full Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gary-and-bonnie-s-kitchen-full-remodel-pj-vj~2443412) - Location: Bath, PA - Photos: 3 - Description: This kitchen remodel included: cabinets by Waypoint Living Spaces in Cherry, countertops by Cambria Quartz, flooring by Mannington Adura, and backsplash by Crossville Tile. - [Cherry Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-kitchen-pj-vj~123452) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 5 - [Ross and Mary Ann's Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-and-mary-ann-s-bathroom-pj-vj~1965890) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 3 - [Alan and Peggy's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alan-and-peggy-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1409961) - Location: Coplay, PA - Photos: 3 - [Deco Tile](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deco-tile-pj-vj~152704) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 2 - [Pecan Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pecan-kitchen-pj-vj~321254) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 1 - [Ross and Mary Ann's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-and-mary-ann-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1533334) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 2 - [Mike and Sandra's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mike-and-sandra-s-kitchen-pj-vj~763128) - Location: Whitehall, PA - Photos: 2 - [Robert & Angie's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/robert-and-angie-s-kitchen-pj-vj~785022) - Location: Bethlehem, PA - Photos: 2 - [Nicole's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nicole-s-kitchen-pj-vj~506901) - Location: New Smithville, PA - Photos: 4 - [Trevor & Ruth Ann's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trevor-and-ruth-ann-s-kitchen-pj-vj~823670) - Location: Orefield, PA - Photos: 5 - [Carl & Frances's Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carl-and-frances-s-bathroom-pj-vj~789344) - Location: Easton, PA - Photos: 3 - [Tom's Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tom-s-bathroom-pj-vj~362694) - Location: Easton, PA - Photos: 4 - [Joe & Terry's TV Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/joe-and-terry-s-tv-room-pj-vj~1310574) - Location: Northampton, PA - Photos: 2 - [Jeff and Pat's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeff-and-pat-s-kitchen-pj-vj~2712427) - Location: Easton, PA - Photos: 3 - [Diane's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/diane-s-kitchen-pj-vj~2679140) - Location: Coplay, PA - Photos: 4 - [Jason and Leslie's New Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jason-and-leslie-s-new-kitchen-pj-vj~5931801) - Location: Northampton, PA - Photos: 2 - [Jeff and Tracey's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeff-and-tracey-s-kitchen-pj-vj~5664673) - Location: Bangor, PA - Photos: 3 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/direct-kitchen-distributors-pfvwus-pf~813866543) ## Community Q&A **Q: Shower arm?** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand is it?
