My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ann was outstanding. Her level of professionalism and attention to detail were simply wonderful. She listens, advises and plans accordingly. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our new kitchen and would (and have) highly recommended her company to others. Thanks for everything, Ann!

The team at Distinctive Designs has been so professional, helpful and patient during my recent kitchen addition/renovation. Sandy guided me without being pushy and seemed to know what I wanted before I did. The quality of the cabinets and the workmanshp of all involved is unbeatable.My kitchen is a dream come true and I have not regretted a single aspect of the project decisions or the results. I would highly recommend this company.

Simple, Beautiful solutions. After our meeting with Distinctive at our home It was very clear the vision I had for the new kitchen was limited. Anne could see beyond the walls , I never dreamed I would have as much smart usable space. My husband has very limited mobility and I wanted him to be comfortable and safe working in the space. Below a few pix of a safe microwave with a landing spot for hot items that disappears! next photo is the easiest dishwasher ever to unload..no steps involved with the drawers below...may just end the "whos turn to unload this" argument. Many other solutions in my dream kitchen that Anne put into the design simply from understanding the need. From the choice of renovator , scheduling the trades, to the install of the truly elegant cabinets and countertops there was a tight schedule that was respected. Work competed as promised. Always just an e-mail away for questions...the team at Distinctive couldn't have made this major renovation any easier. We entertain at home more often now , not to show off my new kitchen (but its hard not to), but because the space became more inviting, comfortable, and truly ours. Thank you

From my first meeting with Anne, I was impressed with how she asked questions that helped her formulate a design that she knew I would love... and a week later, the design was the kitchen I didn’t even realize that I had always wanted. Anne and her team promised completion before Christmas and my faith in them was well founded. They were on schedule with each step ,unlike any team I’ve ever heard of. They contracted out each professional as needed... Mike Lauzon the contractor , Michelle the painter, Rick the installer etc, all choreographed perfectly with Anne and her team, Annelies, and Julia. My modern sleek gorgeous kitchen feels like functional artwork in my home and I’m so lucky to have hired this designer! I would recommend them to everyone... I can’t imagine being more pleased than I am. Thanks Anne, Julia, Annelies, Mike and Rick!

We highly recommend Anne and her team from Distinctive Designs and Cabinetry Inc. to look after your kitchen renovation. We are beyond pleased with our final product and absolutely love our new kitchen. She didn't miss a detail. Work quality was exceeded by each trade that represented Distinctive Designs. Each deadline was meet with ease. We would, hands down, have Anne do any future work for us.
