Ross designed our kitchen. He was very professional. He listened to our request and worked with us patiently on picking the right style. He came to our home multiple times for the measurements and made no error. It has been a pleasant experience working with him. The cost is also very reasonable. It was a great experience working with him. I highly recommend Ross for your next project!

After receiving several discouraging quotes for kitchen cabinets, I found Kitchens by Ross on the Omega website. Ross is such a pleasure to work with and he helped us to design our new kitchen at an affordable price. We liked our kitchen so much that we decided to remodel the bathrooms and Ross helped us with that as well. He is knowledgeable and professional. He provides excellent customer service and took care of any issues that we had immediately. I would highly recommend Ross for all of your remodeling needs!

We had a wonderful experience working with Ross for our brand new house in Cupertino. I would rate Kitchens by Ross A+ for customer service. Ross is really smart and funny and he did all the thinking for us, designed excellent cabinets for our house including special order cabinets that we wanted. Ross and his assistant Mary have been there every step of the process, working through even minor hiccups making sure we are fully satisfied with their services. They are completely reliable and honest with their pricing and work ethic. Overall Kitchens by Ross is very professional!

Ross designed my kitchen, mudroom and wet bar. He is extremely professional and responsive. He not only came up a wonderful design but also went above and beyond helping me during the painful remodeling process. I was working on a very tight schedule and he always accommodated my appointments. There were a couple of missing/damage pieces. He ordered quickly with absolutely no delay. My island cabinets turned out to be quite different tone than originally showed by the door sample and he resolved with Omega quickly and delivered a new set. I am totally thrilled by his service. More importantly, he is a gentleman with integrity that is hard to find nowadays in trade. I highly recommend whoever needs kitchen cabinets to give him a try. He is a outstanding designer and also a wonderful person to work with.

Ross recently designed cabinets for our guest bathroom remodel. He took our rough ideas and created a perfect design. The cabinet construction and finish is excellent and we installed the cabinets without any problems. Ross is very pleasant to work with - creative, patient, and humorous. And his price were very reasonable. A few years ago Ross designed the cabinets for the kitchen at my wife's place of employment and did a great job there too.

I worked with Ross on a total kitchen remodel for our Townhouse in the Bay Area. Ross was great to work with! He listened to the feel we wanted in that area, looked at samples of cabinets, fixtures, features that we wanted and then went to work to design for us our ideal kitchen. He not only took our suggestions but also incorporated quite a few additional ideas of things he thought would further enhance the space for us. The drawer style microwave oven (installed below the kitchen counter) and the "kick to open" functionality on our garbage drawer are two now must-haves in any future kitchen project.
Ross also did all of our cabinet work in all of our bathrooms which were also remodeled. I really liked that Ross was great about also recommending things that would help us carry design elements throughout the townhouse in addition to helping us to save $s.
We would highly recommend Ross for future home remodel projects.

It's been a pleasure to work with Ross for our semi custom Omega kitchen cabinets. We found him to be straightforward and forthcoming. He provided valuable guidance during the design. He dropped by the job site multiple times, took his own measurements. Best of all, he provided excellent after sales service. We couldn't be happier.

First time home renovators. Ross was patient as we navigated our options. Friendly and customer oriented approach. Quality products at reasonable price. A hiccup on the dimension of the pantry- likely the vendors fault but ultimately Ross worked with us and found a solution. Customer satisfaction is a priority for Ross which is key.

Ross is great! My cabinets are beautiful. I found Ross very easy to work with. Ross was very patient, giving me plenty of time to choose what I wanted and never pressuring me. No remodel goes off without a hitch. When little things went wrong, whether it was the cabinets or the contractor or me changing my mind, Ross took care of everything -- no questions asked. I would absolutely work with Ross again any time!

Without Kitchens By Ross, I would still be toiling away in a poorly designed, outdated kitchen. He made remodeling fun, easy and the results were amazing. His advice, guidance, attention to detail, and focus on his customers is exceptional. Ross takes the time to understand what his clients want and provides recommendations that help achieve their goals. He always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect.

We were completed satisfied with the knowledge, helpfulness, professionalism and end result product of the cabinetry designed by Ross. Ross did our kitchen cabinets as well as our bathroom and family room. All are beautiful, function perfectly, and we couldn't be more pleased. Without the experience and knowledge that Ross provided, we never would have ended up with such perfect results. We highly recommend Kitchens by Ross.

We are very glad to have Ross to help us with our reconstruction project. The kitchen is the center of my house, just like many others on Houzz. Ross is very knowledgeable with everything about kitchen - cabinet, tile, choice of color, you name it! Ross is also responsive and honest in term of design, placing orders, tracking status, working with my contractors, and fixing problems. , and I recommended Ross strongly to my friends who were doing their remodels/reconstructions!

Ross worked closely with us to designed a customized Kitchen that met our needs. We really wanted lighter cabinets on the outside of the kitchen and a darker Island with a matching butlers pantry. He designed and provided us a very elegant and functional kitchen which will be the central hub of our home. I cant want to move in and start using this kitchen.

Ross is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant to work with, listens to your ideas and opinions, has a wide variety of selection of top-notch quality cabinetry and many selections to help make your choice. He met all commitments and was professional, cordial, and knowledgeable. He offered trim for the cabinetry which made the look fantastic. I have received numerous admiration & praises from my house guests when the see the end result. Above all, Ross is a joy to work with and is totally engaged in providing quality service and product, as well as totally qualified with the best selection of product.

As a professional I have been working with Ross for 10 years. I met him when I was doing my own kitchen project. I hired him then and have recommended him for several clients as well during the past decade. Professional and follows through.

Ross provided a quote with what we had in mind but would not do any drawings without a non-refundable $750 payment in case we would decide not to purchase from him. There are way too many variables that come up during a design where a company easily can add a lot of cost and suddenly you have to decide to either pay all extra charges or letting the $750 go. We also talked to a lot of other people who remodeled their home and none had to pay a non-refundable deposit to get drawings.

Comment from Kitchens by Ross:
Professional designers charge for their time, designs and drawings. I am a professional kitchen designer with over 25 years’ experience and, as this is my livelihood, I do charge money for my services.
Robert had found me on the internet and emailed me a request for a quotation on cabinetry for his new kitchen. After asking a few questions via email to clarify some job conditions and preferences, I sent a detailed proposal based upon his attached architectural scaled floor plan for the cabinetry desired. In my notes I outlined my services and mentioned that if the proposal was mutually agreeable we could move to doing drawings and I would measure the jobsite under construction.
I also explained that I have a studio to view the cabinets, meet me, and answer any other questions he may have.
Robert was unable or unwilling to meet with me and was not ready to commit to my services, but asked for drawings of the kitchen.
Replying that since he was undecided in using my services after my proposal, then a $750.00 retainer would be required for detailed drawings of the kitchen. As stated, this fee would be totally applicable to the cabinet purchase.
I respect Robert’s decision not to pay for my work, but I am confused by the notion that I am somehow bound to provide free drawings to anyone who contacts me. I have not met Robert in person nor have we conversed on the phone.
I am an excellent kitchen designer with a good reputation and a wealth of experience. I love working with my clients and look forward to working with many more.

Ross designed and remodeled the kitchen in my last house. He did such a great job I am using him for the kitchen remodel on my new house. Ross worked with us to design a kitchen to increase the cabinet space from the current configuration. He also designed the layout for efficiency in the kitchen,
He suggested cabinet's which were rich in look but not super expensive. Easy to work with, listened to our needs and designed from there. Also gave great suggestions along the way.

I give Kitchens by Ross 4 1/2 stars. We were overall very happy with the quality and look of our cabinets. Ross was very knowledgable and patient and gave us great service and advice as we had several modifications in the process. The only area of concern was there were some measuring errors which led to last minute modifications and some items needed to be reordered. Ross graciously corrected the errors and stood behind his work. we are very pleased with our kitchen.

We hired Ross to design our kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, laundry/mud room cabinets, and a built in media cabinet for the family room. Our original plan (to save money) was to reuse the kitchen cabinets when we expanded the house and moved the kitchen, but that plan turned out to be a big mistake that cost us valuable time. We then planned to use some of the old cabinets in 2 of the bathrooms and the laundry/mud room, but that plan didn't work out well either. In the end, Ross helped us design all new cabinets for the kitchen, 3 of 4 bathrooms (the powder room has a pedestal sink), the mud room, and a built-in media cabinet for the family room. We are very happy with Ross's work and his work ethic and we are very happy with the end product. Last minute changes were required more than once, due to unforeseen circumstances and Ross responded each time by working up a new design quickly, getting it approved by us, then getting the cabinets expedited from the manufacturer.
Ross is a very nice guy. He is very accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we were happy customers. The price for the cabinets was very reasonable. If I had known that the price would be this reasonable, then I would have chosen to go with new cabinets from the beginning. NOTE to all of you soon-to-be-remodelers - Don't try to reuse cabinets!
We are very happy with our home and particularly the cabinets. We are happy with the quality of the Omega by Dynasty cabinets as well as the work that went into installing them. Ross did a very good job. I would be happy to hire him again.

Working with Ross Nelson was great! My contractor referred me to Ross for my kitchen cabinets. I was not sure of what I truly wanted for cabinets and with great experience and knowledge, Ross helped guide me through that decision. I love the results! I also had a fairly tight budget to work with and Ross had suggestions that still assured me the utmost quality. The cabinets arrived exactly when promised- surprising how quickly the project came together. Ross was also extremely fun to work with- he is just a very comfortable, natural guy who knows his business and tells it like it is, and has a sense of humor! I am very proud to have a Kitchen by Ross!

Ross helped us design a master bath cabinet for our remodel. He was very easy to work with and provided high quality service and product. Ross customized our cabinet to create the look we wanted and helped to coordinate colors and style. He was extremely patient and understanding. Ross provided samples for us to take home which was beneficial in matching wall tile and flooring. He offered cost saving ideas along with quality cabinetry and service. He has a very easy going personality which made the experience enjoyable.

After interviewing and obtaining bids from three companies, we hired Ross's team for a full kitchen remodel, including new counters, cabinetry, appliances, sink/backsplash and lighting. The bids were competitive, but we chose Ross because of his easy-going, un-pushy manner and his willingness to accommodate our budget and timeframe. Our final cost was exactly as estimated and the project was completed before our deadline. The contractor was reliable and professional, making a point to be on site to supervise and manage the work from his efficient and considerate crew, and from outside sub-contractors. He offered great suggestions on some of the details of the remodel (i.e. relocation of a ceiling fan, special lighting for a skylight, paint color), and provided extra touches at no cost. All products and materials have held up well after four years...

Ross completely flipped my family room and kitchen to a highly functioning and beautiful space. He has amazing patience and great ability to listen and respect ideas. He combined his design and balance expertise to my thoughts and ideas. He was accurate and upfront on all costs and dates. He custom designed cabinets to meet my specific needs. Was available to make right anything that was off even after the delivery and instillation was complete. Ross is a great find

I am so very pleased with the kitchen and bath remodel performed by Kitchens by Ross. Ross understood what I wanted and helped me through the process. He answered the myriad of questions I had and provided expert guidance. Ross went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the kitchen cabinetry, to the extent of replacing some door panels that had very minor knots. Ross suggested side panels that added a very nice touch to the cabinetry, a hidden spice rack, and I love the peanut-shape roll out shelving. Ross and his contractor met the deadlines and budget!
