Kitchen Designers in San Francisco

“They really are as good as it gets. Susan is endlessly knowledgeable of materials and manufacturers, great with finding solutions to problem areas, creative and always thorough and professional. We look forward to working with them again on any future kitchen plans.”

“As in Interior Designer, I have collaborated with Steve on several kitchen and bath projects in Alamo, Lafayette & Walnut Creek, California. Regardless of the scope, cabinet upgrades or a kitchen redesign, he is professional and mindful of the client's goal as well as their budget. Steve gives a considerable amount of attention to detail in his layouts: counter & storage space, island design, lighting, ventilation systems and recycling needs. I find him a true joy to work with and would recommend him for any project. He is on my "short list" of kitchen and bath designers. - Carol”

“I actually selected KDS from the Houzz website. Best decision ever! Kevin is very professional and was really able to bring our project to life, even better than I had envisioned it! He managed to squeeze in a good sized pantry, and here I thought I'd never get one! Kevin's website is very user friendly with a lot of before and after pics! He literally walked us through every step of the whole process helping and guiding us to make the right decisions and selections. Let me say this is a really tough and stressful process and ones always worries about making the wrong choice either in color, material or use of space. Kevin was always there to help guide us and the result is an area that we absolutely love and thoroughly enjoy!!! Kevin has a wonderful eye for color, use of space, and never tries to force his own taste on you but actually works with what you like and dislike! I can't recommend him highly enough. You'll be so happy to have him working for you! He's the best!!!!”

“My designer has used Demetra before and the reviews were excellent. Our experience was not flawless. However, we were able to work out a solution with Demetra. We ordered cabinets for a kitchen and a kitchenette. My designer started working with Lexus and unfortunately their design used an 8' ceiling instead of 9'. A few months later when we were ready to work out the design Lexus was gone, so Kevin took over. Kevin came and measured the spaces to finalize the designs. I met with him to go over the details. For the kitchenette he was able to figure out an efficient panel layout to cover the bottom side of the uppers that were not colored (this is a drawback with the acrylic cabinets). That was great, except when he measured at the site he did not see that a beam that intersects his design of the upper cabinets. Luckily, I caught this error before the cabinets were in production. He was very quick to update the design and the cost was actually reduced with our solution. Unfortunately, I did not catch the 8' ceiling error in the larger kitchen design. The renderings showed the cabinets going to the ceiling like I wanted. After we placed the order we were told that the finish we selected was no longer available! Make sure to confirm the materials before signing off for production. The only option Demetra offered was a different finish (acrylic) which was a different shade of cream. We were in a pickle since we needed the cabinets and the production time is quoted as 6-8 weeks. Finally, the cabinets were delivered and when my contractor started the installation he let me know that the 8' tall panels to cover the sides of the refrigerator were too short. I contact Kevin and he tells me that the panels are not available taller than 8'. Things are looking pretty grim...I meet with Kevin and Ricky (owner) and we quickly came up with a solution using a new product that will coordinate with the cabinets and has longer panels. Ricky agreed to credit us for the short panels to offset the cost of the new panels and additional upper cabinet/doors. Overall, the cabinets may even look better, and Kevin and Ricky were creative in figuring out how to use what we had to minimize the additional cost. The acrylic cabinets are stunning and are more durable compared with the high-gloss enamel (used in our last kitchen project). The lead time for the material is also short - just 2 weeks. If you are thinking you will save some money and just use IKEA cabinets, you should reconsider. Demetra has custom size cabinets that are much higher quality for not much more cost - and you don't have to build the boxes. Also, you can get replacement doors from Demetra if you need them later.”

“The Cabinet Center was recommended to us by our contractor and from our first visit we found the staff very helpful and informative. On that first visit Joe answered all of our questions... and we had a ton of them. We scheduled and met with Brad at our home who gave us some real good suggestions once he saw the kitchen layout. About a week later he provided us a reasonable estimate and we've moved forward without a hitch! We absolutely love the new kitchen and recommend Brad and The Cabinet Center highly. They made what could have been a stressful experience smooth as could be.”

“We have had Goodlife Kitchens renovate two different kitchens in two different homes and the results were fantastic! They designed/ installed new cabinets, countertops, and even suggested a great painter. If we ever move again, I will be calling Dermot.”

“I have hired Caliber Cabinets on two occasions for customers work on two different homes. For the first project, they created a gorgeous huge built in unit with shelving, cabinets and desk and for the second project, they made exquisite cabinets for our kitchen and mud room. They were a pleasure to work with and stand by their work. I would not hesitate to work with them again!!”

“We had been looking for a design architect to remodel a 1960's farm house in Napa Valley. Two attempts with others had resulted in frustration until Don Gross came to our property and offered a design that helped integrate the exiting two bedroom four car garage guest house with the remodel. Don is an amazing designer and problem solver par excellance. He helped picked the building team and worked for two years with them and me as the General Contractor. I consider him still a close friend and a tireless detail oriented professional. Please contact owner for pictures of completed remodel exterior and interior.”
