Our builder hired Designers Plus Kitchen & 'Bath to design and build our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. While they were helpful during the design stage, it became a problem at the end when they failed to come back and install two new cabinet doors that were to replace ones that they installed upside down. Instead they handed the new doors over to our builder who has refused to install it. Additionally several of the drawers bump into each other and the handles on the cabinets and drawers are endlessly coming loose as well. We are not impressed by the quality of their work.

Julie,
We pride ourselves in our history of client relationships and helping our clients in providing lifestyle spaces that they will forever create memories in.
It is unfortunate when people are upset and dissatisfied with the design and service that we intended to carry out for them. When this has happened, in the past (on rare occasions), we have worked hard in rectifying the situation quickly so everyone is happy.
As you have mentioned we are contracted with your builder. We are under their instruction as to how to deal with the issues you mentioned. As you are probably aware, there are some complications between you and your builder that need not be addressed in this reply.
We would be happy to install the doors and address the service issues mentioned, once we get the go ahead from the builder. Unfortunately our hands are somewhat tied in this matter.
Please contact your builder with your concerns and demands. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Thank you,
Designers Plus Kitchen & Bath

We had a kitchen designed and installed by Designers Plus Kitchen and Bath Studio in Barrie, Ontario. I have never had such a great experience from start to finish. Our consultant Sheree Toffan was amazing; she was back to us with drawings immediately with every change we made and the installation was professionals and when they said they would be there at 9am they were there. I have since recommended another couple and they seem absolutely thrilled with them them so far.

Wonderful experience with Designers Plus. Easy to work with and skilled at bringing our ideas to reality. Reasonably met deadlines and kept within our budget. Provided options and choices that made sense. After installation they did not falter with customer service. We had a minor issue which was addressed quickly and resolved just a quick. We recommend without a second thought!

I absolutely love my new kitchen - lots more storage space than I had in the old one. The contractor, Brad, who did all the work, was meticulous. Design Plus allowed us to create the kitchen we wanted - simple yet elegant. I can't say enough positives about the whole experience, even when we uncovered some "interesting" aspects to the old kitchen. Thank you once again.

As an architectural and interior photographer, I have worked with many companies and have photographed some incredibly beautiful kitchens. The entire team at Designers Plus is always a pleasure to work with and their designs are truly inspiring. I appreciate their commitment to excellence right down to the finest detail. I also respect and value their feedback on my photography because it pushes my creativity to capture the essence of their work. To put it bluntly, they're very particular, and that's a good thing for which I'm thankful. And from what I hear from their clients, I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

Thank you so much Mike! We should be in touch soon!
My wife and I recently hired the services of Designers Plus Kitchen and Bath Studio in Barrie, Ontario, to renovate our 25 year old kitchen. From our first meeting, through the design and quoting process, to finalizing the contract, through the renovation and the completion of the project, we cannot say enough good things about Designers Plus. Knowledgable staff, excellent trades people, top quality management and advice, made our experience, outstanding.The final product has exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled!
We would highly recommend the Designers Plus Kitchen and Bath Studio team.

Hello Ric,
Thank you so much for all your positive words. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife and according to Ernie, he really enjoyed designing this kitchen project with you!
Your kitchen is beautiful and I can just picture it with your grandchildren sitting around the island (or the bar).
Thank you again!

Sheree Toffan and her team gave me the kitchen of my dreams and more. Sheree was full of creative design ideas and practical solutions and I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision, of which there are so many when designing a new kitchen. Every member of the team who came to our home was professional, very competent and pleasant and it shows in the quality of the work. I would highly recommend Sheree and her team to anyone who is looking for a pleasant experience and an excellent outcome. Thanks, Sheree!

I Love my new kitchen by Designers Plus! Once I met our designer Sheree, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. Her enthusiasm is contagious. The whole process from picking cabinets to installation went smoothly and professionally. Ted and Mitch, the installers, were friendly and respectful at all times and did such an amazing job with the finishing work! Thank you, Designers Plus for making this renovation so enjoyable, with a beautiful kitchen to show for it!

Thank you so very much for your kind words! Your design choices really tied it all together. Beautiful back splash!

I had a dream kitchen in mind and Sheree Toffan and the team at Designers Plus made it come true. My biggest problem was storage. A week after our initial meeting, I received a full-scale reno kitchen design with a reasonable estimate staying within my budget. The showroom was laid out so that we could select materials, styles and color schemes easily and I was able to visualize the end product. Once the work started, any questions or concerns that arose, were responded to and dealt with smoothly. The subcontractors were very professional and took pride in their work. The teamwork was very impressive. Our timeline was met. Now that my ktichen is complete, I no longer keep small appliances in the linen closet! I love my extra cabinets, drawer space and counter spaces! I stay home a lot more to cook. My friends are longing for their own new kitchens. You simply cannot go wrong choosing Designers Plus for your renovations. I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is truly a joy to have met you and your family. We love that you are all enjoying your new kitchen!

Our experience with Designers Plus kitchen and Bath Studio was overwhelmingly positive from the get-go. When my husband and I embarked on our search for a professional that would assist us in planning and guiding our kitchen remodel, we researched several prospective kitchen design companies. I sent out emails to several, and received Ernie's personable and enthusiastic response almost immediately. After meeting shortly afterward, we knew his easygoing, no-pressure approach was the fit we were looking for. Ernie made us feel respected, valued and comfortable every step of the way.
We had a finite budget to work within, and this was always respected. We outlined from the start that we wanted to be responsible for completing or contracting out some aspects of the project on our own. We also wanted to retain some of our appliances and features of our original design; but we knew we needed professional advice to both maximize the use of space and suggest ways to freshen-up the overall look. Very important to us was to be able to incorporate our own ideas, such as my wish to create a cozy bench seating area around an existing window nook.
Ernie and the professionals at Designers Plus went the extra mile to ensure we were completely happy with the choices made and the work done, and worked diligently to correct anything that did not go according to plan (as when you do a renovation of this size and scale, there are inevitably unexpected challenges that arise and need to be solved). They were also very flexible in modifying timelines for work to be done, in order to permit us the extra time we needed to complete our own tasks (such as installing our flooring, completing additional electrical and drywall work, installing our own tiling, etc.) within the overall scope of the project.
Throughout the process we learned a lot and met some terrific people. We appreciated the high quality of the materials and products Designers Plus helped us to select for our project and the professionals they employed to install their cabinetry, stonework, etc. were top-notch and a pleasure to work with. We especially love the gorgeous, oversized slab of Terra Bianca quartzite that Ernie personally helped us pick (he met us at the warehouse in Vaughan to hand-select the perfect piece!) to span our almost 9-foot island and to serve as our main eating/gathering space. The slab's earthy, flowing, wave-like pattern serves as an absolutely stunning focal point; I would never have picked it on my own, but so glad Ernie had the ability to see the vision we were looking to achieve to make the recommendations that he did. He has an artistic flair for pulling colour tones and textures together.
Overall we are thrilled with the final result! We still have some finishing touches we plan to complete ourselves when we have some time over the holidays (such as adding a reclaimed wood accent treatment to the large beam that spans the main ceiling, and designing some colourful cushions for the bench seating), but our new kitchen has already become a joy to cook, work and play within! I have no hesitation in recommending this company to others considering a kitchen makeover, whatever the size of your budget.

Would highly recommend Designers Plus to anyone. Elke the owner is a pleasure to work with, detailed and gets the job done right for you. I could not have completed my renovations without her constant help and guidance. I appreciated the fact that Elke understood and delivered value for my money. I was able to stay on budget and spend money on items that really mattered. It's easy to get carried away and have a kitchen renovation soar out of budget. Designers Plus respected budget and worked with me to achieve the best results. This team was a pleasure to work with through every step.
