Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens & Baths

Our home was built in 1941 and we have lived here for the last 20+ years. A previous owner remodeled the kitchen/breakfast area a number of years before we purchased the house. The kitchen/breakfast area was functional but not very efficient and certainly not very attractive. Our dream was a complete makeover and it was for that makeover that we approached Daryl Ann at KCK&B. She was recommended to us by a trusted friend. Now, some months later, the makeover is done and we are ecstatic. We could not be more pleased. From the very start, the process was smooth and pleasant. Daryl Ann is not just an accomplished professional but a professional with excellent communication skills. She shared samples with us for countertops and the like that we took home to think about and to consider. When she visited at our home she was comfortable to be with and she had good ideas. She was a good listener and took into account our ideas. She showed us where things could be better than we thought they could be but she also incorporated some of our ideas. She works with a contractor, Bob Crandall, who we found immediately likable. We decided to stay with the combination of Daryl Ann planning and Bob installing. It was a great decision. Bob is an excellent problem solver and now that the job is over even small workarounds that our peculiar kitchen required came out looking perfect. Daryl Ann worked with us to negotiate an acceptable cost. She showed us options for things like cabinet doors and range hoods. We were able make choices that pleased us and that kept us on budget. The result is that we have a makeover that we can't imagine being any better. The dismantling, removal, and installation work was seamless. Bob does excellent work and considerate while he does his work. He is efficient and even did a few little extra things for us on the way. And then we thinking this experience could hardly be better, the final price tag came in under estimate. There is absolutely no question that when we start thinking about remodeling our bathrooms, we will be headed to Kalamazoo Custom Kitchen & Bath. They are the best!

In brief, we couldn't write enough superlatives to describe our experience with Daryl Ann and Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens & Baths. My wife and I started the entire process of planning the remodel in the summer of 2018. Our house is about thirty years old, and needed to be brought into the 21st century. We met with a few companies, and Daryl Ann best understood our vision for the project. We completely remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms, as well as replaced carpet with hardwood floors, refinished the old hardwood, replaced all doors and trim, painted all three bedrooms and other improvements. Daryl Ann was very good about helping us understand what would work for our home, and providing much more than designs. She would help us narrow down choices, and guide us to the best decision possible. She was also very straightforward with us when necessary, and helped us to understand the whole process. Daryl Ann recommended Bob Crandall as our contractor, and it was the first of many excellent decisions. Bob was perfect for us, and helped coordinate everything throughout the remodel. Bob would essentially work one room at a time, and we were never without a functioning bathroom or kitchen. Daryl Ann also steered us to Richards Kitchen and Bath Showrooms where we worked with Debbie to pick out fixtures. Lakeside Surfaces provided the quartz countertops. Real Wood Floors tied in the new wood to the old and made it look perfect. Dave's Glass provided the shower doors. Remodeling or building is not for the faint of heart. Daryl Ann removed much of the stress from the situation, and we're very pleased with the results.

I was anxious about attempting a kitchen remodel. I had a small, quirky space (mostly corners!) to work with, and I’m a “scratch” cook who enjoys preparing a wide variety of dishes using an impossibly large collection of cookware and spices. And my remodel budget was tight. Daryl Ann and Bob were willing to take on our project, problem-solve our issues, and deliver a well- functioning kitchen that looks good enough to be my new happy place. Daryl Ann had an uncanny ability to understand what I needed in the new kitchen even before I realized it myself. She really listened to what I wanted and added her own expertise. Bob’s exacting, competent construction and installation took care with every detail. Both professionals take pride in what they do and are a joy to work with, even through a long, multi-week project. The result is a kitchen that feels tailored to suit us just right. I needn’t have worried.

Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens is the place to go for a kitchen remodel. Kyle was excellent to work with throughout the entire process... down to every tiny detail. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new kitchen!

Daryl Ann (Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens & Baths) was a pleasure to work with. She listened to our thoughts on the project and worked with us to develop a plan for our kitchen. Her layout of the kitchen utilized every inch of possible space. She was very knowledgeable about the materials we wanted to use, and she kept us informed with respect to the timelines on the cabinets and counters. She was also great when we had follow up questions after the project was done. I would highly recommend Daryl Ann and Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens & Baths.

I have worked with Daryl Ann on a local project and she did fabulous work! I look forward to continuing our relationship and still working together

We absolutely love working with Daryl Ann and her team and are repeat clients. She previously helped us with a bathroom remodel and recently worked with us on our full kitchen remodel. Daryl Ann has the ability to quickly understand our wants and needs and developed a kitchen design that we just love!!! Everything came together perfectly and there isn't a thing we would change. Every detail was thought out to ensure everything fit our needs. Her vision of how to tie the kitchen design into the other aspects of our house so it all flows together worked out perfectly. The customer service of her and her team are unmatched. The quality of the cabinets and hardware are amazing. We are looking forward to having an opportunity to work with her again in the future when we remodel our master bathroom. Thanks!!!!!!

Excellent customer service provided by Daryl Ann and her associates. Our kitchen is gorgeous and exceeded our expectations! We love the quality of the Grabill cabinets and will enjoy it for years to come.

I had the pleasure of working with Daryl Ann, owner and president of Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens and Bath. She was there every step of the way as she helped both me and my clients through the kitchen cabinet design process. Her flexibility, availability and shining personality made the entire project easy to handle and a joy to complete. I would definitely recommend her.

KCK was very professional and helpful in helping us with our kitchen and laundry room remodel. They brought many ideas to the table and debated the pros and cons with us to come up with a great project with high quality cabinets at a price that met our budget. This also included adding a half bath vanity that turned out great! The follow-up was great and they were our advocate with the contractor that did the install. It ended up as a partnership that was a very pleasurable experience. I would highly recommend KCK to anyone.

Daryl Ann was a pleasure to work with through the process of updating our kitchen and laundry. She found creative ways to work with our budget and was very responsive to our questions and requests along the way. The customer focus and expertise provided by Daryl Ann and the staff at KCK is superb.

Daryl Ann was a pleasure to work with, very helpful with providing our design, and offering suggestions. She answered any questions we had, and was great in keeping us informed of updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great designer. She made it a painless project!

Couldn't be happier with the results and experience of working withDaryl Anne Letts and her team from Kalamazoo Custon Kitchens and Bath. We needed very specialized built in cabinets for our bedroom and entry way . Her creative suggestions were extrodinere and combined with her attention to detail and professional work proceedure we now have beautiful, functional cabnitry that enhance the space and ambiance of our home Thank-you Daryl Ann and team

Appreciate the Prompt friendly service provided for my upcoming project on designing my kitchen. The staff was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction for all of the questions I had. Thank you very much!

Daryl Ann and her team did a wonderful job designing our kitchen. We appreciated the suggestions and ideas afforded by their experience and expertise. They are good listeners and are willing to tweak any changes for the customer. It's been over 10 years now and we still love our kitchen! In 2008, we went back to KCK for our entertainment center in the family room. Again, we were very pleased with the results.

We had Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens do 3 kitchens for us over a 15 year period (our home, a family cottage, and a resort condo). The most recent was in 2014. Daryl Ann is a great kitchen designer! She is very creative and knowledgable about the use of space and how to create a kitchen that is functional, convenient, and attractive. She is much more than the "cabinet salesperson" you often encounter. We enjoyed working with her. She is always responsive and has many suggestions that wouldn't have occurred to us. The results have been kitchens that met our needs and exceeded our expectations. We love our kitchens!

Daryl Ann designed a wonderful entertainment unit and a window seat/cabinet unit for our new home. She was very patient through the design process and made sure everything was just right, straight through the installation process. The units are beautiful and will add lasting value to our home. Daryl Ann and her staff also designed a kitchen remodel for us in 1996. The kitchen had a very efficient layout that maximized work flow and storage in a relatively compact space. When we recently sold that home, the design still looked timeless and was a positive selling point for the home.

If you want an amazing kitchen, then you should work with Daryl Ann and Rachael. What I appreciated most about Daryl Ann and Rachael is that they LISTENED to what I wanted and then designed the perfect kitchen. They took care of all the details start to finish and were prompt in returning phone calls/emails. They were so pleasant and nice to work with, always enthusiastic and willing to help. I will never change my kitchen because I love it so much, but if I did, I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Twenty years ago Daryl Ann designed the Kitchen in our dream house and not only was it intelligently designed and beautiful, it stood the test of time. When we downsized into our lakefront condo, the first thing that we did was to hire Daryl Ann to design our new dream kitchen. She is extraordinarily attentive to detail, listening to our ideas and wish list and translating them into a work of beauty and functionality. She has a very good eye for shape, texture and color and having been in the business for over 35 years, she brings an ocean of experience and ideas to the table, not to mention impecable taste. When making choices on materials, colors, etc. my husband's first question was always: What does Daryl Ann think? She spent many hours on site during the design stage and was also there while the contractor installed the project, making sure everything was perfect. Bottom line: She always exceeds our expectations.

Daryl Ann drew up our kitchen and did a wonderful job for us. She is detailed and gets what you want and has many design suggestions for your space. She is easy to work with because she is client centered. We built a house about seven years ago and are still in love with the kitchen. I've also seen many other kitchens in this area that she has done and they are outstanding. Each enhances the home and reflect her clients lifestyle.

Daryl Ann did an excellent job with our kitchen and bath. From beginning to end, it was a fabulous experience. Daryl Ann worked within our budget and exceeded all expectations.

We had our kitchen counters, back splash and sink updated. We selected Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens and Baths for the job since they had given us the most valuable advice and input on our plans. Daryl An was wonderful to work with and her design turned out perfect for us. The installers were very professional and did a terrific job. The kitchen turned out so much better than we ever expected and we LOVE it. Thanks Daryl Ann and crew.

Wonderful customer that I have had the privelege to work with on many jobs. Very professional and nice to see how they truly listen to their customers wants and needs. Would highly recommend them for any kitchen & bathroom project. They offer professional services from space planning to selections and install. A pleasure to work with!

Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens is such a pleasure to work with. Daryl Ann is a true professional but she is also a lot of fun as well. Both her and her staff are painstakingly meticulous, ensuring every step is planned and executed flawlessly. This style of dedication ensures a beautifully finished project their clients will enjoy for many years to come. One of the things that impressed me about Daryl Ann was to see over and over again her clients becoming her friends during and long after their project had been completed, for me that says everything. I am honored to work with such a dedicated team of professionals.

I have worked with Daryl Ann on more than 2 occasions and she has excellent designs. She listens to the homeowner more than any other kitchen designer in the Kalamazoo area . Some kitchen designers want to tell you how they would design your kitchen. Daryl Ann listens to your ideas and then puts it together from your conversations. The Grabill cabinets are second to none! I have visited showrooms in Grand Rapids and they RAVE about Grabill cabinets. Quality cabinets and Quality design, wonderful to work with.

The team at Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens did a fabulous job when it came to working with my wife and I to decide on a course for the kitchen. They went out of their way to provide samples and follow up on questions asked.
