SARA VANDERSTELT with Creative Kitchens

Sara was referred to us by out builder/contractor. We were immediately impressed with her ability to design a kitchen that met our needs and our wishes. She also designed our master and guest bathrooms along with our laundry room. She was warm and friendly and met all of our needs and requests in a timely manner. If there was an option that did not work for us, she would always find another. We would highly recommend Sara and Creative Kitchens for a remodel or a new build.

Sara was easy to work with and very friendly. She had some great suggestions for my cabinet layout and color chives.

Sara was extremely knowledgeable in helping us plan our kitchen. She provided sensible recommendations, offered choices and options, stayed within our budget. Our kitchen is beautiful - so very happy with the work Sara and her team provided.

Sara was very courteous and professional in dealing with me and other members of my family. She answered all my questions, and returned my phone calls and e-mails. I enjoyed working with her, and now consider her a friend. L

I would recommend Sara without hesitation. She knows and understands kitchens & baths. She listens to what her clients say, which is so important. She knows her products well and clearly keeps abreast of what is current in the kitchen, bath and all things cabinet related.

Sara helped us remodel our kitchen and master bath. She was delightful to work with. She communicated in a timely way with us, our contractor and our architect. She made excellent suggestions and we are thrilled with the results!

Sara was recommended to us by our designer | contractor. We started our project in 2013 of remodeling two bathrooms and our master bedroom. We "LOVED" our cabinets and the quality immediately. When Sara promised us a date they would be in her warehouse and when they could be delivered - RIGHT ON TIME! Our biggest project came in January of 2017 - November of 2017. We gutted the first floor and started from scratch (except the master bedroom). Sara designed the second master, powder room and mud room! Ask Sara to see her "measuring tape" ! She is an expert in measuring. When it came time to do the kitchen it was gutted to the foundation. Sara came out and took final measurements. We APPROVED a plan with minor adjustments because we used TWO different cabinets makers. Our contractor took Sara's plan and marked it on the floor including two small fillers. PERFECT fit! AGAIN, Sara gave us a projected delivery date and since we were ahead of schedule, she had the cabinets delivered in two shipments so we could keep our contractor working and getting my kitchen back after months of cooking in the garage. Sara returns, texts, emails and phone calls in a timely manner. Call Sara first! You will be glad you did just as I did.

Sarah was able to bring my dream kitchen to reality! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the appliances (steam oven, for example) I wanted and how to incorporate them into the re-design of our condo (limited space) kitchen. Listening to and observing how we cook and entertain she was able to maximize our space to give us more room to move, more efficiency and achieve the clean, modern look and feel we desired. She excelled with her team to keep our project on time and deliver quality product within our budget, so that we had minimal down time without the kitchen during the remodel. We highly recommend Sarah and Creative Kitchens for your design needs!

There is a good reason Sara has all five stars. She is truly a find in the crazy world of building a house in Traverse City. She is very professional, but in a warm and friendly way. We were on a very tight budget and Sara came through. She redid the kitchen plan four times trying to get a large kitchen with an island created in under $10,000. She never got upset with changes but was always upbeat and helpful. Our kitchen is beautiful! Thanks Sara

Sara helped me plan and remodel my kitchen and laundry room. She was very professional and everything was ordered perfectly. She paid attention to the time line and detail and was always there to answer all of my questions. When one option didn't work, she always found another. I would totally recommend her for anyone needing new kitchen cabinets.

I was very happy with Sara's work on my kitchen project. She listened, showed attention to detail, was flexible when I decided to do more in my kitchen (a complete remodel in the same footprint) than I had originally planned, and made very helpful suggestions without ever being pushy. She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what she does, and I really enjoyed working with her. Although I spent a bit more than I had anticipated spending, I never really gave her a budget, and not once was she ever pushy in any way. I love my kitchen, and enjoyed working with both Sara and the installer, Frank, who did an outstanding job. One can surely shop at big box stores and spend less, but you do get what you pay for. I would highly recommend Sara as a kitchen designer/salesperson. I assume that she works exclusively for Creative Kitchens, which does have a fine selection of options.

Our experience with Sara was exceptional. Sara is very professional, knowledgeable and resourceful in kitchen design with wonderful attention to detail. It was refreshing to have Sara take our ideas with her expertise and create our stunning kitchen flawlessly. Our kitchen project was completed as promised, within budget and the installation was remarkable. We would highly recommend Sara for any project!
