To create more open space, we decided to take down the wall between our kitchen and dining room. While we wanted to update the kitchen with a new island and cabinetry, we also wanted to preserve most of the existing reclaimed chestnut cabinets as well. Our kitchen designer, Gianna Santoro, did a beautiful job designing the new layout and blending the old with the new. Gianna was always accessible during the whole planning process and was incredibly helpful in providing creative ideas on finishes. Our Deane installer, Peter, was meticulous and did a wonderful job putting it all together! We had a great experience working with Deane!

We LOVED working with Ingrid! From the moment we met her, we knew she understood what we were looking for. She is wonderful to work with and her ideas are very creative. Ingrid was able to transform a small, unattractive space that we did not want to spend time in, into a beautiful, spacious, and relaxing area that we spend all of our time in. Ingrid listened when we wanted to try a new idea and was always available when we had questions. Ingrid supported us every step of the way and even our contractor commented on how great she is to work with-she is very responsive and thinks of every detail. We receive so many compliments on our kitchen and we are thrilled with how it turned out!

We recently completed a kitchen/ mudroom/laundry renovation with Gianna Santoro at Deane. We highly recommend Gianna and the entire team that worked with us. Gianna is enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable and very organized/detail oriented. We are very pleased with the end result and would definitely work with both Deane and Gianna on future projects.

We had a great experience working with Gianna and Deane Inc. Gianna came to the house before we purchased it to give us ideas for how the space could be redone. Once we engaged Gianna, she presented us with numerous creative ideas to what we could do with the space. As we were moving from a small apartment in NYC, we relied heavily on Gianna’s expertise to what we would want/need for the house. Gianna went above and beyond helping us select tiles for the backsplash, mudroom floor, and helping advise us on light placement. Timing and staying on schedule was of the utmost importance to us (with a newborn on the way) and Gianna expertly coordinated schedules with our contractor and vendors, getting us in the house 1 week early! We would absolutely work with Gianna and Deane Inc. again!

We recently finished a project with Terry Scarborough from Deane and Alice Burnham Inc. Interior Design in New Canaan. They have very good design sense and are very knowledgeable about high end cabinetry design and construction. We were very impressed by Deane’s top notch quality throughout the project. Terry Scarborough in particular was very helpful, professional and accommodating throughout the project. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Deane again in the future.

We have used Deane for 4 separate projects over the last ten years and have been thrilled with the quality of the work and the professionalism of their employees. All four invloved complete kitchen redo's, two included bathroom vanities, and one a family room entertainment center/bar, the most recent having been completed last year. I would highly recommend them.

DEANE was a pleasure to work with in every facet of the project, from design development to installation. Our design professional, Terry, was incredibly knowledgeable and very responsive to our questions and concerns. The follow-up and attention to detail, as well as fantastic customer service is what made the project run as smoothly as possible and the end result has exceeded our expectations!

Deane Inc gave us the kitchen of our dreams. They listened and created a transitional kitchen, combining the modern and classic. They took care of every aspect of the design to complete installation and have been there for any hitches along the way. I have reccomended them to every person I know building a new kitchen. A beautiful product and a delight to work with.

We have worked with Gianna Santoro at Deane. She is sharp, professional, creative, flexible, responsive and patient. Her guidance has enabled me to develop my vision by stimulating and facilitating my creative process, allowing me to steer the design and then implementing my vision without ego, yet applying critical thinking to every aspect of the project. She has excellent judgement, which has given both me and my husband confidence in her critiques of our ideas and her own ideas and practical suggestions. She has taken charge of the larger process and is seamlessly guiding it toward completion.
