Outdoor Kitchen Designers in Durham

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“Consumers was our first stop when we considered remodeling our newly purchased home. We got a good introduction to kitchen & bath remodeling. There was a wide selection of cabinets, countertops and appliances to choose from.”

“We did remodeling for our kitchen and bathroom with New England Kitchen and Bath. Very helpful and organized staff. Amazing ideas. Designers help us to build the most beautiful kitchen and very unique bathroom. Five stars!”

“I have worked with Karen on many of my design projects and she always goes above and beyond to accommodate all of my needs. She knows my aesthetics and when I have a new project, Karen will be totally prepared with selections that she knows I will like. Working with Karen makes my job easier because of her professionalism, excellent customer service, flexibility and of course; beautiful products. There is always something new and cutting edge to see. I return again and again. I am a loyal client but it is well deserved. I would highly recommend Karen without any hesitation.”

“What a great experience I had working with Andrea. I work full-time and did not have the patience to decorate or accessorize my new home. Not knowing her work, but through a recommendation, I contracted her just for my living room first. She listened and knew better than I did what I liked. We used most of what I had but somehow, someway she put it together and with her touches made it a beautiful living space. It looked nothing like it was before. I couldn't stop there so I told her to keep going and for the most part she did my whole downstairs (dining room, bathroom, den...). She is a very easy person to work with who will spend the time with you to make sure you are happy. I told her she should get her own Designer show on HGTV- she is that good.”

“Millpond Kitchens came recommended to us from friends who used them for a remodel. MPK helped design, build and install our kitchen remodel. We live in a round house and the layout was more complicated than I assume a typical kitchen is normally. We were able to get everything we asked for! With help from Don we designed sleek modern cabinetry with no hardware using an MPK recommended push pull interlocking system that leaves the cabinets totally without hardware and very minimalist looking. I feel that Don held our hand every step of the way as we made decisions. We are extremely happy in our upgraded modern kitchen, would work with them again, and for sure give Don and Millpond Kitchens a 5-star review.”

“Complete demolition of our 25 year old kitchen. Floor to ceiling. Approximately 50 drawers/cabinets, including 7 glass cabinets. Quartz countertops. Tile flooring. All lighting upgraded to LED. Installation of 6 appliances, 2 sinks. Our new kitchen is truly an "Award Kitchen." Absolutely beautiful. The attention to details was superior. Considering the scope of this project, we had minimal problems, all of which, were corrected quickly. Guest bathroom was remodeled at the same time to match the kitchen...also beautiful. I would most definitely recommend this company!”

“In the middle of a master bath renovation my contractor and I realized we didn’t know how to make it work. Casa Design came in and achieved exactly what I was looking for. Since then they have done a complete powder room and partial kitchen renovation. Really creative ideas that interpreted exactly what I said I was looking for.”

“Two bathrooms remodeled. Master Bath was a complete remodeling job. The downstairs bath, the homeowners elected to keep the vanity and fixtures as they were transitioned (new) approx 3 yrs ago. The workmanship and supervision of the Scribbners team was excellent. Job completion was as planned. My husband who had previously worked in construction was very pleased with the initial startup plan. The appointments for discussion, the Architect and the drawings reviewed by us the homeowners.”
