Custom Kitchen Cabinet Companies in New Canaan

“My wife and I hired Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling to build an addition onto the back of our house, which included a new kitchen, family room, patio, mudroom, and other modifications to the interior. From the start, I was very impressed with Keith’s preparedness and diligence. He created a very detailed and transparent budget (approximately 10 pages), which outlined each item to be done and the price. More importantly, his estimate was accurate, and the prices that we agreed to did not change throughout the project. Keith is also very hands-on. He was on-site every day during the project. He is extremely responsive by email and phone, and if I emailed him a question while I was at work, within a very short period of time, I would receive a response. He was also available on weekends to meet with me, which was more convenient for my schedule. The workmanship of Kling Brothers Builders is top notch. Their on-staff carpenters are excellent, and their subcontractors are all superb. I did not have any issues with shoddy work or questionable characters walking around my property or in my house. Keith is very diligent about the “structure” and integrity of the building, and takes pride in how well built and solid the “bones” of the project are. Although I am not a builder myself, you can just tell that something is well put together by looking at it. Keith stresses quality and perfection, and was not satisfied until we were satisfied. He has access to some of the best craftsmen in the area, and in particular he introduced us to a custom cabinet maker who created a showcase kitchen for us. His other subs, such as the electrician, the plumber, etc., were all personable and flexible. All in all, we were very impressed and happy with Keith Kling. Although my wife and I are reasonable, we also have very high standards. Given the size of our project (to us), we expected top service and attention. Keith came through with flying colors, and he was very friendly, personable, and professional throughout. I have no tolerance for service providers who do not do what they say or make you feel as though you are doing them a favor by giving them your money. Keith is certainly not one of those people. Our project came in on budget, and any additional work that I wanted done was communicated and agreed-to up front. There were no surprises and the communication between Keith and us could not have been better. I give Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling my highest recommendation. I hope to use them again on a future project.”

“We are thrilled with the work done by nd Gothic Furniture. So much so we remodeled one room when our daughter was 3 and did so again as she got older and her needs were different. Our first set of built-ins made it possible for us to have desperately needed storage and closet space, a desk, television closet and a single bed with a trundle underneath for our then 3 year old. As she got older, and we no longer needed room for toys, we remodeled the same room and our bedroom. The design was perfect for a late teenager (lots of storage still) with a larger desk, more floor room and a bed with storage. We also remodeled our own bedroom at that time and were concerned that they would make the room look smaller. We assured the room would look larger and, in fact, it does. Plus we have storage space and a design that looks first class.”

“I am very impressed with all the help on the front end with decisions and options for our remodel. They are very creative and knowledgeable about working in small spaces. The kitchen and children's rooms turned out beautifully and are very functional for our busy family. MPD deserves the high rating they received from New York Magazine.”

“JWH went beyond our expectations with our home expansion. They did an amazing job. The transformation of our home has made us feel like we are living in a dream. Never did we imagine that this project would go so smoothly, and be so stress-free. I would highly recommend them to all for any project.”

“Zee is not only a colleague, but a friend, who has helped us grow our own business in the kitchen and bath industry - through his experience, support and thorough knowledge of cabinetry products. I highly recommend Zee and Manhattan Cabinets for all of your kitchen and bathroom needs.”

“My husband and I hired Esther to help us brighten up our home. Esther's talent for understanding color theory truly blew us away. Her insightful questions helped us discover hidden desires for our space, resulting in a color palette that perfectly captured our personalities. I never knew a cornice board could become such a stunning focal point! The color combination, the rich textures, and the subtle highlights blew me away. The installation went smoother than expected, her team was truly professional. I will definitely tell my friends and family about her service. Thank you, Esther, for transforming our home from average into luxurious.”

“Working with the designers from Artista Kitchen and Bath was pure pleasure. They handled every detail from the beginning, with compassion and skill. Mike and his team ran the project smoothly, on track throughout the entire process. Their design suggestions, even steering us in directions we were reluctant to try, turned out beautifully. Any minor flaw was addressed immediately and corrected without question. I have my dream kitchen thanks to the Artista team!”

“I have hired, worked along side of and recommended Marilyn's company, Touch of Class Fine Finishing, for well over a decade now. On each and every occasion, she and her company have far exceeded each project's expectations. Her knowledge of the business, high standard of quality and overall commitment to meeting and surpassing her client's needs are unparalleled. As far as I am concerned, there is no other finishing or touch up company I will use or recommend others in my network to use on projects.”

“Hub built an amazing bookcase in our apartment. It's about 25 feet long, and he was WONDERFUL to work with. He has an excellent taste level and can offer options and solutions that fit the aesthetic you are looking for. We still love it and get many compliments on it. It is the centerpiece of our living room.”

“We hired Rae Packard as our kitchen designer. Her husband, John, is the master cabinet maker and handles the installations of the cabinets and countertops. They are highly experienced professionals and their advice is invaluable. During our meetings, the focus was completely on the project and every detail was worked out from beginning to end. For example, the position and purpose of each cabinet/drawer/appliance/light, etc., is worked out on paper drawings in advance. They have wood/tile/hardware samples on site, which we found helpful as we considered various options. They also have a wealth of contacts (e.g., general contractor, marble places, appliance places, fixtures, etc.) that they have cultivated over time and that they shared with us as needed. All of their referrals were gold. The Packards worked in a timely manner and they responded to all questions and requests. In summary, if we had to do our kitchen all over again, we would call the Packards.”
