Kitchen Design Services

We worked with KDS for over a year on our house remodeling project that included design, layout and purchase of cabinets for the entire kitchen, laundry, and 3+ bathrooms. Karen is simply amazing to work with and we would recommend her and KDS to anyone starting a renovation. From start to finish, KDS helped us with layout, material selection, consulting help during and even after installation (beyond the scope of work). Exceptional service indeed!

We remodeled our house last year. Kitchen Design Services team is the best team we've ever worked with. Kevin and Ariana did a stunning job to design, order and instruct installation details. They help work closely with manufacture for warranty. Great design with very fair pricing. I hope to work with KDS team again in our next house :)

We had KDS make our kitchen island. We found that many kitchen stores wouldn't consider making the island alone so were thrilled when KDS agreed to make it for us. Kevin helped us finalize our idea in store and Hannah helped with submitting the order and further questions . There were a few hiccups along the way but KDS cares deeply about customer service and corrected any mishaps immediately. I haven't been this impressed with a business in a long time! KDS makes excellent quality products and provides amazing customer service! Highly Recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Karen at Kitchen Design Services for a complete kitchen remodel for our 1970s kitchen. Karen worked with us through the entire process of the remodel from design, helping to select and source cabinets, hardware, materials, etc. We are absolutely thrilled with the final product and how well Karen and team worked with our contractor, engineer, and suppliers to make sure we stayed on time through the project.

My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Ariana to design custom cabinets for our entire house for a rather large remodel last year, which included a full new kitchen and 3 new bathrooms with all matching wood styling. During the design phase, Ariana was great at understanding our preferred aesthetics and recommending layouts and finishes that appeal to us. We even hired her to help us choose cabinet handles, floorings and paint colors. All of the cabinets arrived on time for installations and Ariana worked closely with our contractor to make modifications to fit around existing drain and water lines. Communication was never an issue and we got all problems resolved promptly with clear ETCs. We definitely love how modern and cohesive everything looks, and the quality is fantastic. After almost a year after installation, all of the cabinets and shelvings are still working great. I'm especially geeky about the corner LeMans cabinet! All of the product lines they offer use European woods, which is definitely more expensive than Chinese woods cabinets you can buy elsewhere. We definitely felt much more at ease about the quality of these cabinet lines (we used Columbia) and, given EU's more stringent regulations, safer with any potential VOC or toxic content in the finishes products. Would definitely love to work with Ariana again on future projects!

Karen was tremendously helpful in guiding us through the process of ordering cabinets for our whole home remodel. We would have been lost without her. Not fully understanding how forward-thinking you must be when designing the spaces for your home, Karen went on and beyond to show us a variety of design options to meet our needs. She was also extremely patient and kind with us while we were making our decisions, all the while, keeping us aware of timing deadlines and discount options. Whenever we had questions, she was there to assist us. She answers her phone and responds to messages in a timely fashion. My husband and I felt very well taken care of and that she was excellent regarding service and support. I would highly recommend Karen and Kitchen Design Services.

Kevin Roessler at KDS is an innovative designer whom I can highly recommend for any project. Kevin really took the time to understand how we use our kitchen and then created the design accordingly. Kevin asked us about how many people are cooking typically at the same time, what needed to be within my reach (I am much shorter than my husband), how much space we needed/wanted for various activities (baking, pasta-making, etc.), how much storage was required (lots and lots), how much socializing happened in the kitchen and many more details that never would have crossed my mind. I will always remember being asked "where do you want your spices" and now I love having them in a drawer right next to the cook top easily accessible no matter what I am cooking (I thought everyone kept their spices in a cabinet). Not only was Kevin creative and insightful, but he was also conscientious about our budget helping us make informed choices about each selection and giving us the time to refine the design so that it perfectly met our needs. There are so many options now for cabinetry, finishes, gadgetry, etc., that without an informed designer's expertise it can be overwhelming, but Kevin made it relatively easy. We were also very pleased with his participation during construction. Kevin stayed with the project through installation and our move-in to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. When hurdles were encountered in the construction (through no fault of KDS), he helped us devise solutions and worked well with the various trades to ensure we had the kitchen of our dreams and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We hired Kevin of KDS to help us design our kitchen area for a remodel project after finding some very positive reviews on Houzz. We found Kevin to be very professional, organized, and detailed-oriented in his approach throughout all phases our project. Kevin is also a very good listener, which definitely helped our project get done correctly and meet our expectations. We were not sure if we really needed a designer, but after seeing the results we are sure glad we did! We started by meeting Kevin at our house to view and discuss the project. Kevin asked us a lot of questions about how we use the space and what our goals were in terms of appearance and functionality. He then took some pictures and measurements and then carefully surveyed the area. Afterward, he provided us with a software-generated, 3-D rendition of the area which gave us a good idea of what the finished product would look like from several views before the project even started. It is also noteworthy that Kevin helped us choose new kitchen cabinets as he is also a manufacturer's representative for Columbia cabinets and has a nice showroom in Santa Clara. Additionally, he gave us some referrals to help us choose our appliances. With the most of the design phase complete, Kevin referred us to a general contractor he has worked with in the past whom we ended up hiring. Kevin and the general contractor even met with us at a local tile and stone supplier to select the granite for the counter top and the tiles for the floor and the back splash. After the construction started, Kevin stopped by several times to answer any questions or discuss any problems that we or the contractor had. This definitely provides added value to the KDS design service package. Of course, Kevin also came by at the project's end to inspect the quality of the work. We are very glad we chose KDS for our kitchen design needs. Kevin not only participates in the design, but also helps with selecting materials, selecting the appliances, selecting the contractor, and following up during construction to make sure the customer's expectations are met.
