The sales rep/owner Chad Sipes came to my house to talk about my projects. He gave me an estimate of $5,000, which I thought was a little high, but all home-improvement companies during the pandemic seem to be charging high prices. I hired Sipes and Son because they have been in business since the year 2000, they perform the services that I needed, and because they had excellent reviews on other websites such as the Better Business Bureau. The work was performed over about one month, because some of the work was for the exterior of my house, and the weather in January and February was snowy. Four workers came to my house off and on, and all of them were very courteous and professional. I feel very happy with the quality of their work. I expect the brick pointing and sealing to prevent rainwater from damaging my bricks and foundation. The pipe column and drywall were my husband's idea, and they probably were not necessary, but at least we can have peace of mind that our floor will always be sturdy.

Listen. I'm a skeptical person. I was assuming my kitchen would never actually going to be finished. We needed some hefty demolition (built in desk, pantry & bulk head), new counters, cabinets, floors, plumbing, appliances and lighting. Give me a break, I was like "how many contractors do I need to call?". I heard at work about this company Desirable Kitchens. They do kitchen refacing in addition to complete remodeling. You call just one person (he goes by Jimmy) and he has teams of contractors that do all of the work. Usually salespeople rub me the wrong way but Jimmy comes by our house and is friendly, reasonable, understanding, and has lots of good ideas about what would or wouldn't work in our kitchen. He designs, coordinates, and executes everything. You don't have to talk to anyone except him if you don't want to. From the time that he showed up, to the time that we had a completely remodeled kitchen, I did nothing. No. Thing. It was great. From the time that the contractors showed up on the first day, to the time that my entire kitchen was brand new, was 19 calendars days. 19. What? That's ridiculous. Pricing. Kitchens are expensive, but I got a couple of quotes and for reference, this price was $29k LOWER than the one we got from Patete. It's not surprising considering he is his own Business Manager, Marketer, Designer, Coordinator, IT staff, and secretary. The person at work that I heard from had a 4 digit price-tag for a kitchen _refacing_, if that's what you're looking for. Not too bad. He does everything, and is really awesome to work with while doing it. The contractors (John and Fred) were really nice guys. I trusted them in our home. They were respectful, cleaned up after themselves every day, had drop cloths to keep floors outside of the kitchen clean, and were REALLY fast. Did I mention this was done in 19 calendar days (and just 16 working days)? I had a couple of complaints when we were done (needed a new door on a cabinet, because the paint job was off. The counter was dropped on the floor by a separate contracting company, so one of the floors in our front walkway needed to be replaced). We called Jimmy, and he took care of it. The cabinet was fixed and we ended up with new flooring in our front walkway. Nice. If I had ANY bad thing to say at all, was that I wished we had asked to put in an electrical outlet in our island, but we didn't think of that when we were doing it. He gave us an electrician to call to get it done after the fact, which is awesome because electricians are typically impossible to get. Still, we spent maybe a grand total of 4 hours thinking about what we wanted, calling Jimmy, and going through plans for our kitchen and after just 16 working days of effort, our kitchen is completed. I couldn't give a higher review of this company. read more

I have had dealings with a number of contractors over the years--some good--more than a few bad. Jimmy at Desirable Kitchens was quick to respond to our request for a quote. When he arrived, we expected the usual high-pressure sales techniques and the usual promises that contractors rarely keep. He gave us suggestions on best solution for our situation, and gave us a reasonable and fair quote for his services. The promise to fit us into his busy schedule within a few weeks was met with skepticism by me but, he kept his word, arrived earlier than we expected, and did the job in the exact time frame he promised. We are very happy with the final kitchen and we can't recommend him more highly. On top of it all, he's a very nice guy that you will enjoy working with. It was a win-win for us. read more

Our kitchen and bathrooms could not look any better! Jimmy and his team did the best job for us my wife and I have ever seen and we have lived in several homes throughout the country over the years. The cabinet refacing and countertop installation of our kitchen and bathrooms transformed these rooms into something you might see on HDTV. We could not be any happier with the end result. Jimmy and Fred exceeded expectations and were fantastic to work with. Very professional, punctual, kept their promises, and incredible craftsmanship and follow-up.

If you are in the market for a new kitchen or face lift, look no more! Desirable Kitchens is the one to choose. Jimmy ( the owner) and his talented crew made the whole process seamless. The customer experience was top notch and spot on. Jimmy went the extra mile when helping me choose quartz countertops by taking me to Mont Granite to make sure the countertop was what I wanted.

His team showed up when they said they would and cleaned up every day, which made a big difference while living in the house during the job. They were also accommodating and able to work around four other projects I was managing in the house at the same time. The project did run a little longer than expected, but it was a negligible trade-off for the result: a bathroom that genuinely feels like something out of a magazine. What started as a plan to gain a bit of space and fix aging plumbing ended in something much better. I actually love taking showers again. Jason and his team delivered, big time.
