And through completion of our kitchen project we experienced exactly that - professionalism, on-time delivered work and diligent communication every step of the way to ensure our satisfaction. They made it easy to coordinate arrival - offering for someone to meet me and hand off keys, offering to work around our schedule, providing clear timelines of when we could expect work to be started and completed.

The name "Intelligent Kitchen" perfectly reflects the character of the company! My wife and I worked with Lauren on designing new cabinets for our kitchen. We are super happy with the results as well as with the experience! Lauren is very easy to work with. She managed to both listen to what we wanted and steer us in the right direction as well as anticipate potential issues. One of the things that very impressed us was Lauren's attitude. She is proud of her work and stands by it. She cares not only about the aspects directly relevant to her but overall end result ie functionality, look and cost of the kitchen. Also she is very thoughtful, experienced and detail oriented which helped us find creative answers to nontrivial dilemmas with our small Manhattan kitchen. Lauren met .every deadline and commitment she made to us. Overall very happy with our choice of the company and the results. We recommend IKNY without any hesitation. read more

We are so fortunate and grateful to have found Intelligent Kitchen (IK) last winter in our neighborhood. Jen Cohen, who was our rep, is a gem. Our renovated kitchen (completed Feb, 2016) is a masterpiece in large part because of Lauren and Jen and Miralis (the cabinet manufacturer). Getting a quality design and quality cabinets would have been enough, but we continue to be amazed by IK's professionalism, integrity, responsiveness, and service which have made a very challenging endeavor much easier. Our GC installed the cabinets. Jen worked seamlessly with our contractor to make sure that everything was done right. You won't find a more competent and supportive team than the IK team. Plus, their pricing is very competitive, delivery was on-time and quicker than competitors', and the quality of the cabinets is top shelf. Look no further than IK. read more

I have to agree with all the other voices here. Intelligent Kitchen and Lauren Park along with her recommended contractor Segundo deserve 6 stars. I love my kitchen and it has changed my life. I now look forward to getting home to cook dinner as opposed to picking up take out. Lauren and Segundo managed to create an incredibly effecient as well as beautiful space out of a relatively compact area. Lauren is a patient and talented designer who knows her vendors well. Segundo is a master craftsman. The two of them anticipated issues and spearheaded them in ways far beyond my knowledge, even though I come from a family of designers. I am so delighted with what they did that I held a party to celebrate and if you ask nicely, I will invite you in too see it. It's fun to show off great work. read more

We'd met…read morewith the owner, Matt, a few years back to quote the same, but were tripped up with life and not in a position to proceed. During the quoting process, Matt was very transparent in informing us about a variable plumbing cost that could exist based on the building's management and their requirements. It was more than a marginal increase to say the least. However, none of the other contracting companies even mentioned this; they built it into their pricing regardless of whether it was necessary or not. In addition to our research, this honestly was why we chose to reach out only to Agalliu when we were ready to proceed. In keeping with his transparency, Matt was up front in telling us during the re-quoting that we would have been better off financially to have done the work when we first met as everything had increased. Given the economy, this wasn't exactly news. That said, the price adjustment was actually less than we'd expected and the same 8-10 week timeline was quoted for the down-to-studs effort. Every phase of the project went well. The contractors were all polite and pleasant. They cleaned up well and clearly worked to avoid any collateral damage to any other areas of the apartment. The only schedule disruption was due to a condition with the building's pipes and not the responsibility of Agalliu Contracting. In short, after demolition Matt had strongly suggested we have our building's Super look over the other exposed pipes that were outside of our commitment to fix to ensure he did not have any issues or concerns that may be the building's responsibility to repair. In doing so, a pipe was identified as overly weathered and could possibly fail at some point in the future, jeopardizing the work we'd done (yes, we and the building have insurance but who wants to deal with that headache). After discussing with Agalliu, the Super, and the Building Management, we all agreed the piping needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, this was right at the point where the wall needed to be closed, so we encountered a minor delay. Again, definitely not the fault of Agalliu, who enthusiastically favored getting the repair done to avoid future problems even if this delayed the effort. Even with the delay, they still finished a week early. My wife and I were very happy with not only the end result, but also the process. The tile work is beautiful and thoughtfully applied, such as making sure cut pieces are the same size and symmetric. The finishes were also installed quickly and with consideration to our desired positioning. Matt was never more than a call or text away and visited most every day. He engaged with the Superintendent directly to minimize or avoid any impact to our neighbors and other tenants. If we had any questions, he was very quick to address and let us know our options if there was any downstream impact. We will recommend to anyone who asks and even discussed other projects as this one was completing. Thank you again.
