We should have gone with Home Depot, but wanted to support local small business and used…read moreLisa/Kitchen Krafter for gut renovation of a small condo kitchen, which turned out to be a BIG Mistake. Could have purchased the same cabinets and countertop at a Big Box store, but might have ended up with a 21 inch sink as requested, and not a 21 inch sink base, which resulted in an 18 inch sink - the difference was never explained. But the big problem was the contractor Lisa highly recommended as a "craftsman" - George Evans. He continuously made misrepresentations about timing (gross delays, even by contractor's standards). A number of important elements needed to be redone (e.g., wrong type/color of paint, counter top design and grout), because he did not follow specific written and verbal instructions, and could not focus on time management, details, and task completion. He persistently gave excuses and blamed others (subcontractors) for delays and errors; after a point, he lost credibility. We ended up accepting his mistakes as design compromises, just to get the job done and get George out of the house. Bottom Line: I CANNOT recommend Kitchen Krafter.

Working with Carla Gaeta/Kitchen Krafter was the best decision we made in connection with our…read morekitchen renovation. Carla's design skills are exceptional. Not only did she completely transform our kitchen (which involved a high level of skill and vision), but she did so with a passion not typically found in professionals. Perhaps her greatest skill lies in her experience, from which she is able to anticipate potential issues and address them in connection with her designs. She remained involved throughout the process -- corresponding with contractor at various points about issues that arose throughout the construction. Lastly, her ability to understand our project goals and balance those with costs made us feel like we were part of collaborative process in which she valued our opinions, understood our concerns, and used them to create a beautiful kitchen that was within our budget and exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend Carla/Kitchen Krafter to anyone in need of a design professional!

Seven years ago, I bought a bench to use as a coffee table for in front of my sofa. It had a dark…read moreespresso brown faux leather (pleather) hinged top that lifts up for storage. Perfect for small NYC apartments but, over the years, the pleather started to crack and fall apart. I looked around for a similar bench with a real leather top, but none were as nice as mine and all were crazy expensive, more than $1200 (yikes!), so I decided to look into having the pleather replaced with real leather. I got a few quotes and one was from Sal. Of all the quotes, Sal's was the only one that included pickup AND delivery (I am in Manhattan and he is in NJ!) AND he mailed me a sample of the leather which I got in a few days. No one else could be bothered to do that, they all told me to come to their shops and look at samples, which meant I had to rent a car and take a day off work...no way. When Sal came to pick up the top of the bench (it comes off by removing a few screws in the hinges), we discussed the color and finish of the new leather, which was to match the old pleather. He kept me posted as to his progress via email and text, which I most appreciated. A week later, he called and said it was ready and we found a time for him to drop it off. When he arrived, he came inside and took the wrapping off the new top - it looks awesome! I am amazed at how great it looks, just thrilled! He even duplicated some fancy top stitching the other vendors refused to do and stayed to help me reattach the top to the base. I am so happy with my 'new' coffee table which, because it is real leather, will last forever. Sal is a craftsman who takes pride in his work and he is a really great guy too! Thanks so much, Sal!
