I really can't praise the dream team at Monterey Kitchens and Bath enough. Guido and Victoria are a…read morepleasure to work with and everything was made easier for me because of their experience, support and talent. They took my kitchen project ideas and created spaces far above what I could ever imagine. I looked forward to meeting with them and watching my little kitchen space evolve before my eyes. I received so much attention it felt like I was their only client. Unlike my contractor, Guido, and Victoria were always available to me. Always. Guido is an experienced, creative designer with excellent taste who thinks outside the box. He went with me to pick my stone and backslash even offering to drive me to the Bay area for more choices. Victoria did all the 3D plans in order that my non-3 demential brain could see exactly what the space would look like, as well as the plans to submit for a permit. Guido and Victoria helped me pick and buy appliances, which is not easy these days. Every detail was handled including buying hardware. They even purchased for me so I got discounts. They created a three-ring binder that was a godsend for the contractor. They were my support system and I will never forget that without them, my gorgeous kitchen would never have happened. Grazie mille!

I absolutely love my new kitchen!!! Guido blended his knowledge and creativity for a…read morea design that works! He has an eye for all the details that are essential in creating a warm and inviting space. I have finally learned after all these years that a kitchen designer is well worth every penny for a remodel or new construction. He held my hand ( and my heart ) throughout the whole process. Thank you Guido! Cindy/Carmel, Ca.

I wish I could give zero stars. Ferguson has consistently proven to be one of the most frustrating…read morecompanies I've ever dealt with, and after multiple bad experiences, I'm finally done. Their sales staff and phone operators are hands-down the rudest people I've encountered in any customer service role. Condescending attitudes, short and snappy responses, zero patience, and zero willingness to actually help solve problems. It's like they're annoyed that you're even calling or showing up in person. we decided to give them one more chance, thinking maybe things had improved. Big mistake. Same rude treatment, same incompetence, same total disregard for the ocustomer. Never again. Avoid Ferguson if you value basic courtesy and competent service. There are plenty of other suppliers who will treat you like a paying customer instead of an inconvenience. 1 star only because I have to pick something.

Even after politely saying I was just browsing, they'd continue shadowing me. It felt less like customer service and more like I was being watched for shoplifting. The knife sharpening disaster: Brought in 4 knives on a Saturday. When I greeted the owner, he completely ignored me and just stepped aside for an employee to ring me up. Already awkward. They said the knives would be ready Monday. Showed up Tuesday - not ready. "We'll call you when they're done." By Friday, still no call. Went in to pick them up anyway - no apology, just handed them over. When I got home and tried using them, I realized none of the knives had actually been sharpened. Not one. The pattern: After this experience, I checked their reviews and realized I'm not alone. Multiple people have complained about similar treatment and service issues. Bottom line: Overpriced merchandise, surveillance-style customer service, unreliable work, and zero accountability when they mess up. There are other options in Monterey for kitchen equipment - save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that values your business.

Thank you for your guidance in fulfilling our vision for our home space. Everything fit perfectly. The quality of the materials are very nice and the look is perfect. My family and I are beyond thankful. Agustín is amazing! He is a true asset to the kitchen studio. What an amazing guy and great soul. His work is fabulous, but his demeanor makes it so pleasant to work with him. He will wrap up the project with hardware and a few things, but for the most part it's done. Thank you Carrie!! I'm in love with my kitchen. My husband and I are beyond happy. Happy tears. I am so thankful for my friend recommended The Kitchen Studio and Agustin's work.
