No How did I feel as a customer? It sucked, My list of items included a high end faucet, sink, wolf range, a sub zero, toilets and few other things. That is about $20k+. My tactic is to ask about the lowest priced item because, I like people who will take care of any customer coming into the store. I will not set foot in this store again.

After 4wks crew mostly disappeared to work on other jobs while most appliances still not installed. Here are highlights from the issues we had: 01- They "mistakenly" took personal property from the jobsite, confirmed they had it with photo, yet never returned it. 02- They trespassed into private, off-limits rooms in the home.  03- Gray/white countertops had bright blue dots and a green line blemishes. Supply house said they would never sell those defects, contractor must have gotten them from dent-n-scratch secondary market. Promised to replace the affected counters but never did.   04- Some cabinets installed wrong positions, one small cab not installed at all. Resulting in bad countertop measurements by stove, island, and sink was off-center. We had to discover these problems since Zenith was not providing oversight.  05- Proj Mgr did not know how to use tape measure (not kidding) and did not know where to look inside wall to verify presence of a "framing header." 06- Naked wire splices in walls, no junction boxes (pic), to feed lights and dishwasher. Serious code violation and fire hazard. (pic) 07- Used ground wire as a Neutral (to carry current), serious code violation and fire & shock hazard. (pic) 08- Uncapped HOT wire left lying loose in ceiling. It electro-shocked me when trying to take pics of nearby nakes splices. (pic) 09- No electrician onsite until the above was observed and we demanded they bring a credentialed electrician to clean it all up.   10- Did not install handles/locks (that were present) onto the new french doors for 1.5wks. Had to use a chair to prop against the doors to hold them shut. I finally installed locks myself.   11-  Had to hire someone else to install over-range microwave and dishwasher.  12- Found only ONE SCREW was holding the over-range cabinets to the wall studs (pic). 13- Covered and blocked new window water drainage holes. Did not know what they were.  14- They started using paint thinner on the brand new LVT floor (eats away the finish according to Mfr.) to remove spilled paint and paint spray droplets. 15- Paint overspray, spills, footprints, everywhere: new LVT floor, existing carpets, furniture, garage, driveway.  16- Dented & scratched our siding (pic). 17- Crew randomly guessed at what to do. They NEVER called me for clarification even tho I wrote my # on the instructions and showed them. Resulted in a lot of surprises and rework not even listed here. 18- Cutting done inside home & garage even tho we put in contract must be done outside. They also did not cover vents/returns as put in contract. DUST EVERYWHERE on first floor, HVAC possibly damaged.

We purchased a 45-year-old home in Santa Rosa that required extensive remodeling. Initially, we…read morevisited Gilman Kitchens simply to gather ideas for a future kitchen renovation, as we were not yet ready to begin. However, after our first meeting with Manon Demers, we decided to move forward with the remodel. We came in with some ideas of our own--such as navy blue lower cabinets with white upper cabinets--and Manon was able to enhance our vision by presenting excellent samples and offering thoughtful, practical guidance. She visited our home before demolition, helped us visualize cabinet and appliance placement, and prepared detailed plans for the project. We relied heavily on Manon's expertise for the cabinetry and countertops, while selecting our own appliances, cabinet hardware, lighting, and wall treatments. The project planning began in June and was completed by the end of October. Working with Manon was a pleasure throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. We are extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Gilman Kitchens and Baths for anyone seeking a beautiful, well-executed kitchen remodel.
