I definitely recommend Bath + Kitchen to design and install new kitchen cabinets. Bath + Kitchen…read moredoes an outstanding job with design, remodeling and cabinetry. We love our new space. The team is well versed in kitchen design and does beautiful kitchen designs (just seems the pics). They asked lots of questions and made sure to design the cabinetry with the right amount of drawers, accessories and lighting to meet our specific requirements. During install the team was very communicative and the crew was on time and professional every day (and wore their masks all day while working in the house). Appreciate the time they spend to make sure you're happy with the design and details.

When we bought our house in 2005, the people who flipped it had just redone the kitchen. It was…read moreperfectly fine, but nothing exciting. Years later, it was time to replace everything, and we wanted a kitchen with a better flow, more space, and better quality cabinets and appliances. Most contractors we contacted simply wanted to replace everything without improving it. Bath Plus Kitchen has actual architects on staff, listened to my list of wants and needs, and then incorporated them. I liked that they change a base price for this, so that I had the option of taking the plans to a different contractor or of using their in-house building crew. We went with their building crew, and we're really happy with how the kitchen turned out. It's so much more open and spacious than before. I have lots of space for working. I upgraded to a powerful stove with a hood, both of which work great. I'm really happy with the quality of the cabinets -- such an upgrade from any I've had before, probably ever. I'm enjoying the little extras that they planned into the kitchen that wouldn't have occurred to me, like dimmers on all of the lights, the quality hardware, touch-sensitive faucet, even the matching wood-panel vent covers and switch plate. The building crew did a very good job keeping the site clean and performing quality work all the way around. Nothing has felt wobbly, looked crooked, or seemed in the slightest bit off. A few negatives: Bath Plus Kitchen is BUSY! We started working on this project in November 2022. We finalized the plans, picked out appliances, and put down a large deposit in early February 2023. Work on our kitchen actually began the second week of July. That's a while to wait! We also had a few communication challenges, like a shifting start date, when to expect the crew to be at our house, and who was responsible for arranging delivery of a few items. It was nothing awful, but worth keeping on top of. Overall, the kitchen looks great and is great to cook in, and I'm excited to have friends over. I think we will enjoy it for many years to come.

I went to Old Town Bath and Kitchen when I needed to replace the cartridge for my bathroom faucet…read more It was an older, higher-end model and come to find out cartridges were hard to get a hold of. Ed, the manager from Old Town B&K, was able to do it! Moreover, he did this over the course of 2 emails and a phone call. He was incredibly helpful in helping me maneuver all of this - dealing with a leaky faucet and a less than interested manufacturer. Unfortunately, the cartridge did not fix the problem and in fact my faucet leak became worst due to internal damage the plumber found. I was soon advised to simply replace the faucet. I emailed Ed and asked for help once again; I sent him a picture of my current faucet and asked what we he could do to help me find something similar. In hours he found multiple alternatives in a great price range - $250 - $350; this was half the price of the faucet I was replacing. The options were all great and I ended up settling on one that I love more than the original faucet. Ed was a savvy advisor that in a few short emails and calls was able to help me find a high quality and beautiful faucet that I love. He was simply SPECTACULAR - especially during a demanding work week and crazy travel schedule. Moreover, Ed worked swiftly to get me the new faucet in two days so I was able to get rid of the leaky one and have a fully operational bathroom again. Simply awesome. And while I feel the mark-up on some of the products seemed a little high, I would surely say it was all worth it considering the amazing customer service and counsel I got from Ed and the team! I plan to return to them for all my bathroom and kitchen needs in the years to come! They were fantastic.

Braemar Cabinetry is happy to sell you crappy MDF cabinets, have beat them up on installation, and…read morethen not honor your warranty claims. Braemar is the "in-house" cabinet and kitchen design arm of Marks-Woods Construction LLC. (of whom I am not a fan for reasons you can read elsewhere), and tout luxury materials and access to a design team to ensure a beautiful and integrated result. Unfortunately, this illusion is as thin as Braemar's plasticky "wood" veneers. We worked with their designers who were pleasant and professional (and both have since left the company...hmmm). Unfortunately, they failed to take into account the actual ceiling line of one of our rooms (despite Marks-Woods having built that part) which led to a pretty ridiculous look (we ripped those cabinets out). The kitchen cabinets are wholly mediocre and at least partially made in China, giving Home Depot a run for its money in the race to the bottom in quality. The installers (also in house) chipped and scratched and splintered portions of them. We tried to get these issues addressed under warranty (and were assured that they would be), but to no avail: our emails were punted and then abandoned after three months, after which we gave up. Add to these issues the fact that the cabinets are super expensive ($56,000+), and I would highly recommend you look elsewhere for your cabinetry needs.

Constructive criticism: Make sure that all changes and/or conversations are followed up in writing; be prepared that the owner, George is rude and at times combative.
