I just had the best kitchen renovation experience with Dennis at KE! He always kept me up to date, reminding me when a workman was scheduled. Both my interior designer and I found him easy to work with. Without exception I was pleased with the workmanship of every tradesman he contracted with to complete my project. And I really really love my newly renovated farmhouse kitchen! I recommend Kitchen Emporium without hesitation.

I have wanted to upgrade my kitchen as long as I can remember. We knocked down a wall, added a wall and moved the kitchen into an adjoining room - new cabinets, new electrical, new plumbing, new floors, new granite countertops. Rob made the process easier than I thought it would be. Everything went like clockwork. The contractors were professional and all showed up when expected. The completion was right on schedule. I highly recommend Kitchen Emporium!

They are excellent. We had our kitchen renovated - new cabinets, remove a wall between our den and kitchen and replace it with a cabinet peninsula, new quartz countertops, and all the electrical and plumbing that goes with it. The contractors were very keen on details, and very polite, professional, and punctual. The job was completed on time and on quote (actually a little more than the quote because we changed our minds on some of the electrical after Dennis quoted the job). We got exactly what we wanted, and are very happy with the results. We highly recommend Kitchen Emporium.
