After our first experience with the Kowalske Kitchen & Bath team for a kitchen remodel project in our last home, we knew that we would turn to them for the kitchen remodel project in our condo. Just as in our first kitchen remodel project, our expectations were exceeded in this kitchen remodel project! We have recommended them to friends who are looking for innovative, beautiful, high quality design and workmanship in a remodeling project. The Kowalske team takes great pride in all aspects of their work and in their relationships with their clients. They are professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and highly responsive - consistently!

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Working with Christina, our Kowalske Kitchen & Bath designer, was both informative and fun! She developed a vision for the redesign of the kitchen in our condo that was in line with the ideas that we had. We were able to examine a range of options for each component of our kitchen and make our choices with Christina's expertise. Throughout the design process, Christina offered options that were within our budget and presented options that were outside of our budget so that we could make comparisons and informed choices. Christina demonstrated her knowledge of the industry, the trends, and the range of products that were available for our project.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - The Kowalske Kitchen & Bath staff and subcontractors were very professional and extremely organized throughout the project. At each phase of the project, the staff and subcontractors explained the work that would be done and the timeline for the work.

The staff and subcontractors were very reliable in terms of arriving when they said they would arrive and explaining the work that was being done.

Communication

Communication - The communication from Kowalske Kitchen & Bath was exceptional at all phases of the project. The staff and subcontractors communicated with us via phone calls, texts, and emails. One of the most helpful tools that they use is the BuilderTrend app. We were able to create our account on the app and use the app to follow the documented progress on our project (including photos), to communicate with secure messaging, and to see the financial status of our project.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - We had contracted with Kowalske Kitchen & Bath about 9 years ago for a kitchen renovation project in our last home. The workmanship for that project was the highest quality and we wanted that level of quality again for this kitchen renovation project in our condo. Kowalske Kitchen & Bath came through again with the highest quality of workmanship! The attention to detail that each of the staff and subcontractor demonstrated is consistently above our expectations.

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - The staff and subcontractors took the steps necessary to insure that the work environment and the surrounding areas in our home were kept clean and safe. It was most impressive to see that the area was cleaned each day at the end of the work day.

Project Management

Project Management - We are most impressed with the attention that we received from Byron, our Production Manager, and Eric, our Project Manager. They were most responsive to any questions, concerns, or needs that we had during our kitchen remodeling project. Byron was not just a Production Manager by title - he was frequently on our job site to examine the work being done and to address any questions, concerns, and needs that we had. He was approachable and encouraged us to bring up any matters with him - big or small. Eric was so conscientious as the Project Manager, attending to all details of our project.

Designer Service

Designer Service - Christina was such a pleasure to work with because she made herself available to us and communicated with us in a variety of ways. She has such a gift for envisioning a kitchen design that is beautiful, functional, and current. Christina's design truly enhanced the beauty and functionality of our kitchen and of our condo. She often went above and beyond to insure that we were more than satisfied with our choices, the work that was done, and the final product.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - Addressing and resolving problems is an absolute strength for Kowalske Kitchen & Bath and reflects the pride that this company takes in its projects and the work that they do for their clients.

Punchlist
