We are extremely satisfied with our kitchen renovation completed by the Kitchen Emporium. Dennis was very receptive to both the specifics and general concepts we wanted incorporated into the finished product. His years of experience was evident when it came to his suggestions of things to consider. We were also was very pleased with the quality of work put forth by each of the different trades involved with the actual demolition and installation.

Spectacular remodel! I have had the best kitchen remodel in both design and execution. Every aspect of the kitchen remodel went well from Dennis the lead designer and shout out to Shelby; to a great craftsman Brennan who installed the Huge beam in the ceiling that allowed us to remove a large column in the middle of the old kitchen along with various other jobs, to Bo and Tim the best cabinet installers who went above and beyond and handled my high end cabinets with loving care, to Chris the fast, professional, and great tile installer, to Zack a very hard working, neat, knowledgeable hardwood

We choose contractors with great "A+" ratings on Angie's List because they have always done great work. Dennis and his team from Kitchen Emporium are no exception. They have just finished a complete redesign and installation of our kitchen and it is beautiful. We had several design features of our own that we wanted incorporated and Dennis made that happen. From tear out to electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring and installation teams they were professional in every way. As Dennis said, his team makes him look good. If you want or need a kitchen remodel, we highly recommend Kitchen

Our complete kitchen makeover was scheduled to begin in mid-April. Right before the start date, I was notified that I had to have some surgery. Rob and his crew started on a Tues and I went into the hospital on Friday, for 5 days. Rob and his people were so wonderful to my wife during this process. They kept her up to speed as to what each day curtailed and worked with her around some of her visits and stays with me at the hospital. They were all very respectful toward her and went over each task with her as the job progressed. They showed up when they said they would, introduced themselves
