Kitchen Views At National Lumber

My husband and I bought an old colonial home that needed to be completely renovated. We didn’t have the money for an architect to design our new kitchen so we needed to work with a kitchen design company that could do that for us for free. We came to Kitchen Views after a bad meeting with another company, who had told us that we couldn’t get the island we wanted because our kitchen was too small and that we couldn’t get cabinets for less than 30K. I was horrified. So one day I wandered into Kitchen Views and met Bob Russo, who was willing to talk with me about ideas, even though I hadn’t made an appointment. Bob was smart and down to earth and very knowledgeable about everything from cabinet size to kitchen lay-​out to countertops to the style of cabinets. I liked him so much that we decided to go with him.
Bob took us through everything, step by step, helping us stick to our budget. (We got great maple cabinets for 12K, which is very good, and granite countertops for a little over 3K, which thrilled us.) He had us make a list of must haves in the kitchen and gave us a list of appliances we needed and the specs for each. (We used Yale appliance/​lighting for both appliances and lighting and they were amazing too.) Bob made sure we got that island, and that we put in enough cabinets to have proper storage, as well as making sure we had the counter space we needed. He helped us from picking the cabinet/​countertop combination to going over paint colors and backsplash, to picking handles at the end. He emailed us reminders about getting the countertops picked, having the sink delivered for the template, and sent emails with information we needed to convey to Yale appliances as we tried to find the right microwave and stove/​hood combination. And, more importantly, he was there for our contractor as he was installing the cabinets and finding that the walls weren’t completely straight. Our contractor told me, «Bob is so amazing. He really made this project happen and helped us out a lot.» He wanted to make sure that Bob’s boss knew how great Bob was as well.
I have to warn everyone that if you’re looking for a fancy design space, Kitchen Views is disconcerting, because it is a hardware store on the front, and then a small, rather cramped design space in the back. But I always trust my instincts. And I knew that you can’t judge a book (store) by it’s cover, but you can judge it by its people. We got a designer kitchen (way above the caliber of a Home Depot or IKEA kitchen) with beautiful high end cabinets and countertops for a fraction of the cost. And we got a designer who led us joyfully every step of the way. We are so grateful. Thanks Bob!

GREAT Service!
I’m in the process of remodeling my kitchen with them now and I’ll definitely come back to order cabinets for my pantry and all 6 Bathrooms!!! Great quality cabinets for a reasonable price.
