Mc Daniels Kitchen & Bath

I wanted to update my 1950s kitchen and redo a closed in room to make it a screened in room. I started this process a year ago with another company to no avail. McDaniels & Granite Construction were responsive and timely in getting a quote. The work has not started yet, but I am anxiously awaiting. I worked with Nicole to design the update to the kitchen.

I knew what I wanted and simply gave Nicole pictures of what I had in mind. When the time came to go look at the design and go over the quote, I was very pleasantly surprised. Nicole had done an EXCELLENT job. She had captured what I had envisioned for my kitchen to a tee. I didn't change a thing. I would highly recommend Nicole at McDaniels to design any room for you!

I used McDaniels for my kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace remodel. I worked with Carrie, who is an amazing designer! She combined both of our ideas to come up with the perfect design. I absolutely love my remodel! I highly recommend working with Carrie. Not only is she a great designer, but she is also fun to work with! Service: Kitchen design

For our huge kitchen remodeling project (entirely new footprint) with tricky constraints such as using as much of my historic cabinetry as possible, I grudgingly went with McDaniels. I hired them for a kitchen remodel about 15 years ago and was not awed, but I needed the construction company that comes with McDaniels. I was "assigned" Sarah Schnell.

I can now say, after working with her these past several months to design my forever kitchen, I feel SO lucky to have gotten to work with her. She was a consummate professional. She came to the house multiple times for precision in measurements, she had so many ideas that improved the project (like a solid glass backsplash), she was an effective troubleshooter, and she never was impatient with me for last minute changes, or going back to the suppliers again and again with my constant questions.

I did not have high expectations coming into the project due to my experience all those years ago, but I can confidently say that working with Sarah was a total pleasure, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone about to embark on a remodeling project. And I know exactly who I will ask to work with on future house remodeling projects! Highest rating for Sarah Schnell!

I used McDaniels for our kitchen and bathroom addition and I cannot say enough good things about them! I worked with Tracie, who is an amazing designer and was incredibly patient with my endless questions and concerns. My kitchen is almost finished and it is as functional as it is beautiful! I would highly recommend Tracie and McDaniels to anyone doing a remodeling/addition project!

Nicole Dagen did a spectacular job as designer on our kitchen project. What an artist. The result is fabulous and unique. We could not be happier. She guided us through the project and helped solve any problems along the way. She is lovely to work with, highly skilled and professional yet personal and kind. I have already recommended her to our friends who are starting a kitchen project.

All of the installation people from Granite Construction were also at the top of their game, efficient, thorough and great at their job. This is a really good team. I highly recommend using them.

We used McDaniels Kitchen and Bath when we decided to update our bathroom. Our designer was Nicole Dagen and she made the whole process go very smoothly. She listened to my thoughts on what I wanted and she came up with a beautiful design and colors. We used Granite Construction which Terry and Rich were fabulous to work with and kept us posted every step of the way. I would recommend McDaniels and Nicole for any remodel or build job you may have.

I just had the best experience buying my new refrigerator from McDaniels. If you need a good salesperson to work with I would highly recommend Sarah.she was the BEST! She was so professional and followed everything thru from beginning to end. Our way into our kitchen was only 32 inches but the refrigerator was 36 inches. Sarah came to our house and measured and figured out a way for us to get the one I wanted.

They had to remove the doors to get it in. She even called during installation to make sure everything was going ok. Also all the other staff we dealt with was great. The two installers that were here were fantastic and I give them 5 stars too for everything they did. If you need an appliance I highly encourage you to go to McDaniels and ask for Sarah. You won't be disappointed.

We used McDaniels Kitchen and Bath for our kitchen remodel. Wow! They knocked it out of the park! Our designer, Dave, came up with a plan that fit our needs and allowed us to use our space in a way we would not have imagined. He was very creative and listened to what we wanted. We visited the showroom and had a difficult choosing our cabinets from the vast collection.

So many choices! With their help, we made the right choice and our new kitchen looks fabulous! Everyone was great to work with from the designer and office staff to the warehouse and delivery person. I would highly recommend this business to my friends and family.

We have been using McDaniels for our primary residence cabinetry needs since 1989, and we still love them. When it came to remodeling our cottage at Higgins Lake we were happy to hear McDaniels would service and deliver to us in northern Michigan. Even more delighted we were able to get all of our remodel project materials in one place: cabinetry, countertops, faucet, hardware, as well as our vinyl plank flooring.

We were able to use our own contractor from up north and our own favorite supplier back home. Julie J. was patient, provided guidance, and really listened to what we wanted. Our requests were not for the popular selections most people favor, but more of a cottage/cabin feel. We are delighted with the transformation! Even our contractor complimented us on the quality of the Diamond cabinets we selected. Thanks McDaniels!

Called for new countertops. Rough measure over the phone. Scheduled appointment for final measure. Clearly stated we would put 50% down at that time-zero risk, cash in the barrel head. Mike said he's come Wednesday at 3PM and then he could cut out of work early. (Nice priorities there.) Mike Jessup didn't show up for the appointment and when the appointment was supposed to happen I got another email, copy of hand written estimate thing that said I had to pay $100 or 50% before he would even show up.

I reiterated that we were ready to go cash in hand when he got here he said never mind he didn't need my business. He was weird. He was rude. He was a no show. I think the best thing we can do for them is NOT BOTHER McDaniels Kitchen and Bath with any business. Run! You owe it to yourself to go where your business is appreciated.

Julie Johnson was our designer for our total kitchen remodel. It is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was very responsive of our wishes and needs. The whole job stayed completely on schedule and we did not have one day of delay. Granite Construction did the installation and they were also as fantastic as McDaniels and Julie. I added some before and after photos but they don't do justice to the amount of work that was done and the joy I feel working in my new kitchen. Don't hesitate, use McDaniels!

This gets a little messy so let me put it this way - Our objective: A significant enhancement to our kitchen in the form of; construction modifications to our counter-tops / removal of existing laminate tops / selection, purchase and installation of 105 sq. ft. of granite / installation of in- and under-cabinet lighting / installation of expansive back-splash and installation of several new appliances. McDaniels' role: We knew what we wanted so design services were unnecessary. McDaniels was responsible for purchasing our selected granite, assigning the fabricator, purchasing the new granite composite sink, providing the electrician with lighting products and seeing that the back-splash installer had tile and grout delivered to our site in time for installation. (McDaniels' affiliate) Granite Construction Company's role: GCC did the construction and removal of existing laminate counter-top and the assignment/management of multiple independent contractors to see the project completed.

The Pro's: Each and every professional Granite Construction Company had on-site delivered expert craftsmanship, minimized any inconvenience to us and performed their duties promptly at the scheduled time. We were and are so appreciative for their excellent work on our behalf. The Con's: Of the five items for which MK&B was responsible, three developed hitches that we and (McDaniels' owner) Don Jessup were eventually able to overcome. Don's a first-class guy and took an active role in fixing problems that arose.

It did mean some extra miles and anxiety on our part but we were able to help get the job done. Bottom Line: We are hugely happy with our new kitchen. We didn't allow hiccups to get in the way and took a personal role in making sure we stayed on track. Our advice to you: For those considering MK&B for similar projects, we suggest you ask specifically for a team member who has been recommended to you.

As I say, we knew what we wanted but you should work with an experienced professional in whom you can have confidence but keep an eye out for missteps. They can and do often occur and it's your house, your money and your peace of mind. so pay attention! Roger M.

Our kitchen needed a serious upgrade/possible remodel with old tile countertops, cracked flooring, dated fixtures and appliances from the 80's. The cabinets were Grabill, which apparently are the equivalent of having a Lamborghini versus a Ford in the cabinet world. The cabinets were in great shape but the drawers and doors had been beaten up so badly that they needed to be replaced.

When all was looked at, we chose McDaniels as they worked with Grabill and we were able to replace the doors and drawers at a much reduced cost vs new cabinetry ($6k vs $20k+). We asked for help from a designer, Julie, who was professional and helpful. She came to the house twice and we met in the office as well. She listened to our requests and designed a package including the countertop, tile, backsplash, appliances and cabinetry. Granite Construction is really the star of the show because they worked within the guidelines of the contract.

They were timely, they cleaned up each day and most importantly, troubleshooted problems as they showed up quickly and with good results. Granite also had the plumber and electrician hired with new lighting and under cabinet lighting installed. The project was completed almost in time- there was an issue where an electrical piece was needed and it took about a week past the project end to have that installed.

We had one issue with the dishwasher; the package selected had a handle on the door and because the dishwasher was next to a corner, you could not open the door without hitting the hardware on the cabinetry next to it. We had to get another dishwasher without a handle and it took about two weeks before it was installed. I have to say, that the attention to detail was stellar other than those issues. The resulting kitchen is beautiful and a joy to work in. We are very pleased and would highly recommend McDaniels and Granite Construction.

Do not recommend unless you have hours to waste talking with a salesperson who isn't able to prepare a quote or send an email. There are too many other businesses out there who appreciate potential customers enough to follow up. This is not one of them.

By far the worst company I've ever worked with. Not only were mistakes continuously made, there was no accountability just excuses. Apparently a $18k job isn't big enough for them. I have a laundry list of issues, setbacks, and communication issues even after working with 2 different designers and having the owner out to visit my home! A visit which basically ended with my husband telling him were were finished and asking him to leave our home because he was so unhelpful and showed no concern for the issues we'd been having.

For my project, I was adding one floor to ceiling wall oven cabinet to my kitchen, putting in an island, new countertops and new backsplash. I stopped everything once the cabinet was ordered because I had had enough. I don't understand how this company is in business. I'm all about giving local companies business, but this was a DISASTER.

They need some serious customer service and communication training. Multiple times I'd go weeks without a promised call back or email. It got to the point where they had to find out second had from our 3rd party countertop template guy that we were no longer doing business with them. I wouldn't wish working with McDaniels on my worst enemy it was that bad.

The design phase went well, however, afrter eight weeks, the $8,000 cabinets were delivered (and paid for) but had flaws in them. Replacements were ordered and it took ANOTHER six weeks for delivery. Meanwhile, McDaniels left the flawed cabinets in my family room. When we finally received the new cabinets I called and was told they would investigate why it took so long for the replacements. I have never received a call or a reason for all the delays. Poor customer service.

Would NEVER us this company again. Would never recommend them to anyone. Spend $47,000 on Grabill cabinets alone. This does not include the cost to install with my own builder/installer. Problem - The custom range hood was the wrong size! Requested the owner (Mr. Jessup) come to my home to look at the problem. His advise was to either buy a new hood insert to accommodate the incorrect hood or order a new custom hood from Grabill.

He NEVER offered to help with this error by Grabill/McDaniels. In fact, I had to write to him three months later to recover the cost of the new hood insert and installation. We had to handle this ourselves as we never heard from him again. Buyer BEWARE.

McDaniels has an amazing showroom that really helped us make our decision for the cabinets we wanted. They have so much on display and being able to touch and feel the materials is exactly what we needed to know we were making the right decision. We've had a few people over since the cabinets were installed and those who know have commented on the quality of them and are really impressed. It's nice knowing that not only do we love our kitchen, but it will look good for a long time to come.

My impression is that if you don't want a full remodel, they don't want to waste their time with you. I went in asking about a special type of countertop that I had seen online. After determining that I didn't need new cabinets, the suddenly disinterested salesperson told me they didn't carry it and no one she knew of carried it around Lansing. Based on some of her other comments, I'm not even sure she really understood what I was asking for.

Then she went on about how difficult it would be for me to measure and install the countertops even if I could order them online. OK, I really was hoping that they knew how to do the measuring and installation even if I had to special order from some other place - that's why I went in. Instead, it seems if you aren't interested in the full package remodel, you aren't worth their time. They may do great work, I don't know. I didn't get passed the customer service.

McDaniels did a great job on my bathroom. They coordinated the process very well. I would have and should have hired them for my kitchen but I wanted a detailed breakout of my costs so I could decide if I wanted to take on any of the projects myself. I never got it. I went the cheap route and regretted it. Things that I appreciated: The talent of the team that came to inspect my house.

They knew right away what they could and couldn't do and why. It was a tight project and the other company's sent only person with limited knowledge. The project was on time. They worked with me to listen to my ideas and provide feedback. The end result is a piece of heaven in my bathroom. Things that kept them from a 5 star in my book: I don't understand why I didn't get an itemized list.

A little expensive, but arguably worth it. I should have ensured all parts of the project were in the contract. I had a cove in the shower and it's very nice, but it wasn't in the project so it almost didn't get done, plus I should have specified size. I had a shelf put on the long wall of the shower/bath. It came out more than expected because there was dispute between the tilers and contractors. Overall I would recommend them and do business again.
