Kitchen Encounters did a fantastic job remodeling both of our bathrooms. Front start to finish everything was done beautifully. Someone from the company checked in with us every morning to be sure all was going well and to double check the schedule. Every single sub contractor that came into our house was very professional and worked diligently and thoroughly. These subcontractors were true artisans, especially Dan the tile man.
His work is awesome. Any questions or concerns that came up were dealt with immediately, efficiently and to the highest of standards. I must also add that they kept to the set schedule, which can be difficult in these times of supply chain issues. I cannot say enough good things about this company. We are thrilled with the final product and were very pleased that the whole process was painless.

If you are considering remodeling, look no further. Kitchen Encounters was nothing short of remarkable! We met with several businesses for quotes on our long awaited kitchen remodel and working with Dave and his family/team was hands down the best experience we have had. Their attention to detail and the desire to get the job done right showed through in every communication and every detail. We were contacted everyday to ensure we were happy with the work and any inquiries we had were promptly responded to. Every employee was prompt, and professional and the project stayed right on schedule even with several issues that were outside of their control. We could not be happier with our new kitchen!

I have owned my house for 17 years and have had 5 different contractors over these years. What makes Kitchen Encounters standout is their attention to detail and quality. Every step of the process was declared up front and completed in the time allotted. The workers were professional, courteous and always willing the work with us and any changes we asked of them. I am "Over the moon" with my new kitchen and highly recommend Kitchen Encounters for your remodeling needs.
